More blackface and whiteface… now on Tyra!

tyra showJust when you thought it was safe to watch TV again because Black.White. finally wrapped up its six-episode run, here comes Tyra with yet more undercover exposes! She gets in on the race-swapping game on the episode that’s coming out this Thursday. Here’s the description:

Are people treated differently based on the color of their skin? Tyra conducts a race experiment and sends two guests out into the world as members of a different race. Shelley, the controversial former guest who incensed viewers with her prejudice against black women, is back to participate in an experiment in which she switches her race from black to white. This experiment leads to a shocking breakthrough for Shelley and gets to the root of her hate. Plus, Tyra sends Angela Nissel, a biracial woman, TV writer and the author of “Mixed: My Life in Black and White,” out on dates with three men both as a black woman and as a white woman to see if they treat her differently. The men join Tyra and Angela in the studio and their comments reveal shocking truths about racism in today’s society.

By the way, I just interviewed Angela Nissel last night (which is how I heard about this show) so look out for that coming down the Addicted to Race pipeline very shortly! ;)
