Probably should have posted this in the Humor section.

Horsebleep!

Because some junkie died in police custody, we need to see more black people in TV commercials? Why?

[BipolarBob]

Yeah, they have white actors and actresses being clueless, inept and/or abusive and needing schooled by the cool black guy/gal. Some commercials are so bad I flip the channel as soon as they appear.

[RedMonqey]

Somebody has to play the dumb, clueless heterosexual man, so white guys are it

[CatOwner]

Nearly every time I walk in on my wife when she is watching TV and there is a commercial playing, I rarely if ever see a white male in those commercials (and if I do, there’s a non-white female with him).

[unixfox]

More white guys with black women.

Like THAT happens all the time.

In June 2020, just weeks after a white police officer murdered unarmed George Floyd……

Goebbels said if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it

[Gay State Conservative]

And Saint George wasn’t murdered...unless you want to charge his Fentanyl dealer with murder.

[cherry]

its bs....I have watched several commercials in a row all featuring mostly blacks and blacks as the main character......I vow to not patronize those that I remember....

[dforest]

Not true at all. Most commercials are all black or mixed couples anymore. White people get treated in commercials like all men used to be treated when it was females being pushed as superior to men in ads on TV.

[peggybac]

Not true.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hispanics are not a race. Hispanics can be White too. This false statistic is a fraud the government perpetuates to diminish the White presence in the population.

Hispanic is not a race.

Negroes are about 13% of the population, and they appear in at least 50% to 80% of all commercials, often in preposterous and implausible situations. A group of Eskimos eating supper in an igloo? What do you know, two of them are black!

[Flaming Conservative]

You could have fooled me.

[Varda]

I’m not a supporter of racism so I boycott the products that refuse to portray white people or have them playing idiots.

[brownsfan]

If commercials were your window into America, you’d swear America was over 50% black and most couples were interracial.

[utax]

Not on the (few) TV programs i watch. You would think the county was 50% or more black. Maybe matches the demographics for Atlanta, Chicago or DC.

[maddog55]

There’s a ton of fag ads all over TV. I’m sick of em.

[TheDon]

Not sure why nonwhites are on TV.
TV was invented by a white man after all.

[Allegra]

Oh, have straight, white people been appearing in commercials again?
