Black. White.

Anyone check this show out? It premiered last night. It is a reality show that paints a white family black and vice versa. They actually do a pretty good job with the makeup. So far the white parents are complete idiots, but their daughter is actually quite insightful and intelligent. (That is, until she read a poem from her iBook at a slam poetry class.)

Looks to be a very interesting series. They have already dealt with race in a MUCH more intelligent and throught provoking way than a very recent Oscar-winner that I thought was terrible

Any thoughts?

Well then.

They are rerunning it tonight at 12 am, and tomorrow at 11pm. Check it out!

I watched some of it Wednesday night. The makeup was better than I expected it to be. I got the impression the father in the white family wants to take it upon himself that racism practically does not exist, or at minimum black people go looking for racism where it does not exist - sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. I thought the expressions on the faces of the black family were priceless when the white father practically said that he hopes someone refers to him with the "N" word so that he can show how to diffuse the situation.

I'm waiting for "White. Asian."
