Charles Barkley to host series called ‘The Race Card’ … *Sigh*

TNT has ordered a six-episode unscripted series called The Race Card. In the show, host Charles Barkley will travel the United States examining race relations.

The series is meant to “bust up the echo chamber mentality that so often has people retreating to corners of the like-minded, where views are reinforced and ideas are distorted into angry, unexamined groupthink conclusions.”

“We as Americans never discuss the issue of race in this country and how it impacts everything in our lives until something bad happens. I see this project as a way to talk about race, class and cultural differences and challenge everyone’s status quo,” Barkley said in a statement.

Each episode will see the NBA legend “take on the rapidly calcifying positions around today’s hot-button topics. He will seek out the sharpest and most varied viewpoints from today’s cultural leaders and tastemakers. He will then challenge and probe those ideas, even trying them out on himself.”
