Socially conscious Monopoly-style game, Blacks & Whites, uses race and privilege as currency: ‘Watch out for greedy white people or you may go bankrupt!’

Comedy duo Never Sad got the green light to reboot ’70s racial equity game Blacks & Whites, which, like Monopoly, revolves around the buying and selling of real estate.

The revamped game, Blacks & Whites: 50th Anniversary Edition, notes that the game character’s race is “crucial to the player’s success in the game” — meaning that the cards are figuratively stacked against black characters.
