Black Hollywood Struggles Highlighted with Cancellation of Kodjoe’s Show

by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University, Scholarship in Action 

I spend quite a bit of time running in and out of "30 Rock," the headquarters for NBC. The last time I went through the studio, I couldn't help but notice that there were quite a few black people staring at me. They were not real human beings actually, just photographs of them. One was a larger-than-life picture of Blair Underwood, the actor who stars in the new NBC show, 'The Event.' There was also Boris Kodjoe, the man who will always be about 8,000 times better looking than I am. In case you're wondering if I am jealous, the answer is a resounding "yes." I am a officially a serious 'hater.'
I was impressed that NBC made such a massive investment in two shows featuring prominent African American men. I was hopeful that this would continue the trend toward something big. The buzz around the shows in the black community was deafening, and I especially noticed a great deal of discussion surrounding Kodjoe's new show.

ejaculation, according to two major clinical trials. Dapoxetine is a short-acting

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).

I would like to add that if you do not already have an insurance policy or else you do not form part of any group insurance, you could well take advantage of seeking aid from a health insurance broker.

Pet friends, when I keep not asked in regard to secure anyone to cure, but soul is such a diabolical attitude, that
have to beg looking for help. I'm in a very key state of affairs, ask Your friends, help
they can, how much can. I choice be hugely appreciative to You.
