Your three points are things I’ve considered about this. It clearly shows that blacks care about skin color and whites don’t. Bottom line: blacks are racists and whites aren’t. It’s simple.

There was one, I think it was Amazon where a middle-aged black wife buys her white husband some new speakers specifically for her vinyl record albums. Another with a black woman and a white man talking about home pregnancy tests. It's not that uncommon.

I don't mind the increase of blacks in commercials. I could live without the bears, turtles, geckos, emus, and other animals in commercials.

Someone posted on FR awhile ago, that they had friends from Europe visit. They were astounded to see the true ratio of blacks to whites in the US.

They had believed that America was an apartheid society with blacks in the majority. They got this impression from exported programming and movies from the US as well as international CNN type network programs.

Hollywood wants a race war fostered. They believe by pushing blacks in your face day after day that they will be hated...and they are.

State Farm Insurance had a White guy named Jake. The idea was you could call any time day or night and get Jake on the phone. This I believe was good marketing selling a service 24/7/365. Dependable and easy to get insurance but also usually showed a “Karen” wife jealous that Jake and husband were clandestinely meeting at night.

Now Jake has changed to a Black actor and he doesn’t seem to be available 24/7/365 but more easy going and friendly than White Jake. Black Jake just happy and ultra cool and scratch the jealous wife.

Now imagine if this was reversed— Black Jake fired — White Jake actor takes his place— all media explodes.

Video on the golden globes and hollywood.

Mark Dice: Hollywood’s Big Award Night RUINED! Hahaha!
NBC refused to air last night’s Golden Globes because its voters aren’t diverse enough.

"lotsa jive, lotsa loose fitting clothes, lotsa woofing"

I hear what you're saying. They are just TV commercials, after all. But who knows? Maybe some of those woofers might catch a glimpse of a better way of life. One can only hope.

“If you feel offended, that’s bad for the product.”

Good point, I’m as white as milk and I liked the Uncle BEN and Aunt Jemima pictures. They looked like people I wish I could have known personally.
