On Friday’s episodes of Dr. Drew’s “LifeChangers,” the talk-show host takes on interracial dating in a very controversial way. Dr. Drew invites Black men who refuse to date Black women on the show to explain why they’ve sworn off sisters, then offers Black women tired of these types of men a chance to confront them face to face.

From the looks of the teaser, things get pretty heated, and fast. Luckily, ESSENCE columnist and Modern Day Matchmaker Paul Carrick Brunson is on-hand to help diffuse the situation and coach the guests toward some sort of resolution.

Does it anger you to know that there are Black men out there who refuse to date Black women? What would you say to them?

If you’d like to tune in, check the show’s site for local showtimes and stations in your area.
