I don't think it'll happen. If it does, they would need some pretty good make up artists. To me, even these people on Black.White. don't look real. Bruno's makeup is so uneven. .

I'm surprised that no one here recognized the daughter. She's an actress. I think she's on this mini-show about kids and movies on "The Disney Channel".

*edit* Ah, found her:

The father, Bruce, is also an actor.

i finally watched last week's episode. the black family really sucks. couldn't they have found a family that DOESN'T have a 16 y.o. eighth grade drop out? ugh!

I did not know that. Wow! So what are they doing about it? No wonder he has the type of attitude he has. He is not interested at all. How can he learn from this, if he is not even in school learning?

Okay seriously I want to slap Renee and Brian. Right now, they are acting as if this is their first real attempt to parent their son. Brian is acting passive agressive as all hell whereas Renee, with the seriously faulty hair line, is on his azz. Belatedly.

Why does your KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL at the 8th grade son even have $150? If I had a son who had been kicked out of school and could not be enrolled again until he was 18, he would NOT be wearing Ecko!!! He would be wearing SHMEDIUM white tees from Wal Mart with Wrangler jeans hugging his azz. He would have Keds and ProWings adorning his feet. WE would most assuredly not be on a TV show. No wonder he can miss 6 weeks of school. He's missed it way longer than that.

No, Renee, he does not think about consequences becuase you all never taught and reinforced consequences alllllllll his life. :rolleyes:


And Rose, WOW, that she used to be a Movie Surfer.

Nick, seriously you are a waste.of.the.orgasm. it took to create you. You were kicked out of the 6th and the 8th grade. You don't know why your "best friend" carried a knife.

Deanna, your makeup is EXTREMELY MESSED up. Your weave is too. Deanna, seriously STFU!!! Something about their exchange in Deanna's apartment bothers me.

Leimert Park segment was extremely interesting but Bruno is still aloof. Carmen , this was your turning point, huh?

Next week's episode :( :mad: :(

CLASSIC! I'll have to use that and don't worry, you'll be properly credited.

i definitely think that exchange between deanna and carmen was fake. also, i meant to point this out, but on the episode where rose "comes out," there was a bigger chick in the poetry class who looked just like rose's skin tone. since we know that rose's makeup doesn't look even kinda real, i think they planted somebody to authenticate her look

I am sure you will get great mileage out of it. I make up such great colloquialisms. :D

Deanna was way too calm. First, why you let some random white woman all the way in your house and sit on your couch without knowing who it was? WTH?

I was just on IMDB and it appears that Nick is Nicholas Sparks II. So is Brian really Nicholas Brian Sparks I? They only credit Nick the 16 year old who is having a tough time getting out of middle school and Bruno. :confused:

I really had high hopes for this show but finding out that Rose is a former Movie Surfer, Bruno is also an actor from MacGyver, Nick is a small scale thug in the making, this show has lost its authenticity with me. But I'll continue to watch to see if Bruno learns anything.

Dear Ice Cube,

If you decide to do this "experiment" again, here are a few suggestions:

• have them live in Alabama, not California
• better makeup for the Black to White family
• The White woman who becomes Black, please don't do the mangy, low cut afro
• Have these people do some reading first because Carmen's reply regarding Madame CJ Walker and the Panther was maddening
• Have Tyra Banks create the challenges.

All the best on your future endeavors,
:cool:

Especially since I don't have $150, and I work.

I initially thought something was odd about her and I could not figure it out. Of course we can see through that stuff and figure when something is not quite right. That is what I meant in a previous statement about not "planting" folks outside of the show in the future. I originally thought she may have been a guy in drag.

I am soooo glad that I read this thread. I was fearing that I was the only one that had these thoughts about this show. WHO did the casting? Did ANYONE think that it was maybe a bad idea to have a teenage son on the show that can not form a complete sentence? Why are his parents so concerned with him knowing that there is racism in the world? I think there are much more important things to teach him. Instead of parading around in a TV show, they should of been trying to find a school for him to attend.

And another thing... I don't buy that he got kicked out of school for bringing a knife ONE TIME. That doesn't make sense. I know different schools have different rules, but I know of people who brought GUNS to school and they graduated on time. No one will ever make me believe that they couldn't find an alternative school to send him if education is truly important to them.

This show makes me sick... but I can't stop watching it... I think I like to torture myself :(

The etiquette class' reaction and schooling Nick is irritating me.

I just watched this for the first time the other day and caught last nights episode.

It seems that Rose gets it but Bruno doesn't. I wanted to hit him over the head with cast iron skillet.

Those youth were getting a little too happy with the N word and I couldn't believe Nick said he didn't care. :( :confused:


I agree, especially with the very first.

This show has my head spinning. I don't think I can take another episode. What was with Bruno's 'video'? I really don't think I'm going to see this all the way out to the end of the season. Why is the black family shocked that their son is clueless of his history? They wait until he's 16 to give him his first black history lesson? I'm wondering can this get any worse or any more unbelievable? I'm still dazed and confused from last week's episode. Is it me or is everyone revealing that they have on make up? Who's going to be next? Seriously though I thought those kids in the class were going to say they knew he was black. Because Lord knows he does not look white. LOL

Hello. I've been reading some of the various posts on various threads and decided to register today.

I just started watching the show and I am a bit confused. I feel like I should have been watching from the beginning. I was so disgusted with the son "giving permission" to those white kids to say the n word. I thought it was deplorable. Whether you're in touch with your heritage or not, it just seems like you would know that was not okay. I feel like his parents should be more disappointed in themselves than in him because clearly they missed the boat on teaching him respect for himself and respect for his people.:( :(
