About those commercials………..I would say 90% of these commercials that predominantly feature blacks, requires them to dance or jive. If I was black and watching them, this would be very racist to me.
No idea how this works but I would assume advertising companies have talent agencies, so what do they say when planning a commercial, “hey, Bill can you do a commercial with a black family jiving and rapping, how about a black lady in combat boots mowing her lawn and dancing while her dreads flip around.
“Oh and Bill, make sure there are no whites in these commercials unless they look like they could possibly be half black, but whatever you do NO BLONDES”.
I've seen some of those BOOM-CHAKA-LAKA-LAKA pieces. Hilariously sickening; I'd be offended, too.
Also though, I see them camping, flyfishing, working on and driving antique cars, going to work, investing in stocks, actually shopping and paying for stuff, golfing, woodworking -- all kinds of things you seldom see in real life. So I guess it is a chance for us to see how the other half doesn't live.
That black lady with the combat boots should be insulted. It’s all about MONEY. The problem is...the advertisers have lost their “target” along the way.
