For decades, blacks were depicted in films and radio, if at all, as bumbling servants and morons, or loyal Mammy types. Very few blacks appeared in programs or ads during the prime era of TV. So some of the ads addressed in this thread are misguided attempts to redress anachronistic wrongs a half-century past.
If seeing people like themselves depicted as smart, successful, wealthy, etc., inspires black people and lifts them up, that’s good, and I think we’ll all survive.
Depicting whites as pathetic losers, bumbling idiots, clowns and criminals is an odious attempt to sell products by stoking and stroking the assumed resentments of the intended buyers (blacks and self-loathing white leftists). That’s an insult all around. Companies that push racist propaganda/social engineering, or use racism to market products should be shamed out of existence.
Yep. I have no problem with that at all.
The marxists seem to need to believe that we must be divided into oppressors/oppressed or winners/losers and I think that is wrong. I think that there should be content that inspires everyone to believe that if they work hard they have the chance to be a winner no matter their sex or skin color. For black people to be winners it does not require that white people become losers.

Our local bank ads show black families—dad, mom, child or children.
The problem is that I have not seen a black family like that in our area in years.
Not one!
We are more likely to see a moose walk through the center of town.
