There is now a TurboTax Income Tax software commercial ad which features a black male who spits 3 times on a white male victim. It is the most divisive, hateful, and racist commercial ever televised.
Yet over 100 have upvoted it on YouTube, and no one has downvoted it! Perhaps YouTube hid the downs. Please consider switching to TaxAct, or H&R Block, or Jackson Hewitt, or another tax software company. BOYCOTT TURBOTAX!

So a black man spitting/spraying a slovenly portrayal of a white man was all just ACCIDENTAL, right?
Borderline trollism.
That is not TurboTax’s page. It clearly labels the video as racist. An upvote is not support for TurboTax. It’s support for the person who is showing their video and pointing out their racism. If you down vote it, it means you support TurboTax and their racist video.
You should ask the moderator to either correct your error in labeling this as Turbo Tax’s page, or delete your post.
Biden tells us that we have to respect Chinese cultural differences, so it can’t be racist.
I saw that on TV. I was disturbed and disgusted.
I was ready to use Intuit for my taxes, second year in a row, but not now. I’ll find another free or reasonable online service that is just as easy, just as sufficient.
I emailed the company a letter explaining why I switched.
They probably don’t look at incoming emails anyway, if no money is being sent their way. I still had to speak up.
Too many pea-brained minorities will see this as justifying harsh treatment of any white male. We don’t need to step backwards into segregation.
People who want to find offense will always succeed.
It’s clownish to emulate the faux outrage of the left.
Crackers have no right to be offended...got it.

Ignore the demoralization. Just be the bigger person, ignore it, and take the high road. It has worked great for us for decades, and look where we are now. /s
You might want to go back to YouTube and read the description of the video, and notice who posted it. It’s not TurboTax’s Facebook page. A down vote actually means you support TurboTax and their commercial.
Exactly, the people saying it’s just a commercial are ridiculous. There is an avalanche of tv commercials in which the white person is an idiot and the black person makes a fool of them.
Like the stupid white guy asking to mow the black guy’s lawn when there’s a foot of snow on the ground.
It’s not accidental and it would never be reversed.
Your friend must work at Bank of America, I used to work there. It’s bad.
Again, a black man spitting/spraying a slovenly portrayal of a white man three times was all ACCIDENTAL?! Madison Avenue is that haphazard and sloppy ?!
Roles reversed there would be hell to pay, heads rolling, of course Trump first.
Excuse making is borderline trolling.
It’s about changing the culture to make it acceptable to treat white people with respect and dignity that is due to us all. Liberals want white people to assume an untouchable cast, where they can be used and abused at will with no consequences.
I don’t see it as just a stupid commercial.

I know you don’t mean it, A strike. But that kind of comment is actually Leftist in nature. We should be able to express our opinions here - and even disagree - without having negative labels attached to us.
OK, I’ll give you that, just seems that way sometimes.
My first thought was that it was two homos.
Thank you for your polite and reasoned reply. All’s well that ends well!
The fact that leftists take offense at everything and see everything through the lens of skin color doesn’t mean that WE need to.
The fact that leftists would throw a tantrum “if the roles were reversed” doesn’t mean that we need to invent faux outrage and emulate them.
Here’s the plain reality. You WANT to be outraged because you believe that the left would be outraged if the roles were reversed. You are raging at the double-standard, not the actual event.
I get that, but by doing so, you necessarily have to adopt the “see racism everywhere” mantra of the left.
The leftists seem to be training many on the right quite well.

Take the time to listen to the message in this song. You might get something out of it.
You must be woke. Do you know the definition of racist?
