Phones? Now I know P&G didn't actually make the ad but whoever signed off on its production and release should be fired. Who is their ad agency? This kind of crap does NOT help promote better relatons between folks at all.

Their phone:

(800) 612-0132.

Call them, tell them what you think and your future purchasing intentions.

It is agitprop.

By now, it is obvious that all media is political, especially advertising.

P&G should select a country that aligns more closely with their “corporate values,” re-locate there, and refuse to make their wares available to the racist United States.

Of course, they’d be out of business in less than a year.

Most likely source is this woman. She was once the Diversity Officer and is now Advisor to the Chairman and CEO David Taylor.

I would boycott P&G products but I think they are one of the ten corporations that owns hundreds of other companies that make just about everything you buy.

I"ll see if I can find that chart.

Who is their ad agency?

Leo Burnett in Chicago, which is owned by a media conglomerate named Publicis Groupe in France.

Good luck!

“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.

Nothing like antagonizing 60% of the population, you idiots. I buy no P&G products, so I can’t boycott them more.
