LiquidPoetry1921 Now in its second season, CNN's series 'United Shades of America' addresses different issues throughout the country ~ with a completely different spin. Hosted by African-American standup comedian W. Kamau Bell, he presents things through a refreshingly different prism.For example, Bell interviews white privilege advocate Richard Spencer, a neo-Nazi who abhors any race that is not his own, travels to Puerto Rico to talk to its residents about it becoming the 51st state, and what it's like to be a Muslim in small town America. It is interesting to hear stories reported by a person of color as they have insights to things that may be unknown to mainstream white America.Past episodes have focused on people who have gone 'off the grid', what is entailed in buying a gun, and the dangerous street gangs of Chicago. All in all a very fascinating show, especially since it's addressed from a new perspective.

Gutch220 Some of the episodes are interesting in terms of the physical location, but I can sum up every episode; Every non-white person is a helpless victim, every white person is bad (at least a little bit). The show would be more accurate with the title "The White Devil". It's very obvious that the creator(s) are racist in my opinion.

stefankarlssoncom yet again a very biased review with this guy, as i enjoyed the past productions where both parties got the chance to talk this only let one side talk.he has now become the new slimmer michael moore, no longer funny no longer talented just a jackal catering his own history to new audiences.hint. if you see a documentary that only speaks bad on one side stop watching we're all flawed.

howtogrowgods Having never commented on IMDb, it is an assumption on my part that I will be able to edit this review once the series has actually premiered.I have to wonder why this show has a rating already when it has yet to air. Walter Kamau Bell has never denied that he is a politically polarizing figure, but I don't know what would motivate users to vote down something that they have never seen, and therefore of which they could judge neither the journalistic nor the entertainment value.Perhaps those Klan guys weren't happy with the clip editing.Regarding said clip and related interviews, I think that this show looks promising as an exploration of American diversity, not just ethnically but culturally. If Bell can remain in the role of either calm observer or funny comedian without being overly proselytic towards the audience, it should have pretty broad appeal.
