Colin in Black & White

I'm wondering why this series was rated so low, I can only surmise it has been rated by individuals who may take offence to the subject matter.

This is an eye opener of a show

The biographical nature makes it even more endearing to view. Acting is superb and if you're not easily offended by a lot racial references then this is for you.

An interesting look at Colin's teenage years at high school and his struggle with racism whilst pursuing his dream of becoming a quarter back. I can see some of the themes bought up here have offended people but I personally didn't feel offended.

Let's get one thing straight from the start: when Colin took the knee it triggered the very worst of America as well as the very best. And that's what you'll see reflected in the reviews here on IMDB.

I am sure that many of the scenes in this short series will spark anger. To many, this will feel like 6 episodes of whining and playing the race card.

But for many more people, this will be an inspiring story. A lesson in perseverance, in being yourself and in standing up, or taking a knee, for what you believe in.

To everyone else, the people who can't get past their outrage and anger, all I have to say is this: please post your 1 star reviews, slam Colin for his lecturing, reaffirm that America is great and that this is a load of crap. The more you do that, the more right you make him, the better this series is, and the more necessary it becomes that people watch it.

It's pretty obvious who the people giving the 1 star reviews are. Obviously they have a hard time reading statistics and struggle with any form of empathy. I saw a review here that read "he divided a nation" - sure. That right there tells you more than you need to know. Colin is an extremely talented player who wanted to do the right thing. A role model for many.

This was wonderfully done, but it will definitely trigger some. Give it a chance, watch it with an open mind, and don't let the negative reviews dissuade you. It honestly shows what a lot of Americans/ppl think and act like towards others who are different due to their fear or ignorance-- which I'm sure has been witnessed by many. I'm sure as you read some of the reviews and see the ratings, the aforementioned ppl will show you who they are.
