May 14th, 1996. Geraldo Rivera’s namesake talk show discusses white skin privilege as well as the personal issues between friends of different races.
“What we’ve accomplished, they think they’re better. That a white woman would say I don’t….black people have never been that lucky.”
Charmaine Jones tells why black women should be with black men, the sisters support the brothers. Julianne Malveaux Phd talks about how black women are the lowest on the social totem pole at the start. Another woman says she has no problem with interracial dating but has seen children suffer from having parents of two different races. She says it’s up to white and black women to bridge the gap.
Midge Wilson author of Divided Sisters, Deborah Mitchell Geraldo’s Supervising Producer as well as several guests who are best friends with members of the opposite race fill out the set.
