American Idol alum Kimberley Locke joins Tyra for this in-depth talk about the lives of biracial people. Plus, she opens up to Tyra by sharing personal stories about her struggles growing up biracial.

Then, Tyra meets with biracial guests who feel so strongly about how they are racially identified that they're dying to speak out. And she performs a groundbreaking social experiment by showing their picture to people on the street and asking them to pick what race they believe the photos are of, and why.

Tell Us: Should "biracial" be it's own race? Where do race, ancestry, and skin color fit in?

It's Judgment Day!

Judge or be judged?

In a groundbreaking social experiment, The Tyra Show examines why people are so eager to make snap judgments based on appearance -- especially women.

Tyra sends a panel of people -- who have no problem admitting they're judgmental -- to an event space to judge pictures and video of people they've never met. The unsuspecting panel is unaware that the people in the pictures can hear every word they're saying -- and will eventually come face-to-face to confront their judgmental views. Then, the audience sounds off on the guests strong opinions.



Al B: Second Chances

Second chances. Do we all deserve them?

Clearly, there are some acts so heinous that even the most forgiving amongst us would have a hard time offering the opportunity, but when is it warranted? Am I ever obligated to give a second chance? How many "second chances" are enough? Recently a few prominent news stories brought that to mind - the sentencing of Chris Brown, the re-entry of Michael Vick to the NFL and the death Sen. Ted Kennedy. Why them you ask? Each involves the idea of a second chance.

After being convicted and sentenced for assaulting Rhianna, twenty year-old Chris Brown is now looking to family, friends, and the public for a second chance. Will he get it?

Amid much controversy, Mike Vick has been given a second chance to play pro football after serving time for his role in a dog-fighting ring. Will he take advantage of it?

Early in Sen. Kennedy's career he was involved in incident referred to as "Chappaquiddick" that could have ended all of his political aspirations. He got his second chance and took full advantage of it. And at his death, some 40 years later, he was hailed as one of the greatest political figures in American history.

These are just a few examples of how second chances can play a role in one's life, but how does the concept work in your world? Not much in this life is certain beyond death and taxes, but you can add this to the list - There will be at least one point in your life when you will be asked for a second chance and you will ask to be given one. Whether in love, at the job or from family/friends - it WILL come up.

How will you handle it?

Open up and talk to your kids at any age.

The "talk" -- the big one. Most think of this as something that hangs over parents' heads until their kids reach puberty. However, the "talk" doesn't have to be a family tormentor if you slowly start to bring up the taboo-topics early on.

We spoke to Dr. Gail Saltz and she gave us tips on the best way to break the news about the "birds and the bees" at any age -- even pre-school.
