Black & White

In class today we watched the show about familes switching races to try and understand each others point of veiw. I cant rememeber his name, but the white dad could not see that there is still racism. Even going as far as telling him that he was just looking for it. I dont think that he will ever feel racism the way the experimented had hoped. I dont think that it matters what color your skin is, the "N" word should never be spoken by anyone, ever.

I too agree that the N word shouldn't be used at all. I also believe that Bruno, (the white dad) was chosen to do the show for a reason. I feel that both families were chosen for their views on racism. The more conflicting the views the more dramatic the show. The more drama the better the show.

Yeah I think both of the men were a little over the top with their views. Brian found racism wherever he went with whatever he did. I do think that he was looking for it and you WILL find what you're looking for.
Bruno didn't seem to think that there was racism at all. And yet, he couldn't wait until someone called him the "n" word? That confused/irritated me. Does he think there is racism or doesn't he?
