Spike Lee, Al Sharpton and Paul Mooney Discuss Race In New Mini-Series

by James Bartlett

In honor of Black History Month, Nickelodeon's TV Land will be airing a three-part mini-series, entitled "That's What I'm Talking About," which delves into the topic of Blacks in American culture and society.

The mini-series, hosted by comedian Wayne Brady, will premiere on February 1 at 10pm. The mini-series also feature Harry Belafonte, Diahann Carroll, Paul Mooney, Spike Lee, Al Sharpton, DL Hughley and Nia Long, among others, all discussing the sensitive topic of the perception of Blacks in America.

Topics include the NBA dress code, bling and the longevity of rap music. Brady will engage the panelists in conversations often considered too politically incorrect for television.

"That's What I'm Talking About" will air on consecutive Wednesday nights through February 15 at 10pm, with the first hour-long episode titled "Greats, Dates and Debates," followed by "Movers, Shakers and Playmakers," and ending with "Riches, Pitches and Britches."
