WASHINGTON – A new video ad portraying America as a racist society, produced by consumer product giant Procter & Gamble, is being met with fierce criticism.
The ad, titled “The Talk,” depicts scenes of black mothers warning their children about the dangers of being black in America, how the system is stacked against them and why they should fear police.
Building on the company’s decade-old “My Black is Beautiful” campaign, the commercial begins with a black girl, from what appears to be the 1940s era, holding a white doll telling her mother that a woman at the store told her she was pretty for a black girl.
“That is not a compliment,” the mother responds. “You are beautiful, period. OK?”
The next scene depicts a young black boy running away from a group of white boys, which transitions into a mother’s explaining to her son why there is nothing he can do to stop whites from calling him the ‘N’-word.
“There are some people who think you don’t deserve the same privileges just because of what you look like,” another mother tells her son. “It’s not fair. It’s not.”

“Whites find the commercial problematic, BET wrote in a commentary, because ‘a large chunk of the white community is attempting to silence the very real experiences of Black folks in America.’”
Can we talk hard numbers?
Per capita, how often are cops of any race harmed by WHITE people? BLACK people? ASIAN people? HISPANIC people? Etc.
Per capita, how much WHITE cop abuse of power happens to BLACK people?
Per capita, how much WHITE on BLACK crime is there?
Per capita, how much BLACK on WHITE crime is there?
Per capita, how much BLACK on BLACK crime is there?
There HAS been an attempt to silence these things. But not in the way that BET claims.
And the biggest thing that the “black community” in America (if there is such a thing) is failing to grasp is that the Democrat party always has and continues to be the greatest threat to their lives, liberty, and happiness. Yet the vast majority of blacks vote Democrat.

Oh, dear. We’d have to change brands on a lot of stuff that we have been buying for years.
I guess it is time to complain to them... then work on finding decent substitutes for all of those brands. Especially the paper towels—I go through a lot of those.
I remember the moon & star but could not find it.
Google must have deep-sixed that algorithm. /sarc
...and 13 stars!
NOT THE CANDY!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
French. That ‘splains a lot then.
No, we can NOT talk facts. You know better than that.
Agitprop
Target was a business case.
Nothing like antagonizing 60% of the population, you idiots. I buy no P&G products, so I can’t boycott them more.
Well, buy one and then return it immediately.
