Black. White. is an American reality television series that aired on FX. The series premiered on March 8, 2006, and supposedly documented two voluntary families of three, one white, and the other black, in which through studio-quality 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 stereotypes. Despite the show giving off the impression all of the families were genuine, only the African-American Sparks family were an actual family. The Caucasian, "Wurgel" family, were not a legitimate family, and they were all actors. JAG actor, Bruno Marcotulli, portrays the father, Bruno "Wurgel". Marcotulli's then girlfriend, Casting Director Carmen Wurgel (who confusingly retained her actual surname for the program, and was also the basis of the illegitimate family surname for the program), portrays the mother, Carmen "Wurgel." Disney Channel actress Rose Bloomfield (most commonly seen in the Disney Channel Movie Surfers segments, where Disney Channel personalities go behind the scenes during film productions) in which she had never met, or knew Marcotulli or Wurgel before production, portrays the daughter, Rose "Wurgel." 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. (en) |
