The Tuskegee Airmen

"Lt. Col. Benjamin O. Davis: How do I feel about my country? And how does my country...feel about me? Are we only to be Americans when the mood suits you? A fair and impartial opportunity is all we ask. Nothing that you yourselves wouldn't demand."
Has it been so long that we've forgotten the original PBS version of The Tuskegee Airmen? Whatever its reason for the made-for-tv status, the 1995 film turned out to be the African American equivalent of A Few Good Men vis-a-vis casting and overall quality. So it pains me to see a preview for a big screen remake of what looks to be the Drumline/Pearl Harbor bastard remake of the original with a George Lucas stamp on it, Red Tails. We aren't talking the American Graffiti George Lucas, rather the Jar Jar Binks swimming in a pool of gold George Lucas.
