... Dwayne's Speech..

Warning: Spoilers
I only caught the end of this episode but I loved Dwayne's speech or his argument to the A&M guys. I'm really mad that I didn't get to see the entire episode but I know it was good. when I turned to A Different World I was surprised to see Dwayne and Ron in jail and I wondered what for. So when I found out it was an episode revolved around race I had to watch the rest of it, regardless of not having seen the beginning

I loved the police officer PS He questioned both sides of the story

Apparently this incident happened on the weekend of Dr. King's birthday so a lot of things were heated already; like they tend to be.

GOOD STUFF!!

A truly great episode of a so-so show.

My brother and I caught this on TV one day when we were in our late teens We never watched the show, so I don't know why we caught it.

It is a fantastic piece about racial perspective. I am kind of amazed that in the last 17 years, there have not been more things like it.

It was both hilarious and thought-provoking. It was predictably sympathetic to the black side of the story - nevertheless - it was great stuff.

Kadeem Hardisson's two appearances in the retelling are worth the price of admission.

Good piece for a teacher to use for classroom discussion.
