The story of America’s infamous black & white love affair, from shotgun wedding to “post-racial” open relationship.

Drawing on folktales, history and autobiography, Desiree Burch speaks to the growing majority of minority experiences in America.
With a socially conscious comedic style reminiscent of Richard Pryor and Louis C.K., this liberal not-so-African-American offers up a hysterical carnival game of Race & Capitalism—where no one’s a winner, but everyone’s still playing!
