I'm posting this because it showcases multiple layers of Discrimination that is one-sided. For anyone who's been following along on my Journal, I complain a lot about my African-American Business Associate and some of the business practices that he's engaged in.
I keep saying that my complaints are NOT racially motivated. It's based off of actions he's taken and where he has flat out lied to me, covered up things, and changed information to make it look like something else.
However, any smart person knows that you don't go badtalking Black People if you value the quality of your Life or if you'd like to remain with the Living. You don't go around speaking ill of any black person unless you want to end up dead.
This comes back to why
I keep saying my job sucks and the assignment that was given to me. I had the exact same thing happen to me when
Isabella freaked out and branded me as a Stalker. Way before any of this Psychic Phenomenon manifested itself, she was the one who overreacted and misinterpreted my E-mails.
This whole mess started 2/17/2004 when I sent her E-mail telling her that she should be careful because she accidentally gave me her Home Address. I told her that it's not a good idea because someone may figure it out and know where you live and stalk her.
Do you know what that FLAKY woman DID? She got this twisted idea that I was refering to me and as if --I-- was going to be hanging around her place stalking her. I live in Los Angeles. She's 300 miles away in San Diego.
Um...Hello? Even if I was that creepy, I'm too much of a cheapskate to be communiting from L.A. and back to stalk a woman. Do you know how much Gas Prices are? Why the Hell would I want to sit around outside some woman's apartment?
I know what it's like to be stalked and followed. Do you know when I got screwed over by a WHITE person on a film production, I had a whole bunch of PISSED OFF Film Crew that wanted their paychecks. They were NOT happy.
They followed me to my own personal home, which was in a gated community outside my door. This is the SHIT I had to put with thanks to a WHITE person. A white person named CHRISTopher. Christohper P. That would be P for the Aquarian Male like Davis who is P and a Black Person.
That's why in the whole PERVERTED circle of things, it was a WHITE person, BLACK person, and RELIGION that you can thank for that shit:
- It was a WHITE person who thought he knew the situation, but didn't and got everyone else pissed off fanning the flames of discontent when he had NO FUCKING CLUE about what the Film Production Budget was and because he was an ASSISTANT Director it was none of his business anyway
- It was a BLACK person who didn't prepare and was unable to handle the time constraints
- It was Religion that was misguided even if the intentions were good. It was still a FUCK-UP
That White person wouldn't have had to have been called in if the Indonesian Director who was fresh out of college wasn't so SPINELESS. Davis would never have hired Chris if he knew that she could handle it on her own. However, she couldn't.
We would never have had to call in that college graduate Indonesian Directori if the original Writers who were CANADIANS had gone with the first choice Rosie who was the EXPERIENCED Indonesian Director.
However, because they didn't like her, they didn't want to use her. Then with a limited deadline, my company got called in. Then they dangled the bait of multiple productions if we could keep the production alive.
I never got paid on that. That's why when people look at my finances and see a $45,000 debt, that was thanks to a WHITE person who went over my head and obtained the phone numbers of top level administration to go over me. He tried to go to the writers who didn't budget. However, when that White Person couldn't get through to the writers, he went ABOVE the writers to Yoen K. and Netfilm. YK = Male(Y) Aquarius).
Notice how Davis is a Black and a Male Aquarius :P.
Yoen K. of Netflim NE/T-Film got his money from TV 7 Indonesia and he was hoarding and skimming prophets. TV 7 = Female(T) Sun(V) God(7)
I'd get these film crew people harassing me about how they didn't get paid. I didn't get paid either. In fact, I lost the most out of that. Even Davis didn't feel the brunt of that. All the Bank Accounts were written in my name. Not his.
Black Slave Owners Sold Black Slaves
That's why on another level all the Blacks punishing the White people complaining about Discrimination is overrated.
I said 2/16/2006 that it was BLACK Slave Owners that sold BLACK Slaves to the White Traders.
When they sold them over, the Black Slave Owners profited off it and handed them over saying, "Here you go! They're our slaves and they'll work for you"
The White Traders back then said, "Okay!" There was no contract. NO SPECIFICS on how to treat them. So the White People just did whatever they wanted. It was all left up in the air:
- "Build this"
- "Plant that"
- "Serve me food"
- "Tend the farm"
There was never any terms or an limits placed. So when Black Slaves had children, those Children were automatically drafted into Slavery. NO CONTRACT specifying Limitations.
That's why I know Slavery VERY intimately. Davis does the same thing. He'd have me driving him all over the place. Davis was asking me today that if I get paid $5,000, would it release the car and title so that I could be his personal driver again.
I said I'd have to ask my family. You don't know how much of a nightmare it was being his personal driver. He SUCKS at giving directions. He'll be talking on the phone and then ONE SECOND before the turn, he'll say, "Turn here."
I'll be in the RIGHT LANE and he'll tell me me just before to make a LEFT TURN.
I hated being his friggin' Driver. He thinks it's funny, but that man added 60,000 miles onto my car in less than a year and a half. I was commuting from San Diego to Los Angeles to pick his ass up and chauffeur him to his appointments.
I got into TWO fender benders with my car because he doesn't want to be in an office. So it means we have to go all over Los Angeles dodging L.A.Traffic. In my Car.
Then he PAWNED my car for $3,200 in June 2005, which he wasn't able to bail out as promised. My AUNT had to bail it out and I lost the Deed to the Car.
And Davis has the GALL to LECTURE ME on how I shouldn't be living with a family who tries to control me. This was money borrowed that went to HIM. When I would tell him I don't want to borrow from my family, he'd give me a GUILT TRIP.
- "Well you know, these debts are just going to keep pilng up. I'm the one who's doing all the work and making all the calls so I feel justified in having you ask your family for money"
- This was two years ago when I had my hands full going through "Psychic Boot Camp" where I was getting shoved around in the Psychic Plane having to run through the maze
That's why Davis FUCKED UP with the
$15,000 Loan that my mom got from a credit card. He lied about what he did with the money to both Dave Summers and me. He made Dave think I was the fuck-up who wasn't able to come up with the money.
Uh...NEWSFLASH: When you borrow money from your family, what else do you expect when you borrow money?
He has the nerve to LECTURE ME about how my family treats me when it was him who borrowed the money. I never wanted to borrow money in the first place, but he kept on pushing the issue.
One reason why Davis is a bonehead is because he TAUGHT me all of his Tactics that he uses on people. That's why I know when he tries using that SHIT on me. He thinks that $5,000 is going to get the car out when he's got three years worth of accumulated debts.
He can't even stay afloat and pay for his own rent. He was telling me on the phone how he's got a new $1,500. I have no idea where he picks up all this debt. He's a financial nightmare. Nice guy on a personal level, but he's SCARY in business.
That's why I dare any Black Individual to accuse me of being Racist when I show them all the financial records. I don't have anything against Black People. I do have a problem with Black People accusing me of being Racist when it's untrue and one of their own has been exploiting individuals intentionally or unintentionally.
Black People are Just Like Women
Black People are just like Women:
- Women will always chew your ass out about Female Equality, but they gloss over the perks they enjoy with being a Female
- Blacks will always be up in arms about how they're being oppressed, but they have their own power that they take advantage of that Whites don't have
That's why the Planet gave me the Title of B/L.A.-CK Fe-Male and the Virgin Mother and Pa/IR as the Father so that I'm the PARENT and outrank people. The reason why I was especially made a Virgin AND a Gemini born in 1975 in Washington State is so that even if people with the initials "IR" try to exploit the Programming Language, I overrule them as a Gemini Sun Sign.
The Planet filled in all the Loopholes so that I'll always edge out people when it comes to certain Technicalities and Bylaws. People will always try to exploit the Law. I already ahd to put up with this two years ago.
The Planet knew the Black Community would be the most difficult to deal with so that's why Davis was intentionally designed to make so many mistakes that it would be hard for the Black Community to put a Spin on the information.
On top of that I could rely on the White Community and other Non-Blacik Special Interest Groups to examine the information as well to make sure that it's on the up and up. That's why Davis was tricked into leaving a paper trail of debts that aren't just related to me. When you examine all of Davis' Financial History, you'll see all these traffic violations and bank overdrafts.
It explicitly shows that after my Bank Accounts went into overdraft and Davis was REMOVED and forced to set up his own Bank Accounts, my Bank Accounts suddenly cleared up to where I haven't had an overdraft since. Davis, on the other hand, has been getting multiple overdrafts.
The Planet set it up where Davis would eventually be flushed out of hiding and forced to show a track record because he pays for everything in cash. He rarely leaves any track record. That's why he doesn't like dealing with Banks.
That's why it's called a Ban/K = Ban Aquarius(K).
Banks are designed to keep track of everything.
Indonesian Project
That's why if people think they can BULLSHIT ME thinking I'm making this shit up, you can check the Newspapers regarding the Indonesian Project. It was all over the Indonesian Press Circuit of the BULLSHIT. The team Davis and I put together mutinied under Chris P.
Everyone was given specific name tags without their Knowledge when they pulled all that crap.
The rights to the Script belong to me and he broke 3 counts of Coypright Infringement. On top of that, those actors were riding on MY Work VISAs. So I got screwed over by WHITE person. However, I'm not too concerned because I take grim pleasure knowing that Chris P.'s new "business associate" is named LEO. That would be LEO the 5th Sign.
I've gotten VERY good at shifting around events and the Psychic Realm as well as knowing how to use it to my advantage. I may not know where you live or what your real name is, but I can use the Subconscious Realm to reach out and connect with somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows YOU.
A name is just a name. The fact of the matter is that everyone has a Branwave DNA Serial Number that gets tagged to them, which is how you can keep track of people. Everyone gets registered when they're put on this Planet. You may have official documents and papers in the World of Men, but the Planet keeps its own records.
Just as you can do a Google Search of all Host Servers connected on the Internet to pull up information on someone, you can pull up information on all the Subconscious Minds as Organic Host Servers that will retrieve data.
God Corporation Functions Just Like the Mafia
The God Corporation functions just like the Mafia:
- MA/F-IA = Mother(Ma) Bad(F) I o' WA(WA).
- M(AF)IA = M(16)IA = M(P)IA = Military Police(MP) I o' WA.
- M = Scorpio with the poison stinger
That's why although people may disagree, I happen to like the Mafia and Organized Crime:
- C/RI-M.E. = Dominant(C) 5/29(RI/Rhode Island) Mother Earth(M.E.)
- That's why I'm the Rodfather or the Godfather :P
- That's why there's some hint that Frank Sinatra (FS = Bad Superman) knew something about the Kennedy Assassination
Even if it's untrue, it's talking about what was going on behind the scenes. It's more about the Rumor Mill and Spy Network.
For example:
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher:
- Demi Moore has the Initials DM = (4)(13)
- 413 = Opposite of 314
- 314 = Blue
- 413 = Non-Blue = Red
- Bruce Willis = BW = (2)(23) = 223 = (22)(3) = Sun(V) Earth(3)
- Ashton Kutcher = AK = Alaska
- Jessica Jaymes is Alaska
- Demi Moore is born 11/11 in Roswell and Areia 51.
- I'm born in Washington State inducted 11/11 and Luck of the IR is H(51 = 3 x 17)
Do you know why Bruce Willis has remained supportive of Demi Moore? It's because he's a hybrid of me and Bliss/Isabella:
- On one Level, Demi Moore is Isabella born 11/11, Ashton Kutcher is Bliss, and I'm Bruce Willis as the Gemini(B/2) Final(W)
- On another Level, I'm Demi Moore (Isabelo/Isabella) and Jessica Jaymes is Ashton Kutcher(Alaska), and Bruce Willis is Subconscious Isabella/Bliss who understood why I separated from them because they were unable to wake up their Conscious Minds
That's why a lot of FUCKED-UP Celebrity Relationships are because of the CRAP that's happening tied into me. Whatever happens to me gets projected and mimicked around the World. It's the most pronounced or visible in Celebrity Circles because they have the Financial Capability.
"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle"
That's why in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," you see Demi Moore (Isabella) as Madison Lee kill Bruce Willis as one of the Halo Guardians. Robert Patrick was the corrupt agent working with Madison Lee.
However, you're seeing Duality because when you pull the storyline inside out, I'm Madison Lee as the Villain who uses the "Bedside Astrologer" and the "one who set Charlie's VCR."
When you see Cameron Diaz defeat Madison Lee and tell Madison Lee to "Go to Hell" and Demi Moore falls through the shaft in a blaze of fire, that was Bliss as Cameron Diaz because she's Princess Fiona (Apple) in "Shrek." I said Bliss uses a Mac.
So while everybody thinks that Madison Lee was the Evil person and that Charlie is the Good Guy, it's all a matter of perspective. That's why you see Madison Lee in tears just before she shoots the Speaker Phone saying that she wasn't just Good, she was Great.
Charlie says that Madison went off on her own disobeying orders and by the time the team retrieved her, her body was bruised and battered. That was a variation of me that got beaten up and left for dead. That's why you see the "
6 Million Dollar Man," "
Bionic Woman," and "
Knight Rider" Prophecies where the Hero was badly hurt and hospitalized, had a make-over, and now works for a Special Foundation.
Originally, Charlie of "
Bay City Blues" was the original. However, he was corrupt, I had to remove him from power. So when I infused my GOOD personality, you see everything all twisted where there are different strains of goodness and evil.
That's why in "Charlie's Angels," Sam Rockwell had this obsession with Charlie.
DYLAN: Who's that?
ERIC KNOX: That's my dad
Pointing to the picture
ERIC KNOX: And that's the man who killed him.
Eric Knox blamed Charlie for the Death of his Dad. Charlie is explaining that the dad was a Double Agent and when the other side found out about him, they killed him. However, the son blamed Charlie.
That's because in the story line Charlie of "Bay City Blues" was guilty. However, when it comes to Layers there's more going on. That's why the Helicopter shotat Charlie's house and when the Angels pull the controls and the Heat-Seeking Missle shot at the house coming around to blow up the Helicopter was Conscious Isabella, Conscious Sky, and Conscious Erin defending Charlie whiel I was the Villain.
That's why the Director is McG, which is the 1100(11 Female/100) God(G).
That's why you have to be careful about whose version of the story you're listening to. When you watch movies pre-dating April 2004, you have to translate them like Math Problems.
For example:
- -X = 14
- To find the value of X, you have to simplify terms
- (-1)(X) = (-1)(14)
- You have to balance the equation by multiplying -1 to both sides
- X = -14
So when you watch "Charlie's Angels" and you see that the Heroes are being portrayed by 3 women and it's by McG who is an Isabella Character and Isabella Valentine despises me and thinks I'm a Creepy, Psychotic Stalker, you get it where I'm the Villain who's attacking "poor innocent, Charlie."
I said 47/2005 that's how it was two years ago. That woman was furious and went off on me for trying to contac both her and Charlie because I was trying to tell them that I'd uncovered that people were getting hurt and killed. That was important. However, all they saw was some creepy ass Stalker "harassing" them:
Fucking Pissed [Jun. 27th, 2004|04:16 pm]
[ mood | pissed off ]
This journal is directed at one person who is completely obsessed with me and my friends and I am sick of it, so I apologize to any sweet sexy callers for what I am about to say but it needs to be said.
Mr. Isabello Rod Rodillon (yes I am using your real name) you are a fucking stalker, you are a completely obsessive asshole with too much free fucking time on your hands. You have spent the last 3 months writing page after page after page of letters and journal entries analyzing my journal, my friends journals, and all you do is say cruel things about Charlie. Fuck you. And stop calling his cell phone. That's harassment and it's a criminal offense. I have ignored you and your obsessive journal for months and I will certainly not peak at it now, no matter how much of an emergency you say it is. But calling Charlie and being an absolute fucking shit and telling him that I must read your journal is an invasion of his privacy and it upsets me very much. I will not read your journal. Why? Because you're a fucking stupid ass lunatic who thinks that my "psychic powers" are linked to Nicole Kidman of Mulan Rouge and you think that the spirit of some dead comic book guy is watching over the spirit of me. Now you blame the death of a CELEBRITY on Charlie. Listen you fucker. I am not going to stop working with Charlie just because we banned you from calling. I don't care that you called me and spent a huge amount of money. Your money means shit to me when you invade our privacy. You're the fucking reason I had to move out of my home a couple months ago. Stop following me. Stop writing me privately. Stop reading my fucking journal. And leave Charlie alone. And no I don't have any reason to read your journal - even though I get letters all the time from YOUR OWN friends warning me that you are still obsessed with me. Get the fuck over it. I don't like you. We are not meant to be together, I will never fall in love with you... and I don't care for anything you say because you are just plain crazy and I think you seriously need some mental help.
I hate airing dirty laundry in public. I have avoided this since February. But calling Charlie and upsetting him at HOME after we have clearly ignored you and had no contact with you in months and months... purely pisses me off.
Get a fucking life. Stop analyzing my journal. Just because I say "I want to devour you for an hour" which is sweet and sensual... does not mean that deep down my psychic connection is telling you that I want to dig my teeth in your bones and rip the meat off your body. That's the fucking stupidest thing I've ever heard. I was right in banning you and I have no regrets... no please, I am asking sweetly... stay the fuck away from me, stop sucking your thumb that's been in your ass... and get a fucking life and concentrate on your own mentally fucked up life rather than analyzing mine.
**again I apologize to other people reading this, you know I never get like this... but this just pushes me over the edge.**
This is the SHIT that I've had to put up with. So you have all these people PISSED OFF AT ME.
However, this comes back to what I said. If people want to chew my ass out and call me all these things about being "Mentally Deranged," that's fine.
HOWEVER, I said I wasn't bluffing when I said about the Psychic Phenomenon and that my Readings are accurate:
- 6/27 = Tobey Maguire's B-Day for Spider-Man
- 4:16 pm = Martin Lawrence's B-Day. He was in "Black Knight" where the King in the movie is born 5/29 for my Birthday
- 4:16 pm = 16:16 Military Time = P/P = PP = Non-Aquarian Male = Leo Female
My Readings are ALWAYS accurate and EVERYONE leaks information when they're not paying attention. That's why that encoded data stream is always running. For people who aren't aware they're leaking Signs, I don't listen to what you say. I look at the Numbers.
That's why they say, "Show me the Numbers." Don't give m the Hype or try to sell me on anything. Show me your Numbers. That's why for all people born before April 2004, I can look at their Full Names, Birthdates, and Initials and get a general idea of why they were born and what is their governing operating procedure.
Lee Harvey Oswald
People in later years will eventually catch on and cover up their Signs and change things, but this method was developed by the Planet unbeknownst to Humans. That's why I bet if you looked at all the unsolved murder and homocide cases over the last 100 years and applied the Decryption Code, it would hint as to who did what who were the most likely suspects if you look at their birthdates, their names, and their initials.
Most of them were tagged with names that would indicate what they would do
- Lee Harvey Oswald is LHO = Left Hand(LH) Sun(O)
- I said my mom is born 12/8 for L/H
- Sunny Leone looks like my mom in 1961
- The person who killed him was someone with a terminal illness. I said I'm dying. That's the Terminal Illness.
- I said I'm born on JFK's B-Day
It was said that it was a close race between Nixon and Kennedy. The reason why JFK was rumored to have won was because of submitted ballots of Dead People.
The WA/T-ER/G-At/E Scandal was with N/IX-On, which is Nature(N) God(I/9/IX) Activated(On). It's also Final(N+I) Cross-Eyed(X) Activated(On).
The reason why the Planet talks about Diamonds with the Superman Shield is because when you put separators in the words, it's like looking at a Diamond from different angles and seeing how it sparkles. That's how you get layers.
So if you try breaking your full name down into multiple facets, you'll see the "brilliance" of the diamond.
Experience
I'm fighting in a race against time because I have to see if I can put as much information between me and people who are going to come after me:
- I keep stating that I'm not Racist and have nothing personal against the Black Community
- I got screwed over by White People
- I face Psychological Discrimination every day because I have to censor what I say
- I already get alienated by people because they don't like what I think and say
- I've already lost friends because of who I say I am
That's why I put up with Discrimination. I know Discrimination. That's why I am trying to make the point that anything I say isn't directed at people maliciously. I'm just stating what I see.
That's why in "Scary Movie 3," you see how George is in the "Rap Competition" and after he wins, he puts his White hood up and it makes him look like a KKK Member. The Black Audience gets all pissed and kick him out of the place.
That's me. The Planet's making fun of how I was stating some things and it makes me look like I'm a White Supremacist :P.
That's why I keep pointing out that I"m a B/L.A.-CK Fe-Male for a reason. People can sneer at the Title, but the Planet was bequeathing it to me so that I'm protected.
That's why you have Indian Reservations (IR) on the U.S. that are not subject to U.S. Laws. I put a CA-S in O on my IR :)
- CA-S in O = California(CA) Superman(S) in the Sun(O)
- C-AS in O = Dominant(C) Clark Kent(AS/33=3x11) in the Sun(O)
There's another BIG ASS SIGN:
- I said 10/7/2005 that Governor Gray DAVIS was removed from Office.
- That's for my business associate Davis.
- That's why the Confederate States of America promoting Slavery was by Jefferson DAVIS
- George Bush is GB = 72. Davis was born in 1972.
- Dick Cheney = Rod(Dick). C-He/NE-Y = Dominant(C) Gemini(He) Northeast(NE) Male(Y). I said 1/15/2006 that NEY is for the Northeast Male
- Bush/Cheney defeated Jonathon Kerry and Jonathon Edwards. Jonathon Edwards is the PSYCHIC. I'm the Psychic :P
- That's why they lost the Election.
The Planet knew that the Black Community was going to get pissed. So it put some BLATANT SIGNS. Even if people don't want to believe me, they at least have to concede that they're dealing with an individual who is out of the ordinary and shouldn't be taken lightly.
That's why I still say that I hate my job. This the dirty part of my job that I dislike the most. Everyone thinks it's all so wonderful and where I can do all these "magical" things. They don't realize the crap that comes with it. There are a lot of responsibilities that come with this job and stress.
We've Seen Wife Swapping, But Race Swapping?
Confronting America's Racial Divide, in Blackface and White
By FELICIA R. LEE, The New York Times
(Feb. 16) -- Brian Sparks, a black man in whiteface, for the first time in his life had a salesman actually slip a shoe on his foot. Bruno Marcotulli, a white man in blackface, declared that the black Bruno and the white Bruno received the same general treatment. He was just waiting to be called a common racial epithet, he said, to show calmly how he would not allow the word to hurt him.
If race is the "third rail" of culture, as John Landgraf, president of the FX cable channel, believes, then his network's new series "Black.White." is high-voltage reality TV.
"Black.White.," a six-part documentary that makes its debut on March 8, follows the race-swapping experiment of two families. The white Wurgel-Marcotulli family of Santa Monica, Calif., (along with Rose Bloomfield, the 17-year-old daughter of Carmen Wurgel) and the black Sparkses of Atlanta, including Mr. Sparks's wife, Renee, and 16-year-old Nick, undergo a racial transformation through the magic of sprayed-on color, wigs, contact lenses and other makeup tricks. The whites appear black; the blacks appear white.
"Black.White." is the debut of such a dramatic switch on television, the producers say, although such adventures in pigmentation have been the stuff of literature and film, from the 1961 book "Black Like Me," by John Howard Griffin, to the 2004 film "White Chicks," starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans.
This time, viewers see the families (who temporarily leave work and school) in the Los Angeles area, secretly integrating a bar with a bartending job (Mr. Sparks) or joining a black poetry group (Ms. Bloomfield). Mostly, the families try to get a taste of life in another skin as they shop, go to church or seek help with a broken-down car. For six weeks last summer, they even lived together in a big San Fernando Valley house, debating the meanings of their experience and sharing their lives.
The first episode ends with Mr. Sparks and Mr. Marcotulli (in black makeup) sitting in a van, refusing to meet each other's eyes. "I think, from your reaction today, you're looking for it," Mr. Marcotulli, a 47-year-old substitute schoolteacher, says of racism, which Mr. Sparks says he can discern after a lifetime in black skin. "You see what you want to see," he complains.
Mr. Sparks, a 41-year-old computer expert, snaps back, "And you don't see what you don't want to see."
At times the participants address the camera. They also sit around the dinner table, struggling to communicate. Ms. Sparks, a 38-year-old dental office manager, declares she is "mad and angry at the same time" because Ms. Wurgel, a 48-year-old location scout, used the term "beautiful black creature" to describe a member of her daughter's poetry group. Ms. Wurgel says she is tired of being misinterpreted. "They already knew whites were insensitive and ignorant; I heard that from the beginning," Ms. Wurgel says. The teenagers look embarrassed.
"Somebody's feathers are going to get ruffled," Mr. Landgraf said, when asked about the reaction he anticipated to "Black.White.," whose participants have already taped an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," the closest thing to a national town hall. "That's what people expect from our network: risks," he said. But beyond his desire for FX to develop more documentary-style, unscripted shows, Mr. Landgraf said, he specifically took on the sticky, unarticulated subject of race.
"There is a lot less overt bigotry in America," Mr. Landgraf said, so he wanted to find a way to probe the more subtle side of racial conflict. "What you find is that there is still a misunderstanding of the different histories and life experiences of blacks and whites."
The three executive producers - the documentarian R. J. Cutler (the television series "30 Days," "The War Room"); the actor and rapper Ice Cube, who starred in and produced the films "Barbershop" and "Barbershop 2: Back in Business"; and Matt Alvarez, a partner at Ice Cube's company CubeVision Productions - said they simply sought to capture reality. The families, they said, did not receive any instructions. In public settings the cameras were either hidden or were present under the pretext of making a documentary about a family. Mr. Cutler said that race is "the central defining issue in American society, American history, where we are now, where we're going, and it's something that doesn't get spoken about."
Ice Cube, who sings the series's theme song ("Please don't believe the hype/ Everything in the world ain't black and white"), said the show would give people a reason to talk about race at work the next day. "And hopefully, in discussing the show, learn a lot more about each other and maybe deal with some of the issues," he said in an interview.
All the on-camera participants said they saw "Black.White." as a way to show how the emotional paper cuts of everyday interracial interactions can aggravate bigger issues like discrimination in housing or employment. The adults, in particular, said they walked away feeling misunderstood by the other couple and frustrated by the inability to get into one another's skin.
"They really wanted me in this show to really come off at the end as, 'Gosh, I see' and 'Oh, my heart is open,' " Mr. Marcotulli said in a recent telephone interview. He is compassionate, he said, and he knows that racism exists. "But you know what? Life is tough for millions and millions and millions of people. And I just can't say, you know, 'Yes, the African-Americans, gosh, they have it tough and they deserve reparations and we should do everything we can.' No."
Renee and Brian Sparks, though, said they believed that Mr. Marcutolli had tended to shrug off the subtle racism he encountered from whites and waited to hear the racial slur, which they repeatedly told him was unlikely. They were right. They also said that the white couple had the misguided perception that they had needed a radical transformation to "pass" for black; at one point in the show, Bruno and Carmen buy African garb for a church service. Black people, the Sparkses said, are accustomed to being a minority and making small accommodations to blend in with whites, like changing their speech patterns.
While the two teenagers did not engage in the same verbal skirmishes as the adults, Ms. Bloomfield challenged the notion that race was less fraught for their generation.
"I was kind of surprised to find that I learned more about this invisible barrier than I thought actually existed," said Ms. Bloomfield, now an 18-year-old aspiring actress. After participating in a rap poetry group and "coming out" as white to the black performers, she discovered that the group treated her differently.
But Nick Sparks, now a 17-year-old student, does not buy into notions of outsize cultural gaps between the races. "In our generation, we don't see race," he said. "I was treated about the same when I was black and white."
Given that the producers deliberately sought families who identified themselves as progressive and open-minded, the differences in perspective exposed by "Black.White." are instructive, Mr. Cutler said.
"This show ends up being a critique of the notion of colorblindness as much as anything else," he said. "It's still blindness. And blindness is dangerous."
