Although I give CNN credit for taking on race, a topic journalism is notoriously bad at exploring, I wasn't that impressed with the results of Soledad O'Brien's reporting in "Black in America," parts one or two.

Still, I went in with an open-mind when I got the screener for "Latino in America" (tonight and Thursday at 9).

In fact, I got excited when I read the synopsis of the first two-hour report.
