   Ken Burns generates an interesting dilemma.

   He documents how Blacks produced great achievements in Music and sports . . . in the midst of segregation.

   But he (implicitly) condemns segregation.

   Well . . . are Blacks better off without segregation (?)

   The answer to that . . . is not at all obvious to me (as it seems to be to Mr. Burns).

   Are Blacks . . .only a darker version of White folks (?)

   Not obvious to me . . . at all.
