No, but Eddie Murphy famously pretended to be white for a while and the results were frankly shocking (got free newspapers, easier time getting loans, etc.)

No, that was just an SNL sketch: http://www.snotr.com/video/422/Eddie_Murphy_goes_undercover

There was a famous book called Black Like Me about a white guy who pretended to be black in the south in the late 50s/early 60s.
