Black Americans have shed blood in every American war since the Revolution. This country, even the very Capitol building in which today’s legislators now demand to see the birth certificate of the first black president, was built on the sweat and sinew of slaves.

Today, while watching an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 (It was the one where Brenda decides to go to college back east and there was a wild going away party at a beach house and David was lusting to take Donna’s virginity. Sorry, I’ll stop), I remembered that there are plans to reanimate this testament to the power of Aaron Spelling, excellent casting of spitfire Shannen Doherty and that elusive yet necessary zeitgeist mojo that made the original a trend factory.
