However, Dick discovers the Internet and likes it so much he decides to perform his Lectures on-line via a web-cam from his home.

Reviewed 7th November 2000
Dick (John Lithgow - Twilight Zone: The Movie ) learns about the Black Support meetings, and thinks it is like Weight Watchers. He and the family attend a White Power rally, and get quite a shock. Then Dick learns about human history and gets a case of white guilt. The others write a poem about the evils of racism, and enter a competition in the local library. The competition is for under-10s, but that does not bother them.
The disturbing aspect of this is when Dick asks his African-American friend if her meeting involved anyone preaching hatred. Well, she obviously was not at a Louis Farakhan rally!
