I just saw the first episode of this show, and it was terrific. W. Kamau Bell, a black comedian, describes the premise as “A black guy goes places in America where he probably shouldn’t”. In the first episode we visited a handful of KKK chapters and spoke with Klansmen and even witnessed a cross burning.

Very funny as well as poignant. Anyone else seen it?

Yes. I’ve gotta admit, I wouldn’t have had the guts to visit the KKK. I’m Jewish and gay, and that’s bad enough in their eyes. But no way, if I were black. The cross-burning scene was horrific.
