From G’s to Gents is getting so racially complicated that the only person who can effectively speak to the convoluted racial politics of this show is Cornel West, although I’m sure his good friend Tavis Smiley could put together an interesting op ed as well. Personally, I’m so overwhelmed by the push and pull of the show’s conflicting motivations, that I’m not even going to think about it anymore. Whether or not that’s an irresponsible “not part of the solution” type attitude to take, I can say this: racism and echoes of colonialism aside, last night’s episode was the best yet by a million.

This week, the G’s are going to learn about fine dining and table manners.
