I slept through most of it. But I did see that the black fatehr and white father were going at it. Its exactly what I said 2 days ago. The white father would seem extra racist and the black father would seem extremist. Adio, you are right, the white daughter does seem to be getting a good expirience, but also seems like she is....taking it a lil too far, just a lil bit.

i don't think she's takin it too far, but she IS learnin alot though

Is it just me in thinking the black dude is a POS and the white dude knows what's up? The white dude said exactly what I was thinking, He knows there's racism but when your taking up the whole sidewalk and someone moves out of your way to go around you, It's not racist, there just getting the fuck outta your way.
The black dude was like " you see that... She moved outta our way" the white dude was like "ofcourse they did we were taking up the whole sidewalk." It seems to me that the black guy WANTS racism to make him feel suppresed.

I also agree with the white guy about, It's how you present yourself. If your outgoing and polite you'll be treated accordingly, nvrmind your color. And if you walk around with a chip on your shoulder like your mad at life and hate people than you'll get treated like a punk.

The white dude went into a clothing store and was helped by an employee, He said it was a pleasant experience, No different than when he was white. The black dude says "He came over quick not to help you, But to size you up."

Is it just me or do you think the black dude is looking for racism in a place, for the most part, It doesnt exist. I realize it DOES exist. But c'mon guys, Things have changed....[/QUOTE]

you're whole post is right. the black dude is lookin for it and it does exist, but the show is also teachin about perceptions too.

Im gonan try to find it.

But im not sure I understand exactly what you mean when you say the familes have to rely on stereotypes? You mean the way they have to act? Or do you mean what they are looking for?

they way they have to act. i guess for them to get the authentic experience, they may have to resort to relying on stereotypes so they can "act white/black"

Thats what I thought you meant, and I see what you are saying. It will have an affect on the outcome, depending on how much each of them rely on the stereotypes. I missed a lot of the show last night, but ill see the next few and be able to tell.
