Bruno is the kinda man who will tell you not to get “emotional” over racial injustices while simultaneously being the guy that would punch a ref at a 6 year olds soccer game
aka most gen x white fathers who have to say "I'm not racist" way too often for it to actually be true. speaking from experience as my last foster father barely called me by my actual name because he thought "chinky" was better.....
it’s really sad that no one in the black family felt comfortable calling out the white dad even in a _moderated conversation specifically about racism._
It's a reality show, you never know how much is natural conversation and how much is making an entertaining TV show. Like, if the producer asked if he could say some of those things just a minute prior before they rolled the cameras then calling someone out would feel weird.
No it's not adorable, if you know the history, they used to ban blacks at most golf courses for a very long time. Like back to 1961, and some places still enforced segregation
Daisy… Daisy… give me your answer do I’m…. Half….. crazy…… all.. for.. the.. love.. for.. you…… it… would…. Be…. A….. stylish…… marriage…… I can’t….. afford a carriage……
There's no way Bruno doesn't loudly retell the story about how he taught a bunch of black people that racism only exists bc their reactions allows it to exist every time he has one too many
Yeah he was pretty fucking proud of that hot take. Solved racism. If The Blacks just let white people call them n*****s without reacting then racism wouldn't exist! And that is how we make America great again! Honestly, Bruno was just giving us all a glimpse of the dystopian future that we now exist in.
This show is straight lies!! And these dudes should know this, doing a commentary on this, with out doing any research, either they are terrible at what they do or the want to instigate the masses and trigger hate. These are the people that claim to be for equality when the instigate more hate and more racism. They are exactly what they claim to hate. Film actor (referred to here as a teacher) Bruno Marcotulli portrays Bruno Wurgel; his purported girlfriend Carmen, and her daughter Rose Bloomfield (a child actor who starred on the Disney television show Movie Surfers, until she quit shortly after being cast in Black. White.). The white family in black face are all paid actors. Do your research, don’t fall victim to false information.
@@microwaav I agree, but the media industry can mean getting paid to do pretty awful and morally bad things sometimes, often under contract. Some people decide, or are forced to decide, to do bad things at times. Not trying to make an excuse for these people because I don't think that's what happened here, but, just saying that kinda thing can happen. You never know what kind of situation someone's in.
exactly. i seriously don't know what was going on in people's mind when making these shows. like, you're really telling me this went through teams and teams of people for this to be approved??
Social Media didnt exist for one. Media was the main source so we had to deal with shitty TV. This is why Cable is failing to this day. Same people pushing the Woke Agendas today. Dont get me wrong, I support Social Justice, but I guarantee you 20 years from now the gay community is going to look back during this time and say "Oh God why did we exploit gays so much back then".
"Another melinated queen" fucking killed me. But seeing like that black dad just being like "I'm gonna do the things I always do but this time without getting discriminated" is like legit sad. Meanwhile the white dad is just like "I will say a slur now I think I've earned it"
“it’s nice being treated respectfully and not being judged in my everyday life for once.” “yes finally!! i can say the word!! i can finally be cool!!!”
Literally the black family were just doing normal stuff and the white family wanted to see the black side of things but the dad just wanted to say the n word without repercussions
@@khiaralshae8636 and honestly the only reason he felt more accepted was because he was “the same race”, wasn’t even really a race issue white family really just wanted to be racist or woke (except rose seems like she was a bit oblivious)
The segments with the black family in whiteface are hilarious but the segments with the white family in blackface are a psychological horror experiment
What's funnier: meeting a stranger and being 90% sure he's doing blackface, but not wanting to accuse him just in case OR meeting a stranger and slowly coming to the realization he's doing blackface. Like you're having dinner and he takes a big sip of water and his upper lip is suddenly white
i think the slow burn is funnier. like maybe at first ur like “huh, this person doesn’t have typical black features, but then again there is no one look for a race” then “did his skin just come off a bit? i probably didn’t see it before?” then. “oh my fucking god that’s makeup. this is a white man in blackface. oh my god. what the fuck”
@@batjackattack5556 The way you wrote this made me think of a horror movie, but instead of slowly finding out that the person you're interacting with isn't human, you slowly find out that you're interacting with a white dude in blackface.
I looked up the show out of curiosity and what do you know, the white family wasn't a real family at all. The "parents" were dating at the time but nothing more serious than that, and the daughter was entirely unrelated and didn't even know them. The black family was actually a real family though, and I think this difference explains a lot about the behaviour of the two families here.
I believe Rose actually is Carmen’s daughter? but yeah Carmen is/was a talent scout, Bruno is actually Bruno Marcotulli and was her boyfriend at the time, and Rose is/was also an actor. Not sure if what they were doing IN the show was acting too? (I presume not) but the black family WERE completely real and not actors and WERENT TOLD that the ‘Wurgles’ were fake/actors. They apparently got told that Bruno was a teacher!! and only found out he was an actor from googling him after the show aired????
The black dad was like “lol I’m going to go play golf” and the white guy was like “how many times can I possibly say the n word?” And I think that says a lot about this whole issue in general
lmao but yeah the black dad is like "okay let's see if i get treated nicely by white people for once!" and the white dad is like "let's be as racist as i can
EXACTLY and the very obvious white guilt and black fetishization going on with that couple was fucking terrible. the black family was making fun of how ridiculous they looked and were making funny jokes about being trust fund babies and the white family just.....did whatever tf it was they did.
The fact that Bruno lied about experiencing someone calling him the n-word specifically so that he could try to convince actual black people that there’s nothing wrong with non-black people using it and that what’s actually wrong is how black people react to being called it is just so unbelievably vile and disgusting. I think a part of me died watching that.
I'm paused on that part in the focus group- I almost can't bear to watch the rest since it's so incredibly shocking to see the way in which this man chooses to express himself given the bare minimum allowance of physically passing as African American.
The white family gives off “takes group photos with the local children during their African vacation” vibe. But that little girl is so earnestly trying to learn and grow. The way she sat up and opened her posture to really hear when another perspective was being voiced was so endearing.
@@evansblackparadeI really wanna hear what she thought going through all this. It really felt like she wanted to say somethings, but maybe it didn’t make it in, or she was directed not to. I wanna know if she was kinda being told to be more like her parents but she was comfortable with it.
Chatters on Hasan's stream found out that the white couple arent together anymore, Bruno does occasional youtube vids, and the daughter is now a christian wellness podcaster. Theres not really anything available about everyone else though
@@runjennierun07 I hope it's a healthy podcast! A lot of people see really big red flags from Christians starting podcasts or channels about their religion, but honestly, if it's just about wellness and taking care of yourself as a Christian, she can pop off.
@@Silvercanth Hell yeah, TWEWY slaps. If there was a version of the game that combined the Final Mix visuals and content with the DS controls, I'd pay basically whatever that modder asked. I'm sitting on NEO TWEWY, but the second I get free time I'm going to basically devour it.
In a way.... It shows how performative a lot of woke white people are. It highlights the struggle of being around such blatantly unaware people. Not just the family in the show, but allll the people who okayed and celebrated it. But I suppose the message is lost on the unaware
@@Souperasylum absolutely, I've seen other white people arguing with black creators on tik tok about racism, and it can be super basic shit too, then you look at their profile and it says blm 💀
The part where Rose called out the way this show works as everyone being forced into basically a bundle of stereotypes was 100% aimed at the production crew.
Honestly she’s 17, so there’s a fair chance she never *really* consented to doing this show in the first place since she was a minor…. Like we’ve seen what her parents do when cameras are rolling imagine what shit they put her through in real life
They try to take off the make up but they can"t, and it turns out Bruce used magic from satan/ devils to force their race swap to be permanent. And the rest of the movie is Bruce saying the n word straight into the camera
The difference in believability between the white family and the black family is so stark. If I ran into Bartholomew Mayonnaise on the street I would not be able to distinguish him from any other white, middle-class, suburban dad, meanwhile *Bruno* would have set off alarm bells that he wasn't even human, let alone black.
@@firetarrasque4667 I think it's rather that the black family has actual experience trying to "blend in" with white people whereas the white family (and by extension, the makeup artists) have an idealized caricature of what being black is in their heads. I think this is best represented by the scene of Bruno showing off his "gangster walk"
These white parents do a perfect parody of white liberal racism, and the worst part is that it isn't actually a parody. They're actually serious. I screeched several times
@@Wired_User honestly, that would be a better theme to explore than whatever this shit was. Neoliberals who want to believe, or be believed to be, fighting racism, or "understand what they're going through" but are slowly shown their own ignorance.
@@Wired_User honestly the most people I’ve seen act like this aren’t neo liberals it’s just regular white liberals. They act like they’re allies but their reality is completely warped
@@Wired_User Hey, could you explain exactly how you've determined that these individuals are neoliberals and not liberals, and explain the difference that allowed you to make that distinction in this case?
@@Kiki-wm5or agreed, along with their age, it makes sense to me that they are "comfortable" middle class white liberals whose parents didn't believe in literally lynching and prosecuting black people for nothing. and they think they are super strong allies because of that.
This show is, ironically, the whitest thing ever. It didn’t show Flanders what it was like to be an oppressed minority, it shows his family what words he wishes he could say.
the white parents were trying so hard to be woke but didn’t realize there are limits rose was a real one ngl and i loved the black dad just being like “imma go golf lol”
I was the only black girl in my high school ( in the middle of a cornfield) and my senior year of high school during black history month my English teacher dead ass showed this during class as if it was some type of educational experience for the class and ??? I’m just so glad someone is talking about this cause 17 year old me was literally losing my mind arguing with my teacher and class about how insane this is
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how awkward and deeply off-putting that experience was. I hope at least some of your classmates could see it was gross
Nothing to do with the race thing, but if my husband said "I'm in love with this woman" and suddenly couldn't resist kissing me AFTER I got a full face of prosthetics, fake teeth, a wig, and an inch of makeup, I'd immediately file for divorce.
@@rumu1240 Right? Talking about black people having a "warmth in their hearts" but then applying that to her white husband in black face. If the "warmth" she's talking about came from the hearts of black people she wouldn't feel it in that instance. Bruno didn't put makeup on his heart ffs. What she's feeling is called "arousal." Why does her daughter seem to understand her personal sexuality more than her mom does? "Hot and sticky fantastic" had me rolling.
Can we put a restraining order on Bruno on behalf of everyone? The way he looked at his wife in makeup made my soul recoil to a depth I’ve never experienced and his ease of using slurs in and out of makeup was beyond fucking horrific. The fact that no one punched him in the face out of pure reflex is shocking.
when they all laughed i was absolutely horrified its like they unleashed something in them like haha now i can be crazy and vile. they look soooooo weird
This reminds me of when Americans got disturbed by that Netflix show when the bodyguard who was having an affair with the Prime Minister kept calling her 'M'am' and they thought he was saying 'mom'.
*Brian, Renee, and Nick:* an actual real family that actually suffers real racism wanting to see the privilege difference for themselves. *Bruno:* * _on the biggest power-trip of his life_ * I need to say the N word every 5 seconds or I will *literally* *_die._*
To be fair when I was 11-12 I had just gotten into secondary school and felt like I could swear freely for the first time and for the next two years every other word was fuck or shit. Im not defending him, But I get where he's coming from
@@darinpringle5611 in what way is a middle schooler learning swears the same as a grown adult man using a violent slur? like... how exactly are those even a little bit comparable?
"It has no power if you don't give it power" is just straight bs. That line of logic only makes sense to someone who's never been part of a marginalized group
can we pay attention to how different the two focus group discussions were. in the first focus group the black people were like we’re never gonna get true equality and talked about how hurtful a racial SLUR is to them. while in the focus group for white people their main problems were “i have to fill out more paper work” and not being able to call someone “brother”. really pinpoints the struggles different communities have to face in this country
What's that expression, "when you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression". This perfectly encapsulates that. Being denied jobs or advancement you're qualified for and not being able to say brother are not the same.
@@altusshow7574 Also like, *even then* there's absolutely nothing stopping someone from using "brother" anyway, as long as it's like. Sincere. And you don't make it weird. But that goes for just about everything. Even just saying "yo" is gonna sound weird if you manage to make it weird.
@@nyahnyahson523 I get the feeling like he was lying and he really said the n-word but wanted to look a little better to the people in the room, It can be that he only said brother....idk I just get the feeling... Just the way he phrase it saying like "why can't I say it, if you do it"
why do so many white people think being uncomfortable is oppression? like yes, seeing the effects of systemic racism and how you continue to uphold it SHOULD make you uncomfortable. this is called empathy!!
The fact that their interaction right before that was: “Yo, if you’re a zebra get those black ass stripes off your back and be a horse like an adult” “Be normal, be a big normal white stallion” already had me laughing so hard, by the time “𝓘’𝓶 𝓪 𝔀𝓱𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵” came up I was full on silent laughing outta air lmao. They’re both good but these guys are a humour powerhouse together
Bruno is actually the worst and I hope that his laundry never dries correctly, that he always gets eyelashes stuck in his eyes and that his pillow never has a cold side. That man is the bane of my existence since seeing this video
I feel sorry for Rose. She probably knows for a damn fact that her parents are messed up and she was pulled into it, but was genuinely curious about how it would turn out
It's crazy how Bruno immediately assumed that HE was gonna be the one teaching life lessons and giving advice in this scenario. And when I say "crazy" I mean not surprising in the least.
Honestly poetry that the black family is like "I can finally learn how genuinely racist white people are when we aren't around" and then the white family, ESPECIALLY Bruno, absolutely goes out of their way to prove that point
At the end of the show, each of the participants wrote a letter to talk about what they learned. Bruno's literally was that he didn't learn anything, except that black people are even more sensitive and uppity than he thought. Really great and enlightening experiment this whole show was /s
I didn't notice this when watching through these videos the first time. If I'm not mistaken this is scripted, so if that is genuinely the case, I have a few questions and concerns. Though, even if it were to be real, we don't see how their real home life is so I think its safe to say they were playing a character for the public/screen to begin with. Edit: I just saw it. I feel sick
Bruno at 29:08 is literally sitting in that chair like a midwestern white father whose kid came home from college with bright blue hair and a same-sex partner
Man, I feel so bad for the kids getting dragged into this shit. And damn, Rose suddenly dished out what should have been the most obvious stuff. Prime example of kids having more sense than adults. She really seems like she truly wants to understand. And it honestly baffles me how hard it is for some people to grasp some of this stuff!
I would love to think that, at some point in the process, everyone under 40 in the group walked out and had to be lured back with financial inducement or something.
the fact that those white people invaded this black space where these black people are talking about their feelings and experiences and then THE WHITE GUY MAKES UP A STORY TO TELL????????? literally made my blood BOIL, i can't even describe the rage this show brings me
That part in particular was so fucked up like, at least the girl Rose had the decency and self-awareness to feel uncomfortable at the poetry thing. The way Bruno was acting like he was dispensing some kind of wisdom while violating a space that was supposed to be safe for these people....wow. I hope at the very least the people there were warned about the show's premise and weren't just walking into this situation completely unaware of what was going on.
Not even just made up a story. He made up a story where he just HAD TO SAY THE N WORD. Like+?!??!?!?! What??? I mean make up the story to try to fit in MAYBE but what was the purpose of saying the nword IN FULL?? Does that man rly believe black ppl just say nword consistently? Kmt
@@case3474 i can't even imagine being one of the people in that group then stumbling upon that episode of the show, i really hope they were warned but i have a feeling they weren't which is so shitty
That "needing to wipe my hands" thing is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard someone say while genuinely thinking they were being righteous.
...he wasn't being righteous he was admitting an internalised racist thought that he had that he's aware and ashamed of. The first step of overcoming a flaw in yourself is admitting it.
I like how the girl is very progressive in her thinking and how she sat up in her chair and got into a more attentive position when the dude was talking about what modern racism is.
she’s not progressive, she’s just doing the bare minimum. i hate that the whole comment section gives her so much credit for speaking out and being aware when being educated and understanding that everything in this show is WRONG is being “progressive” when it’s the bare minimum. calling out racism and whatever was going on in that show is what white people SHOULD do because it’s common sense.
The white mom seems like the type to go on a trip to Africa to “find herself” and when she comes back she doesn’t specify what country, area, literally anything about where she went
I honest to God hate that shit I'm not even African but come ON AFRICA IS A MASSIVE PLACE!!! ITS SUCH A PRETTY CONTINENT. There's SO MUCH one could do in just one of the countries there, like any country really, but the history and the nature there I've been told by people who've gone there (like geologists, I love rockhounding stuff and Africa's got like, all of the good minerals besides South America) that it's ABSOLUTELY worth visiting at least one country just based on the landscape alone. I've also been told the food is an absolute delight. I really do hope to travel someplace there, perhaps one of the Southern African countries, one day at least. Not a fan of the heat that they can have there but it'd be worth it for the culture and the nature.
I’m Cuban but when white people walk around saying, I’m like one of the islanders I’ve come here so much it like I’m Cuban, it makes me feel physically sick
africa... is a county, right? edit: sorry i mean country, obviously africa is a big place with a lot of people. like at least 50, right? (this is a sarcastic post, obviously africa is a continent with MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE IN IT)
“No doubt about it, blacks are superior” “I love black” *proceeds to race play* “There’s…somethin’ in the walk” *Dropping ‘n’ bombs left and right* My soul needs cleansing
He thinks it's not racial stereotyping if you're saying "nice things." Because racists hate black people, so I'm going to "love" them to show I'm the opposite

@@ellblaze9870 whether it was faked or real the impact from it is still harmful. People were still in black face and these people were still participating in perpetuating harmful stereotypes and racist thought; even if those thoughts were not their own. This show shouldn’t have happened, period. Also what about the harm and hurt that the real black people might’ve felt after that meeting? The one where the actor made up that whole weird ass story about being called the n word? What about how they feel rewatching that and knowing they’ve been duped after pouring their hearts out about their experience. Actors or not, it doesn’t make what this show did right.
Yeah. I️ think she actually came to the realization of “hey this is kinda suspicious. I️ came here to learn about other people’s experiences”. But she didn’t really get the chance to actually learn about other people’s experiences
i watched this show last year and really tried to look into where the families are now. unfortunately, it seems that the sparks family reached out to rose a couple times and she never replied
The biggest problem with execution here is that there is no way anybody, not a single person for even one second, believed these two white parents were a black couple. The makeup on the black family was much more believable and as they said, they also are already well acquainted with code switching and fitting into white spaces. Bruno just looks like a white guy who's gone way overboard on the tanning but never thinks it's dark enough 😂
I dunno, I would've been fooled but maybe I'm just gullible? I also don't have very many black friends (I think partially because of where I grew up) so that could be a factor
100% the makeup on the kid was especially good. They made him look genuinely like a white teenager. I have no idea what they were talking about the makeup for the black family looking bad
I couldn’t stop laughing at the intro because Jordan said “bark bark bark”, but his British accent sound like he was saying “bawk bawk bawk” like a chicken in an American accent. That’s why Jarvis asked him why he was making bird sounds.
i understand why you would think he's saying "bark, bark, bark" after calling them the wolf pack, however Jordan actually makes bird noises normally after so he probably was saying "bawk, bawk, bawk"
I started crying near the end because this is just SO SAD! The fact that the white people just seem excited to pretend to be black and do inappropriate things, and could care less about listening and learning is depressing. And the fact that the black couple just want to experience normal activities without suffering discrimination, and STILL EXPERIENCE RACISM DUERING THE GROUP THING IS ABSOLUTELY INSANELY MESSED UP!
Fr and how the guy literally admitted to being racist but still acted like the victim. Like bro you literally said u wipe your hands off after shaking a black person’s hand, how are not racist??
People cosplay as anime characters, or gender swap and wear things and costumes to act like someone else, so how is THIS bad? Isn't it just acting? There's that Hamilton guy that played a white guy for example.
Hey, just giving some quick engagement because I physically couldn't continue. The amount of non-Black people who use the N word in Texas is awful, and I honestly can't handle how casual this misunderstanding of race and racism gets promoted as great and learning... That dad WANTED to use the n word and he's proud of himself... it's disgusting.
The fact that actual black people in the all black panel wouldn't even say it was incredibly telling. That dude was the exact wrong person for this show. Any case that could have possibly been made about this show educating white people on the struggles facing black Americans went flying out the window the second Bruno decided not to sit down and shut up.
Halloween, 2019 I'm out trick or treating with a friend and her friends We get to a house where a black man gives us candy When we leave, one of her white friends screams "BOO" and then the N word at him. He turned his porch light off, even though we were one of his first trick or treaters. its really bad in texas...
Apparently Bruno isn’t her real dad, just her mom’s boyfriend at the time, and they’ve been broken up for a long time, so hopefully he wasn’t around too long.
That’s genuinely a window into how some people view race, especially in America (and how it’s been viewed historically with race science and hierarchy). Black as the negation of white. In the same way dirty is the negation of clean. To them, they’re fundamentally opposite, antagonistic categories. Which is also why the one drop rule existed: since black and white are opposite and contradictory, and whiteness is “purity,” then the presence of “blackness” at all makes the whole impure or unclean, like a stain on an otherwise clean shirt will make the shirt as a whole unclean.
@@joshuab9226 When I was little I literally thought everyone was either black or white, EVEN THOUGH MY DAD IS LATINO. US education sucks, man. One time I mentioned something about my dad being black, and he was like ??? I'm Puerto Rican? and not black??? but maybe i was just stupid
@@The_Asexual_Pervert Nah it’s a thing. A lot of people in America, I think especially older people, are pretty much like, “you’re either white or black.” I dated a VERY brown Mexican man for four years and within the last year my aunt said something about him being white. We were like… huh?? She’s like “well, if you aren’t white what are you? You aren’t black.” We’re like, brown. She said she’d never known that there are people who aren’t categorized as either black or white.
@@aarishowton8037 Thisssss. When I was little some people would ask me whether I was white or black and I was just like....I don't know? I'm mixed but at the time I didn't know my racial background and I've just never identified with whiteness or blackness. I've always just self-identified by ethnicity or nationality. Honestly, even nowadays people often break it down to just black and white.
I’m a mixed-race guy, but I look almost completely white. Even though I look like my white dad, I grew up with my black mom, and a good portion of my life revolves around black culture. I get treated like a white person in both black and white spaces. The white racism group was an extremely familiar scene for me. I have classmates, coworkers, and peers who are unaware of how my family looks, and they just spout racist bullshit because they assume I don’t care.
The same thing happened with me but I'm Hispanic. Because I pass as white, I end up in a lot of white spaces and the amount of racist things the fully white people are comfortable saying around me because I pass as white is concerning. There were times I genuinely forgot I was Hispanic because I was always treated like a white person. It wasn't until this year that I managed to be accepted by other Hispanic people and they assured me that I'm still Hispanic despite passing as white. Edit: Why did TH-cam make 2 sentences appear twice? I had to delete that error.🤦♂️
incredibly relatable. i have a black dad n i only really know his side of the family. n i grew up w black culture due to my nana n aunts n such. it just feels conflicting identity wise so much
White man really set out to be one of "the good blacks." Like he 100% got on this show to teach black people how to behave and he expects a gold star for his humanitarian efforts
the juxtaposition between finding the commentary hilarious and the show making me want to end a life is genuinely exhausting. I laughed, I cried, I peed a bit, truly a cinematic experience.
I feel like the show really shows the generational differences between the children and their parents, especially with the white family. That to me is the most interesting thing about it. The 17-year-old girl clearly has the most awareness of how the whole situation is fucked up and she makes the most sense of everyone on the show. It reveals, given her parents' clear internal biases, that nurture isn't the only thing that informs our views. Societal changes and contact with other viewpoints make a lot of difference, and the interconnectedness of our current society along with the information that we all have at our fingertips is helping to change the minds of the younger generation. I wonder how she felt about her parents after this show aired, especially her dad, given how often he felt comfortable just fucking saying the n-word.
Really, just goes to show how performative their views are. As a white person, I’m always scared that I’ll come off like that, just because I’m awkward and I know it’s a tricky subject regardless. I’m tryna learn how to be a better ally from my friends and POC creators.
It’s weirdly funny how the “daughter” in the show was named Rose, (I’m not sure if the people on the show were given fake names or not), since that’s the daughter’s name in Get Out. This show was essentially the movie without the other aspects of it.
I've heard about race fetishization but I personally have never truly seen it in SUCH a CLEAR manner like in this show. Omg - it's disgusting and that man really is acting like hes doing something progressive when this is debatably as disgusting as hatred filled racism.
He was basically in it for three (planned?) reasons: a) soften the other family and other black people up by saying "blacks" are superior etc. (that was some awful reverse-Eugenics s**t) b) tell a room full of black people that they can get over racism by refusing to take it seriously, like he "does" c) presume he can say the n-word repeatedly - to his apparent delight I cannot believe this is also not the order in which he approached his function on this show. Most egregious :-(
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 You can tell he really doesnt understand the full impact of what being a black person in society is like and this show has just made it worse rather than better as they claim to aim for. He is gathering excitement from the idea of being black because of what he can get away with. He genuinely thinks being black is as superficial as putting on dark foundation and acting on stereotypes and saying the n-word. He fails to show any real respect for black people or their history by not even acknowledging or asking about boundaries or respecting the feelings of real black people and only speaking on stereotypes. He thinks he's just cosplaying or something. Did he not think about how offended and hurt the people in that focus group will be once they realize that this white man just put black face on and pretended to face racism they possibly face on the regular and even used the n-word in his little "roleplay". I also feel like maybe Jarvis and Jordan misunderstood what the man meant when he said that if someone cussed him out, he would start a fight. I think the guy meant that because he hasnt faced oppression, he hasn't been beaten down into accepting that treatment so he WILL become confrontational instead of just keeping quiet like a black person would. Which is a desperate attempt to seem woke but instead just implies that black people dont know how to defend themselves cuz apparently black people standing up for themselves throughout history isn't what has caused change.
Honestly the wildest part of Bruno's whole "if a guy comes up and calls me a slur I'll be able to mentally spar with him" is that my first though when someone calls me a slur is not like "wow this guy is so smart im going to match his wits"
if someone walks up to you and insults you with no prior initiation, you shouldn't be standing around and trying to "mentally spar" with them. You should be trying to make sure they aren't going to _kill_ you
I love how the black couple came back from makeup and were weirded out by how different their partner looks from the person they live with and then the white couple is just going out of their way to fetishize a different skin color
It’s fully heartbreaking that they put the two white parents in a discussion for black issues... imagine being that young girl pouring your heart out and then seeing this on tv later... that’s genuinely traumatising
@@FloatingErgonaut yes, and black girls get similar treatment. I'm a black girl and I can day that in American society black children and teens often aren't treated as such. It's really sad because it leads to us being seen as a threat to a lot of white people, especially in situations with law enforcement.
It's sad that Rose even being half-decent is like a saving grace. OBVIOUSLY great that she had SOME awareness and for being 17 yrs with a father like that, im hopeful she just continued to grow in understanding. but at the end of the day, her responses were the bare minimum of acceptable. Hopefully they shared it in the show, but I'm curious what Nick's experience was since we didn't really see him after the initial makeup.
From what I remember of Hasan's chair stream: Nick ended up hanging out with a group of white kids who hung around him as an excuse to say the n word and his parents were mad at him for enabling the behavior, rose ended up befriending the kids at the poetry club and got along well with Nick's parents, roses mom spends the whole show crying about how she thought Nick's parents were overreacting to her calling them bitches while she was trying to """talk black""", Nick's parents both pretty much get tired of the white face and drop it less than halfway through the show, Bruno is racist throughout the whole thing and his final statement is that he learned that "black people are too sensitive", Nick's dad plays some golf, Nick's mom befriends a progressive old white lady who seems very kind, and roses last statement where she talks about how immature her parents were being was pretty good
@@bigpooper4156 wow thank you for that eloquent and succinct synopsis. where rose learned basic human decency from we may never know but i’m glad she somehow did
@@gasolinecake Well apparently Bruno isn’t her actual dad, just her mom’s boyfriend at the time, so maybe he wasn’t around long enough to influence her too too much
@@bigpooper4156 I kinda love that golf is the only thing the show could come up with as a "white activity" for a middle-aged man. What about wandering aimlessly around Home Depot?
27:34 - I love watching Brian's face here as Bruno is yapping, because his immediate reaction is a mix of confusion and disgust, but then he immediately just puts on a blank expression. It's such a raw representation of the situation, because he's likely spent his whole life being taught to just bear it because to fight back is to be 'emblematic of black stereotypes'. To quote Stan Edger from The Boys: "I can't lash out like some raging, entitled maniac. That's a white man's luxury."
I know it's a joke, and I did laugh, but I feel like this Bruno is EXACTLY the kind of Bruno we should talk about, because he's so.... problematic... Yeah, "problematic" feels like the most diplomatic term for him. He's "problematic" and does not seem to realize just how "problematic" he is. Eh, let's just call it racist. Screw diplomacy.
I desperately want to see a parody of this show called "Gay. Straight." Super tongue-in-cheek and over the top and absurd. I just think it would be a fun project.
Buffalo news had this criticism of Bruno specifically: “Bruno Marcotulli, the head of the Wurgel family, is arrogant and judgmental. Though the program and FX material make you believe he is Carmen Wurgel's husband, reports have surfaced that they are not married and he is her long-time partner. That distortion makes you wonder if there are any others. Carmen has been with Bruno long enough to realize he is unlikely to change his view that people treat people the way they do without regard to race. Marcotulli believes that Brian Sparks (the black dad) feels prejudice is everywhere because he is looking for it. Bruno's attitude troubles Brian, who is just as adamant that prejudice can be detected practically everywhere, even when trying on shoes, if you at all sensitive to it.” And their criticism of Carmen: “There are also some sparks between their wives. Carmen is so cluelessly insensitive that she creates problems even when she thinks she is being nice. She doesn't realize how politically-incorrect some of her statements are. Her attitude rubs Renee Sparks, who admittedly finds it difficult to let things go, the wrong way. The only likable subjects are the children.”
The sentence “I won’t be blinded by negro rage” is actually so fucking funny
It's not that funny
@@totlicker It is funny. You just don't see the humour
Bruno was really like, "I can be better at being black than black people because I don't have being black holding me down"

And that would say 'slavery was not about race'

it’s really sad that no one in the black family felt comfortable calling out the white dad even in a _moderated conversation specifically about racism._
Well according to Bruno, that would be giving that incredibly harmful slur the power because of their history of resentment or what the fuck ever
Probably, among many other reasons I'm sure, because the MODERATOR ON RACISM was a white dude. Like really nicely done there ffs
It's a reality show, you never know how much is natural conversation and how much is making an entertaining TV show. Like, if the producer asked if he could say some of those things just a minute prior before they rolled the cameras then calling someone out would feel weird.
there's also the chance someone did and it was edited out or they where told no to, either way Bruno was just disgusting throughout the episode
@@rinwhittney5039 idk, I can’t imagine it was edited out because as far as reality tv goes, that’s a pretty juicy moment

Yeah he was pretty fucking proud of that hot take. Solved racism. If The Blacks just let white people call them n*****s without reacting then racism wouldn't exist!

-A rich dad with privileged-made naivety
-A mom with a white savior complex
-And a child
it was eeasy to get em
i am physically falling apart
Seriously, I’ve seen some pretty strange excuses for racists to do black face, but this one really takes the cake.
I looked up the show out of curiosity and what do you know, the white family wasn't a real family at all. The "parents" were dating at the time but nothing more serious than that, and the daughter was entirely unrelated and didn't even know them. The black family was actually a real family though, and I think this difference explains a lot about the behaviour of the two families here.
That's so weird, I wonder why they would do that?
@yagamisgod it's a show, they hired actors
I believe Rose actually is Carmen’s daughter? but yeah Carmen is/was a talent scout, Bruno is actually Bruno Marcotulli and was her boyfriend at the time, and Rose is/was also an actor. Not sure if what they were doing IN the show was acting too? (I presume not) but the black family WERE completely real and not actors and WERENT TOLD that the ‘Wurgles’ were fake/actors. They apparently got told that Bruno was a teacher!! and only found out he was an actor from googling him after the show aired????
This makes the couple getting really turned on when the 'swapped' even worse
No shit their last name is Wurgul 😭😭😭😭😭
The black dad was like “lol I’m going to go play golf” and the white guy was like “how many times can I possibly say the n word?” And I think that says a lot about this whole issue in general
Yeah
lmao but yeah the black dad is like "okay let's see if i get treated nicely by white people for once!" and the white dad is like "let's be as racist as i can
It says a lot about society
Www
EXACTLY
and the very obvious white guilt and black fetishization going on with that couple was fucking terrible.
the black family was making fun of how ridiculous they looked and were making funny jokes about being trust fund babies and the white family just.....did whatever tf it was they did.
So, Bruno was basically just like... "my entire purpose on this show is to teach black people how they SHOULD react to racial slurs." Jesus Christ.
that’s a manipulation tactic right? blaming the other persons for their reactions to your actions?
@@batjackattack5556 yes yes it is
yeah and it also sounds like "if I make them think it's okay I'll be able to say it whenever I want" to me
He's infuriating
@@batjackattack5556 yeah for sure
The fact that Bruno lied about experiencing someone calling him the n-word specifically so that he could try to convince actual black people that there’s nothing wrong with non-black people using it and that what’s actually wrong is how black people react to being called it is just so unbelievably vile and disgusting. I think a part of me died watching that.
What’s scary is how he came up with that story seemingly on the spot.
Totally agree.
I'm paused on that part in the focus group- I almost can't bear to watch the rest since it's so incredibly shocking to see the way in which this man chooses to express himself given the bare minimum allowance of physically passing as African American.
He was probably the man entering the disco bar or w/e. I mean who has seen anything disco since the 70s?!
I was trying to put my finger on why i was so upset (other than the obvious...) it's literally diabolical
The white family gives off “takes group photos with the local children during their African vacation” vibe. But that little girl is so earnestly trying to learn and grow. The way she sat up and opened her posture to really hear when another perspective was being voiced was so endearing.
@@evansblackparadeI really wanna hear what she thought going through all this. It really felt like she wanted to say somethings, but maybe it didn’t make it in, or she was directed not to. I wanna know if she was kinda being told to be more like her parents but she was comfortable with it.

I think it's quite funny actually, about as bad as all reality television but with actually an interesting plot.
Bruno is actually the worst and I hope that his laundry never dries correctly, that he always gets eyelashes stuck in his eyes and that his pillow never has a cold side. That man is the bane of my existence since seeing this video

It's crazy how Bruno immediately assumed that HE was gonna be the one teaching life lessons and giving advice in this scenario. And when I say "crazy" I mean not surprising in the least.
Honestly poetry that the black family is like "I can finally learn how genuinely racist white people are when we aren't around" and then the white family, ESPECIALLY Bruno, absolutely goes out of their way to prove that point
"Ya gotta walk with a roll" B)
Well the young girl in the white was the only one who wasn’t acting crazy
At the end of the show, each of the participants wrote a letter to talk about what they learned. Bruno's literally was that he didn't learn anything, except that black people are even more sensitive and uppity than he thought. Really great and enlightening experiment this whole show was /s

This show is straight lies!! And these dudes should know this, doing a commentary on this, with out doing any research, either they are terrible at what they do or the want to instigate the masses and trigger hate. These are the people that claim to be for equality when the instigate more hate and more racism. They are exactly what they claim to hate. Film actor (referred to here as a teacher) Bruno Marcotulli portrays Bruno Wurgel; his purported girlfriend Carmen, and her daughter Rose Bloomfield (a child actor who starred on the Disney television show Movie Surfers, until she quit shortly after being cast in Black. White.). The white family in black face are all paid actors. Do your research, don’t fall victim to false information.
@@ellblaze9870 whether it was faked or real the impact from it is still harmful. People were still in black face and these people were still participating in perpetuating harmful stereotypes and racist thought; even if those thoughts were not their own. This show shouldn’t have happened, period. Also what about the harm and hurt that the real black people might’ve felt after that meeting? The one where the actor made up that whole weird ass story about being called the n word? What about how they feel rewatching that and knowing they’ve been duped after pouring their hearts out about their experience. Actors or not, it doesn’t make what this show did right.

The biggest problem with execution here is that there is no way anybody, not a single person for even one second, believed these two white parents were a black couple. The makeup on the black family was much more believable and as they said, they also are already well acquainted with code switching and fitting into white spaces.

None of the three have the same last name so idk what’s going on with that. I guess maybe rose has her dads name and the mom went back to her maiden.
Can we talk about how the white mom said "the opposite race" as if white and black are the only two races?
That’s genuinely a window into how some people view race, especially in America (and how it’s been viewed historically with race science and hierarchy). Black as the negation of white. In the same way dirty is the negation of clean. To them, they’re fundamentally opposite, antagonistic categories. Which is also why the one drop rule existed: since black and white are opposite and contradictory, and whiteness is “purity,” then the presence of “blackness” at all makes the whole impure or unclean, like a stain on an otherwise clean shirt will make the shirt as a whole unclean.
I believe she was referring to "the opposite" as each other, but it's still very weird

Honestly, even nowadays people often break it down to just black and white.
I’m a mixed-race guy, but I look almost completely white. Even though I look like my white dad, I grew up with my black mom, and a good portion of my life revolves around black culture. I get treated like a white person in both black and white spaces. The white racism group was an extremely familiar scene for me. I have classmates, coworkers, and peers who are unaware of how my family looks, and they just spout racist bullshit because they assume I don’t care.
every race spews racist bs literally every single one, mostly Indians tho.
The same thing happened with me but I'm Hispanic. Because I pass as white, I end up in a lot of white spaces and the amount of racist things the fully white people are comfortable saying around me because I pass as white is concerning. There were times I genuinely forgot I was Hispanic because I was always treated like a white person. It wasn't until this year that I managed to be accepted by other Hispanic people and they assured me that I'm still Hispanic despite passing as white.

Yeah. I seriously think there is no way to survive watching this show without their commentary. My brain would seize.
I feel like the show really shows the generational differences between the children and their parents, especially with the white family. That to me is the most interesting thing about it. The 17-year-old girl clearly has the most awareness of how the whole situation is fucked up and she makes the most sense of everyone on the show. It reveals, given her parents' clear internal biases, that nurture isn't the only thing that informs our views. Societal changes and contact with other viewpoints make a lot of difference, and the interconnectedness of our current society along with the information that we all have at our fingertips is helping to change the minds of the younger generation.
I wonder how she felt about her parents after this show aired, especially her dad, given how often he felt comfortable just fucking saying the n-word.
Period 👏
Probably hated him and distanced herself after, I would 😬
Really, just goes to show how performative their views are. As a white person, I’m always scared that I’ll come off like that, just because I’m awkward and I know it’s a tricky subject regardless. I’m tryna learn how to be a better ally from my friends and POC creators.
I mean the society that you grew up in is just another aspect of nurture. But it does say a lot about progress and generational shifts.
Yeah, I wonder if her parents forced/got her into this.
It’s weirdly funny how the “daughter” in the show was named Rose, (I’m not sure if the people on the show were given fake names or not), since that’s the daughter’s name in Get Out.
This show was essentially the movie without the other aspects of it.
I've heard about race fetishization but I personally have never truly seen it in SUCH a CLEAR manner like in this show. Omg - it's disgusting and that man really is acting like hes doing something progressive when this is debatably as disgusting as hatred filled racism.
He was basically in it for three (planned?) reasons:
a) soften the other family and other black people up by saying "blacks" are superior etc. (that was some awful reverse-Eugenics s**t)
b) tell a room full of black people that they can get over racism by refusing to take it seriously, like he "does"
c) presume he can say the n-word repeatedly - to his apparent delight
I cannot believe this is also not the order in which he approached his function on this show.
Most egregious :-(
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 You can tell he really doesnt understand the full impact of what being a black person in society is like and this show has just made it worse rather than better as they claim to aim for. He is gathering excitement from the idea of being black because of what he can get away with. He genuinely thinks being black is as superficial as putting on dark foundation and acting on stereotypes and saying the n-word. He fails to show any real respect for black people or their history by not even acknowledging or asking about boundaries or respecting the feelings of real black people and only speaking on stereotypes. He thinks he's just cosplaying or something. Did he not think about how offended and hurt the people in that focus group will be once they realize that this white man just put black face on and pretended to face racism they possibly face on the regular and even used the n-word in his little "roleplay".
I also feel like maybe Jarvis and Jordan misunderstood what the man meant when he said that if someone cussed him out, he would start a fight. I think the guy meant that because he hasnt faced oppression, he hasn't been beaten down into accepting that treatment so he WILL become confrontational instead of just keeping quiet like a black person would. Which is a desperate attempt to seem woke but instead just implies that black people dont know how to defend themselves cuz apparently black people standing up for themselves throughout history isn't what has caused change.

Hopefully they shared it in the show, but I'm curious what Nick's experience was since we didn't really see him after the initial makeup.
From what I remember of Hasan's chair stream: Nick ended up hanging out with a group of white kids who hung around him as an excuse to say the n word and his parents were mad at him for enabling the behavior, rose ended up befriending the kids at the poetry club and got along well with Nick's parents, roses mom spends the whole show crying about how she thought Nick's parents were overreacting to her calling them bitches while she was trying to """talk black""", Nick's parents both pretty much get tired of the white face and drop it less than halfway through the show, Bruno is racist throughout the whole thing and his final statement is that he learned that "black people are too sensitive", Nick's dad plays some golf, Nick's mom befriends a progressive old white lady who seems very kind, and roses last statement where she talks about how immature her parents were being was pretty good

I desperately want to see a parody of this show called "Gay. Straight." Super tongue-in-cheek and over the top and absurd. I just think it would be a fun project.
TFW Jarvis thinks Jordan made bird noises but he actually just said “bark” in an English accent.
Okay but Jarvis saying "wolfpack... Caw" killed me twice and now I'm on my 14th life
OMFG THATS HILARIOUS I THOUGHT HE WAS MAKING BIRD NOISES TOO
it feels like Bruno really went on this show just so he could have an "excuse" to say racial slurs
or he was an actor and was paid to say those things.
Buffalo news had this criticism of Bruno specifically:
“Bruno Marcotulli, the head of the Wurgel family, is arrogant and judgmental. Though the program and FX material make you believe he is Carmen Wurgel's husband, reports have surfaced that they are not married and he is her long-time partner. That distortion makes you wonder if there are any others. Carmen has been with Bruno long enough to realize he is unlikely to change his view that people treat people the way they do without regard to race.
Marcotulli believes that Brian Sparks (the black dad) feels prejudice is everywhere because he is looking for it. Bruno's attitude troubles Brian, who is just as adamant that prejudice can be detected practically everywhere, even when trying on shoes, if you at all sensitive to it.”
And their criticism of Carmen:
“There are also some sparks between their wives. Carmen is so cluelessly insensitive that she creates problems even when she thinks she is being nice. She doesn't realize how politically-incorrect some of her statements are. Her attitude rubs Renee Sparks, who admittedly finds it difficult to let things go, the wrong way. The only likable subjects are the children.”
Of COURSE he's italian
@@MafagafoGirl tbf he looks Italian as fuck and his name is Bruno
@@ratedpending yeah but until i saw a last name i didn't wanna assume anything lmao
@@MafagafoGirl true I was surprised they weren't introduced as the Pizzeria family
@@MafagafoGirl as an italian american, WE ARE NOT SURPRISED AT ALL.
Apparently Bruno wasn't even married to the lady or related to them at all. They just wanted to cast him because he's the worst
