Hollywood’s looking to make some money on the back of ‘change’!

Lo and behold, NBC is developing a comedy based on the book Making Friends With Black People, reports Variety.

The show will be formulated as a buddy comedy focusing on the state of race relations in the U.S.

The story will center on two guys — one African-American and one white — who become close friends, but who don’t necessarily see things the same way.

The book’s author, Nick Adams, said, “From time to time, race bubbles up in the consciousness of the country and then dissipates. Now, with Obama, people are talking about race a lot more. We hope to capitalize on that and not let the dialogue die down. … It seemed like a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.”

Totally!

Strike when you can make some dough!
