It's about time that the CW aired a show that relates to the black community, other than just airing shows like Gossip Girls, Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill...omg It's refreshing to see a show about black heroism, black family values and black romance, its long overdue. There is absolutely no racist ideology in this show, and for anyone to call this show racist after only three episodes that deals with a principal promoting a message of education for black students and combating gang violence from the community, you are either a racist or you don't anything about the black community. This show is somewhat very true to life in the African-American school system. I would know because I teach in a predominantly black high school and truth be told there are some students who I would love to give a black lightning award to for their everyday heroism against the it struggle of fighting the drugs dealers, bullying, the neighborhood shootings making it to class and earning that A&B grade to graduate and become a success story in life. As an educator, Black lighting is refreshing, it sends a positive to black youths so kudos to CW for giving this show a chance. I'm gonna wait till the season is over to make another full review about the series. But to all you reviewers that are trying to paint this show as bias, I say SHAME ON YOU. I find it very suspicious that you access racism after only three episodes, that have no racist premise whatsoever. Black lightning is kinda cheesy, but overall good and never bias. Give it go.
