54. Anyone remember the 90's movie that flipped the roles?

The movie was based on society where black people where the majority and white people were the minority It was with John Travolta and I think Harry Belafonte. I was a teenager when I saw it. Being white and not very enlightened about systemic racism I remember the movie striking quite a chord. I remember how bad I felt for John Travolta's character and how much I disliked Belafonte's character. It really opened my eyes and made me think a lot about race relations and how it feels to be a black man in America. It was easy for me to see that because Travolta was white and I was white that was the driving factor in how I was upset about how his character was treated. I think it was the first time I ever really thought about how it might actually be to walk a mile in the shoes of someone who is not a white.
