    I lived in a dorm at Michigan State from 1988-1990. On Thursday nights, a trio of girls down the hall from me opened their door and invited anyone who wanted to watch A Different World to come in and find a seat on their floor. It brought together girls who grew up in Detroit who roomed together with girls who grew up in Grand Rapids that roomed together. It's hard to explain but it was like for that one night at least, the black students invited the non racist white students to come see a part of their culture and experiences. It's one of my best memories of dorm living.

    • @MCWAY1
      @MCWAY1 Před 6 měsíci

      That's just it. Dwayne didn't really "bust up" the wedding. When Whitley froze up after the preacher asked her to accept the vows and started seeing Dwayne's face everywhere, she was unconsciously giving Dwayne one last chance, one last opening, to get her back. As she sees Dwayne literally being dragged away from her, she can't let him slip away. Then, we get the "I DO!" And she runs to her true love.

Jasmine is talented and Lisa is interesting. Lisa Bonet has demonstrated that she has no interest in you knowing her just what you see and hear. This is one of the best Unsung. So happy that her upbringing brought her peace without the usual bad stuff celebrities run into. Jasmine is definitely someone to be proud of as a black woman. She's still awesome ♥️

      Us non actors have to put ourselves in her shoes, imagine auditioning for other roles because you're an actor and not being given a chance because you've been typecast. It's a double edged sword, directors want the best actor for the role/part but because the actor has nailed the character, they can't get cast in anything else!
