Funny. I'm a black woman. I saw the ad. I didn't believe it was racist.
"I'm a black woman...I didn't believe it was racist."
I agree with you. Now consider this. How would you feel if they had selected a pretty black woman to say the same thing? I think you might have cringed a little ( I know I would). Could we agree an argument would have been made that black women were being shown as trashy...therefore, it's racist? You and I both must agree the notion of racism is moot in this particular instance. It was only a 5-second portion of a larger ad listing a good number of reasons for rejecting Ford's bid. When someone posts a racist ad, I will join with you 100% to oppose it, but that's not what we see here.
That's because you're not racist.
You have to think Tennessee is full of slack jaw yokels to think the ad is racist. The newsies on the coasts really should get some "foreign" correspondants from fly over America.
