Was blown away by this homecoming reunion. A lot of heavy and necessary discussions. What a great collection of human beings. Was hoping Kelley would open up since she was quiet and I loved her in the original and was bummed she checked out. Wait for her reveal - just lovely.

First and foremost, season 1 has always been special and the reunion was no exception. Coincidentally Becky showed up as Karen - a spoiled and entitled woman above constructive criticism and being open to an experience not hers. Her storming out like a spiked child only made it all worse. Her response, not an uncommon one from "progressive whites" who don't feel they are a part of a VERY large, deeply ingrained, problem; turned and made Kevin feel bad/question his POV. Black Americans, who were brought here as commerce, laws created to belittle and dehumanize, systems created to keep them underfoot, have NO reason to feel bad about speaking this truth where whites feel uncomfortable. Discomfort of a conversation does not trump lives being taken whether by cop, jail, or miseducation.

I was 14 years old when season 1 aired and watching clips in the reunion from the original show is now making me realize Kevin's impact on my youth and way of thinking about the progress and constant overachievements of those slave descendants who have made countless and invaluable impacts on this country that continues to disregard them and dehumanize them. When learning American history in school, the stories of Blacks never seemed to quite add up. Kevin validated those feelings and questions - inspiring to dig deeper and learn more. Thank you Kevin Powell and MTV for giving him a platform ... even if it was a mistake.

2nd season was filed with woke mob mentality. David is definitely unlikable, but that doesn't mean he doesn't make sense. He avoided a BLM conversation and was persecuted for not being black enough. Then Tami called her husband to assault David. The scared white people on the show were obviously too scared to speak up. Probably scared of cancel culture. Either way, Tami started out annoying and it only progressed throughout the season. She wanted it all about her and her politics. I hope the 3rd season will be much better.

Season 2, omg what a bunch of a-holes. They're all bullies in geriatric form. Tami's the worst. Unbelievable she chastised David for pulling some covers from her 30 years ago (which Im sorry, but it sure looked like a joke that EVERYONE was laughing about at the time) and then calls her husband to come beat him up over him not agreeing with her BLM racial agenda. His racial ideals were miles ahead of any of them, wanting to put race in the past, which is exactly what needs to happen for this country to find any kind of unity. Beth S is so condescending, constantly talking about 'fixing' him and his 'self-destruction'. I didn't see a problem with him other than being a little annoying and antagonistic at times. He got drunk 1 time and everyone is screaming alcoholic. People who are alcoholics dont have loving supportive relationships with their kids like he has. The rest of the cast are just a bunch of sheep. All of these people, aside from David, should be ashamed of themselves.
