Anybody else watch this show that premiered earlier tonight...its on FX if you have cable.

Its about two families, one African American, the other White Caucasian, and they live together under one house, and they basically change "color" or "identities" for a certain period of time...its aim is to take a deeper look at racism today in society.

Yes I did watch part of it. Missed the first half but saw where the 2 men actually went into different settings and the store scene and etc etc this will be interesting.

I especially enjoyed the conversation after the 2 guys went out together as black men.

I have a strong suspicion alot of this should not only discuss and look at race but also socio-economic factors.

Moving to TV forum...

all this show is doing is teaching people to further stereotype people based on race. If people really feel that way, they shouldnt complaign when they are discriminated against regardless of who you are, because apparantly they all feel like they are in fact not equal.
