Two men identified only as Black Man and White Man start the film as a discussion over a speech on race to be given at school the next day and escalates into an argument about the differences in the races - moving along all of the cultural lines and finding mutual fears and concerns.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
A black writer (Harold Perrineau, wheelchair-ridden Augustus Hill from the HBO series Oz) is asked by his white girlfriend to give a speech about race at the racially mixed high school where she teaches. In preparation, he talks to a black friend but does the majority of the brainstorming for the speech with a white friend. Meanwhile, two black women talk sexual politics in a café, a white cabby asks out a black woman, the racist white principal confronts the white teacher about her black students, and the white friend (Anthony DeSando, criminal associate Brendan Filone in the HBO series The Sopranos) goes to his corporate job where the topic of affirmative action comes up. In this play on film, everybody seems to be talking about race.
