'''''Black. White.''''' is an American [[reality television]] series that aired on [[FX (TV channel)|FX]]. The series premiered on March 8, 2006, and supposedly documented two voluntary families of three, one [[White (people)|white]], and the other [[Black (people)|black]], in which through studio-quality [[Cosmetics|make-up]], the two families would give off a facade appearance, of portraying a race that isn't their own, for social experiment purposes. It garnered controversy for its subject matter and perceived reinforcement of [[racial stereotype]]s.
==The Episodes==
===Episode 01===
Two families - one white and one black - come together under one roof in Los Angeles as they prepare to go out in the world as the other race. The Wurgels (Bruno, Carmen, and daughter Rose) are a white liberal family from California, and the Sparks (Brian, Renee, and son Nick) are a middle class black family from Georgia. Brian gains access to white culture when he lands a job as a bartender while in white make-up.


The show was produced and created by [[Ice Cube]] and [[R. J. Cutler]]. The series' theme song was "Race Card", performed by Ice Cube and produced by [[Warren G]]. The series ran for five weeks ending with a double episode finale.
===Episode 02===
A bitter argument erupts between Renee and Carmen over the use of racially charged language. Rose is torn over revealing her true "color" to her new friends in the poetry group or maintaining her cover for the sake of the project.


===Episode 03===
==Reception==
The show received mixed responses. Melanie McFarland of the ''[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]'' stated, "No matter what conclusion you come to after watching FX's six-episode reality series <nowiki>'</nowiki>''Black. White''.' you should be grateful for the care producers RJ Cutler and David Maldonado took in executing it."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.seattlepi.com/ae/tv/article/On-TV-Black-White-is-uncomfortable-1197650.php#ixzz1jHpwtNJN |title=On TV: 'Black.

The Wurgels and Sparks lock horns over language and behavior. As the friction builds between Carmen and Renee, Carmen turns to an outsider for insight into the black experience. Bruno and Carmen encounter hostility in an all-black neighborhood, and Nick's fascination with the gangster lifestyle raises concerns for Brian and Renee.


The show also received criticism from major media outlets. Robert Bianco of ''[[USA Today]]'' wrote:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/television/reviews/2006-03-07-black-white_x.htm |title='Black. White.' Oh, whatever. |newspaper=USA Today |first=Robert |last=Bianco |date=3 July 2006 |accessdate=7 August 2013}}</ref>
==Criticism==


<blockquote>"The show is being sold on the race-switch trick, but tonight's premiere is built around a far more mundane stunt: putting people you know won't get along into close-quarter situations designed to exacerbate the inevitable conflicts. If you think there's any chance that the two men, Brian and Bruno, weren't cast specifically to clash, or that the producers aren't playing up every conflict, you've never seen a reality show."</blockquote>
The structure of the show is being criticized for a number of reasons:


<blockquote>"''Black. White.'' is based on two false premises, one more pernicious than the other: that you can understand someone of a different race simply by putting on makeup, and that you need that kind of understanding in order to treat people as the law and morality require."</blockquote>
*Both families are supposed to be representative of their respective races. Whatever the white family says or does is supposed to be the "white" way and whatever the black family says or does is supposed to be the "black" way. Furthermore, whatever each family claims about their race is taken to be true of all members of that race. This model fails to take into account differences among individuals. Whatever one family (or an individual within the family) does or says varies significantly from family to family (and from person to person). And whatever claim they make about their race is nothing more than their own opinion and not true of all (or even a majority) of the population.


Lee Siegel of ''[[The New Republic]]'' commented:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w060313&s=siegel031606 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010123847/https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=w060313&s=siegel031606 |archivedate=10 October 2007 |title=Race Coarse |newspaper=The New Republic |accessdate=7 August 2013}}</ref>
*Both families must live with each other and any conflict that arises between them is automatically assumed to be on racial grounds. As with the previous criticism, this model fails to take into account differences among individuals. Not all people between racial groups or within racial groups will be able to live successfully with one another. These conflicts are caused by simple differences in lifestyle that vary from individual to individual.


<blockquote>"<nowiki>'</nowiki>''Black. White.''<nowiki>'</nowiki> is not a provocative study in secret prejudice, followed by growth and awakening. It's a reinforcement of the stereotypes the show claims it wants to examine and expose."</blockquote>
*The show fails to point out the effect of extraneous factors on human behavior, such as the fact that a camera crew will sometimes follow the families around as they "experience" being a member of the other race. Being filmed tends to cause people to act differently, and so it could be with the people they encounter. This makes any judgment of those people's level of racism (or lack thereof) difficult to ascertain.


==Episodes==
*While the show doesn't claim to be scientific, they explicitly lack control experiments. As individuals "experience" being a member of the other race, they don't first go out being a member of their original race. So if a participant is treated well or bad as a member of another race, they have no basis for comparison of what they would have experienced as a member of their original race.

*The show is edited only to show contention between the races. While there are certainly time constraints on how much can be aired per episode, the viewer doesn't see the bulk of what actually happens. For example, in the first episode when Brian is a bartender we are shown a segment of a white man making a racist rant about how the neighborhood is nice and quiet because it is majority white. We are not shown any other interaction with customers for the many hours Brian is there. There could be many more moments of non-racist customers that represent the majority of the population.

*"Tonight, for example, Brian buys a pair of shoes while in his white makeup and insists he was treated better because of his TV-created 'race.' The different treatment accorded black and white shoppers is a serious issue, one that has been the subject of excellent undercover work by journalists. But you can't learn anything of import from one man's single experience, particularly when we have no idea how he behaved before or if he's even being honest about his history. Isn't it possible he was treated differently because he acted differently — something he himself acknowledges?"

*"You'll learn, for instance, that whites are more curious than black people. Black people 'roll' back and forth when they walk. Slightly. Also, blacks don't have such great posture. They 'slouch' when they sit. Since nearly all these quaint, unflattering notions of racial habits come from the very member of the race that comes off unflaterringly--i.e., a black person--there is no subtle revelation of prejudice at these dinner-table conversations. Rather, you get tired, old racial stereotypes, which are given a new twist and made authoritative by being validated by that member of the stereotyped race itself."
