Allstate Insurance is running three TV ads that depict white males as psychos or fools. Meanwhile, everyone who isn't a white male is depicted in a favorable light.
The good news is that there are a few ways to make sure Allstate takes a hit for such racism. I'll get to that in a minute.
The three ads are:
- "Check First Bark" (has a white male barking at his boss, contrasted with a well-behaved black male in the background): youtube.com/watch?v=YRSG3o749Ms
- "Check First Jumbotron" (contrasts a white male *stealing candy from a kid* with a black male who stops him): youtube.com/watch?v=lUjKQFTeLis
- "Check First Bevo" (contrasts a while male who lets the U Texas mascot loose with a Hispanic male notices this and tries to retrieve the mascot): youtube.com/watch?v=tsyRq6n_e0M
What you can do about these ads are:
- Contact the schools involved, especially if you have some link to the school or their area. The schools are the Universities of Texas, Michigan, and Georgia. They undoubtedly received some money from Allstate, but if they end up looking bad they'll be wary of doing something similar again.
- Contact your local Allstate agent or regional headquarters, especially if you're an Allstate customer (and, if you are, drop them).
- Leave comments on Allstate's social media. Make sure the comments are designed to discredit Allstate to current and potential customers.
- Urge others to do those things too.
“I called the company NYK”
Correction: the company is NYX.
Please don’t capitalize black. Don’t encourage them.
That’s it!! I’ve had enough. I’m going the illegals route and drive without insurance, that’ll showem 😁
I was using speech to text on my phone while driving. It always capitalizes those things.

I’ll have to try that text-to-speech (or speech-to-text) thing sometime. Gotta be easier than “typing” on one of those godforsaken virtual keyboards on a cell phone.
oh certainly, I swear by speech to text the only problem is they make a lot of mistakes and so you almost have to proofread it afterwards, but if you’re driving, and you’re just trying to do something quick, it can be kind of bad.
I have USAA. They don’t care what color anyone is. All money is green.
And, once they let in non service members and their immediate families, my rates skyrocketed. So much for being “for service members”.
True, but that's because you play the best players you can get, and most of them are black. In any other business, if hiring the best you can get results in too few "minorities" on your staff, you're tarred as racist.
They actually complained when one white guy was added to the US Mens Olympic Basketball team.
If you do so, remember to review the results before hitting "send". A lot of similar sounding words (and some NOT so similar) come out wrong.
