Ice Cube’s BLACK. WHITE.
FX is going to air a new reality show March 8th at 10pm featuring two families, one white, one black, living together in a house for 6 weeks. The twist is, through the magic of makeup wizardry, the families will be transformed from one race to another. The white people become black, the black people become white, and they go out into the world to experience life through the other race’s eyes.
Ice Cube says that most people, when they think of racism, think of Klansmen and Black Panthers, and that racism exists in much more subtle ways. The show’s aim is to expose the not-so-blatant racism that occurs everywhere, many times without people realizing it.
More information can be found at the show’s site here.
