A question for you cinéphiles out there...


Movies


Wasn't there a movie made a few years ago in which they reversed the roles of white and black people in it... I think the story was about a white family living in a mostly black America, where the TV news folks were black, the rich celeberties were black, even the dolls and action figures in the stores were black. It was a complete role-reversal if you will... To show the rediculousness of it all.

I'm trying to find the title of the film but can't come up with anything on the net. (Did I imagine this film? lol)

I'm doing a research for work, on racisme and stereotypes.

White Man's Burden starring John Travolta.


That one's not ringing a bell, unfortunately, but I'd also like to suggest that "Undercover Brother" might be helpful for your research -- and it's actually pretty funny to boot.
Chris Rock also has some pretty insightful comedy.

Would have made a great sci fi show.
