The Most RACIST TV Show Returns (w/ Jarvis Johnson) 

the show's name is Black. White. there's a bunch of vids of us watching it but im not going to link them because i don't want you to feel the same pain we have

100% he wanted anti-white jokes to justify making anti-black jokes

it's so funny to me that bruno is in blackface, trying to become black, and then sitting there saying "i just don't get these jokes. it's like i'm in another country." the whole point of why he can't just become black is just flying over his head as he uncomfortably smiles.

My perspective as a POC: I feel like Carmen is a well intentioned racist- she _is_ a racist person, but that racism is fuelled by ignorance rather than prejudice, and she’s _trying_ to learn and making an effort to be less racist, as she slowly realises throughout the show that she _is_ in fact racist. Rose seems like a genuinely non-racist person who is just ignorant (not just about race, but just judging by her word choice and inability to properly articulate her thoughts) because she’s young, and she’s looking at this through a relatively naive lens as a learning, growing experience, and honestly I agree that she is the protagonist of the white family. She isn’t racist, but uses racist terms that she doesn’t know are racist because she hasn’t been exposed to racism in any form, and she treats it like an opportunity to, as she put it, learn about the black American experience through a practical lens and try to understand it as best she can through a white perspective. Bruno is just racist, and looking for an excuse to not only validate his racism, but be _more_ racist. He doesn’t believe that racism exists, and sees difference in culture as an arbitrary contrast between ‘white’ and ‘black,’ and doesn’t realise that identity runs deeper than just the colour of your skin. He doesn’t understand the impact of slurs, racial privilege and discrimination, or generational trauma, and fundamentally misunderstands the difference between racial equality and equity.

Bruno is so oddly unsettlingly obsessed with race in a way that is so scary and is only amplified by him being in a race swap tv show.

the irony of Carmen explaining why they can't say the n-word as they drive home in full blackface

Bruno laughing and getting angry at Carmen censoring herself is truly terrifying. This whole experience I feel has genuinely made him more racist rather* than giving him a better understanding of being Black

"I wish they did more white jokes" He literally can't comprehend the fact we're not talking about them 24/7 The whole point was to see what is joked about not what HE THINKS is joked about in black comedy clubs

Here's an opinion of mine: I hope Bruno's life was negatively affected as a result of his behavior on this show. I think it's one of very few times I hoped someone lost their jobs.

“He addressed us as brother and sister, an unspoken family” Honey, that’s exactly the opposite of unspoken, it was most definitely spoken out loud as you literally just pointed out

I've gotten to the point where every time Bruno looks like he's about to express any kind of opinion, I'm immediately cringing preparing for the worst. It's incredible that the person who didn't understand the problem with the phrase "black creatures" was the one explaining to him why he couldn't say the n-word.

_"I don't get these jokes, it's like I'm in another country"_ - Blackface Bruno Yeah it's almost like being Black in the US isn't a palette swap and centuries of slavery, abuse, segregation and discrimination by the Ritz has lead us to have different collective experiences like we were purposefully made to live in a separate "but equal" country.

I GET WHY WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO NOW

Carmen, thankfully: “n-word” Bruno, unfortunately: IT IS TIME FOR MY COMBO ATTACK

This is the only show where someone can say Black Creatures and they are somehow the one explaining why not to say the N word as a white person

The way the bleeps happened, it did sound like Mario getting a shit ton of coins. high score indeed

I think I get what Rose was TRYING to say, it's close to what the black woman (I don't know her name, if they even said it) was trying to explain. It's not that she's jealous that black people know, like, "my family comes from X region of Y country", she's jealous that a group of black people can often relate to each other on a level that a group of white people can't. Like in Jarvis' video, the kid like instantly bonded with the barber in the all-black barbershop, but Rose probably can't instantly bond with the white hairdresser at a random salon she's visiting for the first time. And of course *I'm* not saying that all black people are instantly friends with all black people they see literally everywhere all the time always

I want them to keep watching but I'm sure they are emotionally exhausted by this show. Take care of yourselves Jordan and Jarvis! @Jordan, hope your mum is doing okay. Edit: wow never gotten this many likes before. Thank you everyone!

i want to thank jordan and jarvis for suffering through this shitshow in order to deliver entertainment for us, sending prayers.

jarvis having his puppy in the bg but it not being focused enough to see it clearly has me on the verge of tears

Fun fact: the Sparkses fucking hate Bruno. The only person that they ever tried to contact after the show ended was Rose, but they did not like the Wurgels.

it’s funny how history will only look back on bruno and this show with less and less controversy as to whether or not he’s racist. in his time the argument could be made that “he’s not a real racist!” but now, 2022, everything he’s saying is so taboo and genuinely shocking. like he is the most racist, modern person i have seen that is so unabashed in their racism yet so ignorant to the fact that they are. idk if i’m making any sense but i feel like it’s going to be similar to how we look at the 1950s now and are like “now that’s REAL racism” and those people were like looking at slave traders and the KKK and like “no THOSE are the real racists” we (white ppl) keep distancing ourselves from it, like it’s a problem of the past. it just keeps getting more and more nuanced, insidious and harder to detect.

so you know how theres this huge thing of radioactive mass in the chernobyl plant, and how its so radioactive you cant take pictures of it directly so they have to observe it through like, angled mirrors and stuff? thats whats watching this show through jordan and jarvis's videos feels like

I think when the white woman was talking about feeling 'empowered' she meant that facing regular ol' racism everyday would potentially light a fire under her ass to fight against it. IDK, this whole show is bizarre.

Rose is 100% mistaking culture/heritage for community, which again comes back to underfunded and marginalized communities being forced to be close and come together to help each other because if you don't, you don't survive. I commented once already about Jarvis' Jewish grandma story, but real talk, the Jewish community also has this, and it goes back like literally a few thousand years, and is at is essence not something to yearn for, because it indicates literally centuries + of generational trauma, murder, prejudice and persecution. Join a youth group or get a job rose lmao

Even in situation where he's in blackface and listening to black comedians and their jokes are clearly more catered to the experiences and stories alongside black culture, he still managed to make it all about himself and white people. Like, "they should've done more white jokes, I thought that's what this was all about." Like dude, do you think that's the only thing black people experience that's different than white people, the only thing they could joke about, the only interesting thing in their life? Like no shit, black people are...wow guess what, people, and they have other shit to joke about other than white folks. Like, we ain't the most important thing all the time, and just, the fact that he assumed it would be all about him and his race, in a black-catered comedy club, is like, so telling. EDIT: I write all this out while it's paused, press play, and Jordan and Jarvis play off of the exact same point I was trying to make, oops.

I think I have another view as to why Bruno felt bothered on the lack of white jokes. I believe in his head, black people does joke about white as they do, which is not the case. It felt to me that he wanted to get the validation in form to say "you see? they joke about us, why can't we keep doing the same?" And then reality came in. Black people basically live their lives. We're living our lives, despite the willingness of the likes of Bruno to seize this. And that's what bothered him in the whole show

When he said the n word 5 times my kettle finished boiling on the stove so it was like the kettle was screaming right along with the rest of us.

Bruno is SO DENSE OMG. It’s like he has an invisible shield that prevents logic from entering. Also, I used to work with someone who’s ethnically ambiguous and would literally pretend she was different ethnicities. It was very frustrating to witness her cosplaying as Latina with me and other Latinos in our workplace one minute, then claiming that she was Polynesian with the Polynesians, then calling herself a “redbone” with black people. From what I gathered she is actually Jewish and Italian but she’s also a pathological liar so???

I'm curious as to what current Nick and Rose think of this show. I hope Rose grew up to be a decent person and hopefully as she matured was able to understand how wrong this show was and what she thinks of it now. And I just want to hear Nick's thoughts. I felt so bad for him watching Jarvis's video even though I'm sure he's fine now.

i think she meant empowered like "what doesn't kill u makes you stronger". Which is a dumb saying anyway, like going through trauma isnt likely to "make you stronger", its more likely to just make u TIRED of ppls bullshit.

the absolute synchronization of this upload with Jarvis'

Going back to the poetry group in black face would be like and undercover cop going back to the drug gang they infiltrated after they already made the bust.

i feel bad for them suffering through this but it's so hard to look away from the trainwreck that is this show

To be fair, if I was a manager at a store and two white women obviously in black face came in looking for a job, I would have also run out of applications. 😂😂😂

Wait a minute, the whole "using a hidden camera to expose racist hiring practices at a clothing store" thing was also a plot point in That's So Raven

And this is why we don't talk about Bruno. I've never seen somebody so freaking flippant in my entire life. Like homie has eaten from the privilege pie for so long he didn't realize the plate was clean. 😭

Why is Bruno going for the slur combo breaker

OKay but that Jewish grandma story is actually so fucking wholesome lmao like....was she sephardic? Because all my Ashkenazi/salty ass New York Jewish grandmothers would have just asked you if you'd gained weight since the last time they saw you lmao

The part where Rose is talking about how she's jealous that Black people have such a root in where they came from had me making the same face. It's always bothered me that almost every white person i know can throw around "oh i'm german, i'm irish, etc" in conversation but there's not really any way i'd ever know what country of origin my people are from without a DNA test bc that information has been simply wiped from my family history through the slave trade... i've tried to do a search through Ancestry and you can only go so far back into the 1800's before running out of information (not to mentioning how traumatizing it is to have to sort through records of your literal family members who were enslaved) smh people dont think its about these things in casual conversation and it's infuriating

jordan’s face after he said chocolate city 💀💀

I know this is not a history lesson channel but 18:10 Slave Traders and Auction houses regularly separated families as they were sold because that also depowers them as people, plus why would you care when you think of them as livestock. Many African American last names are based on the slave owner's names or names they gave them that usually can trace them back to their plantation/owners. Children of Slave couples were often sold back to slave traders as ways to make money, and Slave women were even raped by their owners to produce more slaves stock. This is where light-skinned slaves come from, and they get treated as house slaves in a similar manner that really has more to do with more abuse and manipulation.

What do you want to bet the producers pulled Bruno off to the side and told him they'd give him an extra $500 each time he said a slur?

Every time Bruno talks, my fight or flight response kicks in.

As a fellow "black" (lol) I LOVE when you guys watch this show omg, it really does make my day every time for some twisted reason

Bruno: They’re not talking about hating whites & not having dads…I DONT GET IT!!! Bruno’s cognitive dissonance is so strong that he can’t compute black people having normal lives, thoughts, & ideas that has nothing to do with white people😂 Bruno before the show: I bet the blacks are gonna be racist & talk about hating white people!🙄 Bruno after: …I wish they were more racist so I could complain about it😪

Rose...doesn't know how to talk. She'll say things but it won't make sense. Like she says "unspoken family" even though they say brother and sister out loud, what she really means is "A sense of community" which white people don't have. Then she talks about black people knowing where they're from when she truly just means black people will want to be with other black people. Rose is that white girl who thinks she's saying some like poetic thing about social issues when in reality she is either saying nonsense or the exact opposite of what they mean.

"Black people are real" "You've seen them...In the movies"

You guys should probably label these with "Part 3" or something because I almost ignored this thinking I'd see it already. Also it'll incentivise people to find the rest of the series

Bruno literally used to date my 5th grade teacher and one day he came and subbed for our class and told us about this show. I've been trying to find it for so long oh my god

Holy shit I was not expecting the five piece combo from Bruno. Edit: this man had his wife literally explain to him WHY /HE/ can't use the word and he goes "well that just feels paranoid to me"??????

Damn y’all still haven’t finished watching this show yet

Wait, I just realized Jordan only has 100k subscribers, that's crazy. That's a ton, but I thought he was *way* bigger. He certainly should be! The guy is hilarious! Especially with Jarvis.

the cutaways where it's just the daughter talking, they always seem to have her in the weirdest setting.

it is so validating to watch creators talk about racism and all of its nuances. rn i’m dealing w some bs discrimination at work cause i’m hispanic in a predominantly white place, and i come to these videos and find mental peace, ty i love y’all :’(

“I wish they had made more white jokes so I could victimize myself better”

I really want to give Rose the benefit of the doubt for not being able to repeat what the poetry group explained to her, because her main takeaway seems to have been the emotional realization that she is not and cannot be as close to these black friends and mentors as she imagined she already was. The explanation can only come after she processes the fact that she is not, in fact, part of the group, and that makes it hard for any explanation to really sink in. Lol not to minimize real issues that POC face, but as a white person the biggest pill to swallow is usually that you’re not allowed in the club, that you really can’t understand what someone is living with, or that you don’t have anything to contribute (or are being harmful/invasive/disruptive by attempting to contribute). People don’t really recognize how hard a pill that is to swallow, and it holds back discussions a lot of the time. The well-meaning white people are aware that something is different and try to do what black authority figures advise them to do, your Carmens and Brunos get defensive or self-righteous when told they should back off if they really intend to be respectful, and POC honestly just get saddled with all the work of playing therapist to themselves and to the white people. It’s such a consistent friction and it’s frustrating how little it’s really acknowledged, so tbh I’m kinda glad that Rose is even able to accept that she can’t do black face and just be accepted as part of the group. It’s better than her parents are doing, and she’s not really getting any help from white people on how to manage her whiteness responsibly. Maybe that’s too much benefit of the doubt, but I really relate to her experience of starting to understand this stuff and hope she’s at least as good a person as I am 😅

I’m oddly happy that he referred to them as “members of the Wurgles.” Only one of them has the last name “Wurgle.” They lied about Bruno’s career and embellished his relationship with Carmen. Just choose Bruno or Rose’s last names. Whatever. Team Wurgle generally sucks

Carmen changing her perspective and behavior and trying to explain to Bruno why the word is wrong is very admirable. It’s sad he wouldn’t listen to her because she was saying it in a way he’d try to understand and he still wouldn’t listen

I just cannot fathom how nobody during the planning, filming, and editing of this show, that nobody just stopped to ask... "Why?"

I was going to write a whole long comment about what exactly that one girl said regarding matching cultures. It is a little unfair because Rose didn't choose to shed her immigrant culture, but she can try her best to relearn it, especially if it's European based. That's a little of what I've had to do being mixed Middle Eastern. But what the poetry group said was correct. Having friends of other cultures and races is great but you meet someone of matching culture and it is an instant connection and instant community. It's nice. It's a relief. it's a security. IDK, that's my two cents.

another banger from my favorite blackface tv show analysis crew

i have seen you guys talk about Black/White a handful of times already but this video was still funky fresh .. i especially liked when you glitched out Jordan

Nothing about Carmen’s response to him seemed phony or paranoid lmao. If anything he seems phony because it feels like he is forcing himself to say the n word just to make a point

Even the few seconds where the camera pans to the other people in the room you can clearly see they are NOT comfortable with what is going on omg

Bruno was the most wrong person to cast on this or any show

bruno is the guy jordan peele made get out abt

this is the real bruno we shouldn't talk about

Bruno sitting there looking like he is a melting chocolate man, and I don't mean black I mean literal chocolate.

This just unlocked a memory. When I was like probably 9 or 10, I went to my cousin’s (she’s my moms best friends daughter) Halloween birthday party, where they were doing a costume contest and you wanna know who won??? This dude who dressed up as a nurse in head to toe blackface. When my mom told me she was like “yeah that dude wasn’t even black!” Like she was impressed that he managed to fool everybody. Just looking back on it that’s so weird??? Like there were adults at this party and idk if nobody said anything but I mean like he still won??? I live in the Deep South and by no means does it make that okay but racism was so normalized and it just astounds me that grown adults and teenagers looked at that and was like “yeah this is fine. Matter of fact, this is COOL”

I bet Bruno would confidently ignore a person's pronouns. He's already ignoring all social boundaries of basic respect, like letting someone finish a sentence or talking over someone in order to be heard first because he thinks what he has to say is more important.

I’d never be able to watch this show on my own, but yall make it funny! & Bruno seems like the type of guy that would lecture me about how I’m too light skinned to call him out for him using the n word.

"I'm not a part of the group, I can never be ;-;" maybe it's because you're approaching this like an experiment (and also the blackface). so my coworkers and I are mostly equal parts white and hispanic, but we have a couple black people, a couple asian people, and one middle eastern person. it is not hard to a) accept that everyone has parts of their life you are welcome to and parts you are not, and b) just be normal? we have achieved synergy and even friendship by following these two simple steps. it is a scientifically proven fact that groups accept you better when you're not acting like a weirdo

It's probably not content worthy but I feel you should both be aware that Rose has a podcast called Path & Purpose.

Okay not to discount their experience, but in high school I did a sociology experiment where I smiled and said "hi" to every person I saw for two days, and it freaks people out. Some people are like "Oh, hi! :)" but most people just get startled by it. I'm sure part of their experience was because they're a group of ostensibly black people in an upper-class predominately white shopping area, but part of it was definitely just because it really makes people uncomfortable when they're greeted by strangers on the street.

Thank you guys so much for sacrificing your braincells to get us this content

Black Man: "You see, we're all brothers & sisters, deep down." White Girl in Disguise: "Ohh, he thinks we're *literally* siblings 😱"

I have genuinely had random men come up to myself and my boyfriend at the time who told him to take care of ‘the queen’ on lore than one occasion. That man threw me out on the street 6 weeks after begging me to quit my job and leave my family to be with him. His brother said their mother wanted him to marry an ‘English rose’.....

We are hiring, but the manager isn't here and we've run out of applications. ... Fam.

Bruno reminds me of my aggressive, racist, sexist, unbearable uncle who is also named Bruno.

Just watched this 40 times over

"5 of their N-words, does not give you a free one" made me laugh for so long that my phone's battery ran out

i cannot yet watch this but upon seeing this i almost screamed “yes” in this fuddruckers bathroom stall

Not Bruno coming in with the combo breaker when Carmen said “n word” 😭

Jarvis pretending he didn't yawn at 6:18 made me laugh tbh

got my nose pierced bc of jordan last week i look very good thanks jordan

Bruno be like: we made the word, I wanna use it!

This show makes me so very uncomfortable its crazy. I actually cannot watch this show with feeling extremely uncomfortable. Its repulsive how blatantly racist some of the people in the show are and how absolutely no one calls them out. I really wish that someone with actual competence sat everyone down and gave them a simple explanation of how the things they did were wrong, racist, or rude. Especially the Weurgers, or whatever the white family was called. Anyway thank you Jarvis and Jordan for making this painfully intolerable experience somewhat bearable.

I just love the comparisons you two make and they are always spot on no matter how obscure they are!

I’m sorry WHAT - she’s been dating him for a few months????? Dude I thought he was the father of Rose and her husband. Yeah she has no excuse anymore. That’s the definition of cringe. Enabling and gross!

we don’t talk about bruno no no

I lost it at “can you switch to dark mode?” This is too weird.

The producers missed out on a massive opportunity not calling this show ‘Incognegro’

So happy about Jarvis' dog cameo

I LOST IT WHEN JORDAN SAID “HIGH SCORE”💀

carmen really went “why can a black comedian say the n word in a comedy show but my white husband can’t say it around a black family and their child?”

Bruno’s hittin em with that Dr. Laura n-word speed 😬

This is my favourite show for so many reasons, none of which were intentional by producers. It is so fucking hilarious to make fun of

It would be so cool if you could try to get in contact with one of the participants in the show, preferably Rose, and ask if they'd like to do an interview with you. I'd really like to know how these people look upon this experiment in retrospect today.

These videos are always spectacular. Well done Jordan.
