The first episode is based on the Willie Lynch speech, even though the text itself has been debunked as a hoax, the anthology of short stories show how the Willie Lynch theory to devide and conquer is perpetuated in daily life.
The Willie Lynch speech based on theories already used by Philip II of Macedon in 400 BC entails in short: Pit the people you want to oppress against eachother females against males, different shades of skin colour, old against the young, any difference will do thus fostering distrust, animosity and even enmity so you can rule. In the Willie Lynch speech the oppressed are slaves.
The production and acting is good, but the short sighted narrow-minded story telling is as divisive as the text they want to expose (even though the text is fake) and have you thinking "Oh snap".
Didn't snap for me though...
