Pop Culture, Commercials, and White Guys

It isn’t difficult to find people complaining about how “people of color” are treated in America today. Turn on the TV, and you’ll see highly-paid NFL players lamenting this. White liberals are constantly bashing “whiteness”, and attending lectures and classes wherein white people are variously termed devils, demons, oppressors, or some other thing. It is the same for men in general, as opposed to women.
Whites, and white men in particular, are generally seen as squares. They can’t dance, can’t sing, are uncool, lame, stupid, and as the famous movie title once explained for us, white men can’t jump. If white men do anything interesting or cool, it will be seen as cultural appropriation, denounced as racism, or become an Obama “you didn’t build that” situation. White people either have no culture (that link is interesting, because many white American liberals genuinely believe that they have no culture), or their culture is based primarily on white supremacy.
I agree. And it is just stupid.
“I’m sure it must have been a hunger emergency”
Not for me. I was helping an elderly lady in a nursing home who got her prescriptions from Walmart, and she always wanted to eat at McDonald’s when we went there. She was in her 80s so I figured she was entitled to eat garbage if she wanted to. :(
If I was an alien that just visited America for the first time and turned on the tv to learn about our culture, I would quickly be convinced that white people were all criminals (alarm commercials), stupid, and inferior to all other races. Particularly the white male.
...also that 50% of the population was gay, bi or gender trans.
I expect posting from this site to be banned soon. It is nice to see a young man that gets it.
And 90% was black, brown, and female.
The one thing white guys do well,but never get credit for, is paying all the bills for the cretins of society.
Leftist think the government creates wealth and not from the hard work and enterprise of its citizens. Wealth comes out of the free air it is government job to distribute it fairty.
Its our penance because, something.
It is one reason your life improves when you stop watching television.
- white guy
- overweight
- incompetent
- stupid
- told off by someone smarter than he is
That was the commercial I was thinking of - thanks. Horrible commercial. I hate it.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Another interesting feature of many commercials is that most ‘blacks’, especially ‘black’ women are very light skinned.
None appear sub-Saharan at all. Also, why do the women all seem to have Shirley Temple hairstyles?
Cultural appropriation, perhaps? The Legacy of Michael Jackson?
Better get a few copies of Logan’s Run when the day comes for that movie and others like it get banned.
It’s just as well I haven’t touched a Little Seizures pizza in decades.
Thank you for sharing; this is on par with CH. Yes, (((they))) are probably targeting it at this very moment.
The “White man is an idiotic douche who’s responsible for every ill and only serves to buy stuff and pay taxes” narrative has been going on for two decades, anyway. It’s way past time more people catch onto it.
It’s more Hollywood social engineering. And it’s just as fictional as any crspfest that they put out.
‘A white kid treating his dad like a slave and the slave, knowing his place, treats the kid like a king’
white fathers in general take it on the chin in these idiot commercials, like the goofy dad at the dinner table with his kids, glued to the smart phones, and the smart, snarky mom says ‘hold on, Voice Guy’ and shuts down the phones so the family can be ‘sociable’...white dads are nothing but grown children in this country, apparently; that these ads keep occurring says more about the hypersensitivity of women than anything else...
LOL!
Humblegunner, this is in fun. I do appreciate your posts; they help keep FR as a real news site.
OTOH, I may start up a blog next week and begin promoting it here. ;) (just kidding!)
Hope you both have a great day! Julie
That’s right; The commercials etc. are not just reinforcing the image of the marginalized white guy, but also serve the dual purpose of encouraging non-whites to put on clothing, care for their offspring, and basically do what white people have done for millennia. While I have to explain this propaganda to my white sons (easy to do - they live in a world where just about everything is made and maintained by white men), the fact is this “fake reality” should be just as insulting to the non-whites they are trying to “fix”.
One angle often overlooked is that much of this advertising is aimed at the last demographics stupid enough to respond to such blatant propaganda - and one of the last demographics that watches television at all.
