If some one can get this I’ll be forever impressed.  
The only thing I remember is at the end (or close to the end?) a Black man and a White man are on a bus (one of them is driving). Some sort of catastrophe happens (I can’t remember what). The end result being the Black man covered in some powdery white substance thus making him look “White” and the White man being covered in some sort of black substance making _him_ look “Black”

Both of these guys upon seeing each other have the chuckle of their lives from the sight of one another.

Sorry, I know it’s vague.

Not a B&W movie, but that sounds very similar to a scene from _[1941](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078723/)_.
