"The Race Card" set to premiere in early 2017 and coming after the conclusion of a bitter election year, the show will feature Charles Barkley embarking on a personal journey to understand why the country is so divided. Decrying partisan politics and entrenched corporate interests, the show aims to "bust up the echo-chamber mentality," each week taking a look at the hardened positions around the day's hot-button issues, with an emphasis on America's racial divide. Barkley will tap varied points of view from tastemakers and cultural leaders, with the intent being to challenge and test deeply held beliefs taken as fact, with Barkley even trying the positions on himself before reaching his own conclusions.
