(N.O.W. perhaps?) take a picture on the floor with the sexes reversed? (Meaning you’d have 409 women and 126 men as stand-ins for your reps)

Similarly, I saw Patrick Stewart play the lead in a reverse Othello, where the racism depicted in the play truly jumped out in a way it hadn’t in traditionally cast versions.

Yes, it would be enlightening. You’d have to have black cops arresting/abusing/beating/killing whites, which might terrify people before they got the point.

John Travolta starred. Was a pretty good take on things if I remember. It was a world where black people controlled everything and white people couldn't get a fair shake.
