Many of the comments on the program from those who disagreed with the theory, it seemed to me, were based on gut reaction, rather than on a dispassionate consideration of the "facts" as given, such as they were.

Of the sort that goes, "the whites robbed us of everything; homeland, culture, language, freedom, dignity, and now they are claiming the last thing that truly identifies us: gospel singing".

"But the man propounding the theory is himself black"?                                                            

"It wouldn't be the first time that a friendly black has been used to promote white sumremacy"                                          

The Prof was portrayed by one young black English guy as a virtual Uncle Tom.

The (English black) program presenter tiptoed around this issue, but I still thought he handled a difficult subject, aimed at a general audience, very well.
