Looking for a TV commercial with a real white person.

You may have found a key to this. It seems the left is removing things that honor people so they can rewrite history to claim certain types of people were always oppressed. You can’t do that if they are shown to be successful.

This is just Damned if you do and Damned if you don’t.

Every TV show needs black characters.
Every commercial needs black actors.
Couples need to be portrayed as interacial all the time.

Black person selling pancakes???? How racist! Get her off the box!

I don’t know what the rules are anymore. I think the only rule is: “You’re doing it wrong.”

The Left is all about destroying worthy legacies. Aunt Jemima was, I believe, intended to honor a hearty Southern breakfast. The image was racially positive, not negative. It is a great pity that Corporate management can't understand the difference!

Reality Is Not A Grievance

Grievances & Grievance Mongers

America: Based On Experience & Reason

The difference goes to the very issue of developing the importance of mutual respect.

The woke-corporate and leftist answer to “racism” is to remove any references to black characters from previous society and culture

...while at the same time insist that there is black in every commercial.

When will this madness end?

Soon there will be only white or Hispanic trademark reps. All traces of black will be gone. Then there will be riots because only white people are on packages

No, you see you misunderstand...They dont want to remove blacks/hispanics from trademarks. They just want to remove the stereotypes. Proper reprsentation. Like this...

Oh...wait...

Yep.

I think it’s kind of racist to be removing all of the black characters. They will have no representation out there in advertising land.

Not sure if the people who make these decisions thought this one out.

Maybe black people shouldn’t be used in commercials either(whoa that’s kindnof racist too, innit?)

It’s almost like they are being erased from our culture.

I wonder if setting up these riots is being done to punish the black people who are starting to wake up. It’s mostly white leftists burning down black owned businesses and wrecking black neighborhoods.

They’re always doing nefarious crap and disguising it as some kind of support or benevolent gesture.

I predict a flat market for the newly redesigned Aunt Jemima.

The image of Aunt Jemima will be replaced by Stacy Abrams.

Now that’ll really boost their sales!

You just let the cat out of the bag. This is the Democrats forcefully rounding up the blacks to bring them back to their leftist plantation. Typical racist democrats.

Blacks are still a smaller percentage on television or elsewhere than the gays. You watch any commercials, you would think the USA is 85%+ homosexual.
