During a commercial break, they had six straight commercials with all black actors.

It's all in the name of being "woke" in order to address the age old trope of "not enough blacks on TV". You see the same thing happening in news, movies and TV shows as well. As if that will resolve the issues of fatherless homes and rampant crime in "communities of color". Somehow, by putting non-whites in the overwhelming majority of commercials the self-esteem of the people in the "underrepresented communities" will be lifted.

Judging by the representation presented in commercials, one would think that 85% of the US population is black and the other 15% are alphabet/rainbow club members. White men are shown as the clueless buffoons who need a woman or a "POC" (sometimes both) to save them from their own lack of awareness. If you have to look to the fake world of TV to get a sense of self-validation, you have deeper issues that woke hollywood cannot solve for you.

Take the spending power of white hetero men out of the economy and it will collapse in spectacular fashion.

The only reason they put all those minorities in TV commercials is to piss off White people and create racial division.

It wasn’t like that before Trump. The same way nobody was screaming about misinformation and there was no fact-checking before Trump.

The Populist movement is a threat to the ruling class. And they are reacting in all sorts of both blatant and subtle ways. And always in unison with each other.

Corner drug dealers and garden variety thugs really don't care about black representation in commercials, TV shows, and movies.
