There is now a TurboTax Income Tax software commercial ad which features a black male who spits 3 times on a white male victim. It is the most divisive, hateful, and racist commercial ever televised.
Yet over 100 have upvoted it on YouTube, and no one has downvoted it! Perhaps YouTube hid the downs. Please consider switching to TaxAct, or H&R Block, or Jackson Hewitt, or another tax software company. BOYCOTT TURBOTAX!

Yes, spitting in the man’s face is rude. And yes, the white man was overweight. Calling him slovenly is adding additional judgment. IMO
"Introducing the new MegaChipolteBurger"—[cue black woman yowling] Yowwwwl!! Aeeeeeeeeeeee! Yowl!
THANKS for clarifying that! I didn’t even read that part of the description. My bad.
I did un-vote negative and voted POSITIVE.
My business mgr used to use QuickBooks by Intuit, and I’ll get their address and write a scathing letter.
Today I saw a commercial for “Spell On You” perfume. The model was a striking blonde with beautiful blue eyes. I figured I’d buy some, and then saw the price.
I’m so glad I cancelled cable and don’t even watch TV, although I do get bombarded with it on the internet, occasionally.
Even with black coworkers I was on friendly terms (with the very exception of a very few), they always had to bring race or politics, or they would go, Mmmm, MMmm, (shaking their heads) in the breakroom watching the news about Trump, and make sure they talked about issues when a White person was within a earshot. Been putting up with it for decades, and tired of those big, crybabies.
Can’t wait to move out of this area.
Absolutely.
As always, the comments are the best part.
I rarely watch commercial TV these days anyway, I only catch a glimpse during sporting events, I can only imagine how it is on other shows.
The ones I watch, usually have the whites being the fools, and the blacks as the wise and smart ones.
Occam’s Razor. It’s the path of least resistance. White people generally don’t complain, or frankly, most have abandoned commercial TV anyway, so advertisers are catering to the audience. It’s just less risk to put black people in commercials, to keep the BLM types at bay. Sure, people like us notice and comment on it, but we won’t lose sleep over it, we just get on with our lives.
It is not excuse making. I refuse to play their game. There are infinitely bigger issues. A difference of opinion is not trolling. It is an opinion. We have been playing the lefts game too long. They have drug us down and beat us with experience. When did conservatives become so petty, triggered and offended at every slight or rub? Disappointing.
I use the Brave Browser so it blocks out a lot of ads. Youtube has some great old movies and cult classics on it, uploaded by users.
The left plays brass knuckles hard ball ALL the time 24/7. Their own strategists say this.
Considering that our Constitutional Republic hangs by a single spiders thread we cannot play nice-nice ala BooHoo Boehner, Rinomney, Collins, Murkey, even McConnell et al.
Would that not be the case but it is so.
“You WANT to be outraged ...” “...but you necessarily have to adopt the “see racism everywhere” mantra of the left.
Sorry, but Wrong,.
Because of their successful agenda, there IS racism everywhere. To wit: If an alien were to come to the UnitedStates, viewed our media all venues he would certainly conclude that blacks, POC, women and homosexuals comprise 95% of the US population, and the 5% white males are morons.
Cannot just gloss over/not call out the left’s racism,
How’s that workin’ out ?!
“Content of character, not color of skin.”
If you see everything through the lens of race, then you’ve been brainwashed into adopting CRT, just from a slightly different perspective.
Sad.
This.
I said he was ‘portrayed’ as slovenly. Do you disagree with that assessment?
‘I said he was ‘portrayed’ as slovenly. Do you disagree with that assessment?’
Ive been called slovenly before myself.
Black man spitting into a white mans face three times.
So seeing racism is adopting CRT?
I can hear you now: “It’s only a commercial.””It’s beneath us to notice.”
Yeah well, it’s a pervasive result of the left commandeering the culture.
Don’t believe me? watch television and prove me wrong.
We can and we will. Only by engaging them do we give them more to push against. A response gives them a way to keep the topic fresh. If we ignore them, they will make fools of themselves. When we engage we are all fools.
