Blacks are now so over-represented on television that it’s become comical. Moreover, they’re always cast as alpha males; smart, upwardly mobile and socially dominant, while whites are cast as stupid, cowardly, goofy and subservient to black omnipotence.

Just about every drama or movie or TV ad made in the new PC era is unwatchable because of this unrealistic placement and characterization of blacks.

If an alien race picked up our TV signals then visited earth they would be shocked to find a totally white family - one with no different race parents and no black and brown kids mixed in with white kids at the breakfast table.

And even more shocked to find a white guy who could manage to toast a slice of bread on his own or buy a bag of dog food without screwing it up.

They would think it was single black women raising 6 or 7 kids from anonymous sperm donors who were the financial geniuses on Wall Street, who ran the trains, ships and heavy equipment, designed and built rockets and satellites, developed wonder drugs, solved the crimes, and rescued stupid white men who were always putting their families in danger.

I was looking at some magazine the other day — I forget which one but it was just an ordinary magazine. It seemed like close to 100% of the advertisers had decided that a negro should be the face of their product. Ad after ad, black face after black face. When a white appeared, it was only because she was being hugged by her black partner.

Have you noticed in department store ads (newspapers, mailers, magazines) there is usually a black person on each page of the ad (or nearly every page)? There are no asians, no latinos, just blacks. Do they honestly believe 50% of their customers are black? Penneys has never recovered from its usage of lesbian/homosexual "families" in its ad(s). These same stores are losing customers slowly and going belly up and cannot for the life of them figure out why. The politification of advertisers upon us has affected their bottom line financially, but like Hollywood, they just don't care.

They are always cast as supervisors or partners. True life shows that feature the criminality of blacks are no longer readily available for streaming on Netflix or Amazon. The truth is out there, we're just not permitted to see it. What we are given instead is fantasy, fiction and disproportionate "diversity".

The new Roseanne show is doomed before it begins. There are NO families with cross dressing kids I've ever known. This is another leftism indoctrination technique/attempt that separates them from us.

More mixed marriages? I can’t remember the last time I saw a prime time commercial with a same race white couple. And blacks are now 70 percent of the population. Commercials told me so.

“The Party” Ha. So 60’s, In every shot the director must have been saying to the actors: “Ok, this scene is silly - so try to make it even more so.”

#3: "It seemed like close to 100% of the advertisers had decided that a negro should be the face of their product."

Yeah what's up with that? Same with TV commercials. Another "funny" thing is that when it comes to TV shows there aren't any black criminals.

Despite the disproportionate amount of violent crime attributable to their demographic, their are scant few Negroes portrayed as criminals on TV.

The all time classic in this respect are the home alarm system commercials where the perp is always white, usually a soap opera handsome perp wearing a black watch cap. No one I know is fooled by that. Even low information voters notice they are being had and played for a fools.

In any case, I don't see a problem with using tan-in-can on actors. Everything else is a painted veneer, why not the actors? And besides, Arabs are at some level genetically closer to white.

If the gauleiters of entertainment want to express displeasure, how 'bout starting with the incongruent cast of Hamilton in which our white founders are portrayed as Negroes. Or that Broadway musical about Tolstoy's War and Peace where Negroes are cast as Russians. Why isn't that cultural appropriation? Crickets.

I just had that conversation with my brother yesterday - seems every other contestant is black and they are a small part of the audience.....I told my brother that it couldn’t be a coincidence because as soon as one wins and goes up on stage, another one gets called to come on down.

Hey...I “brown up” every time I stay in the sun too long. What’s wrong with that?

Did they complain when they painted the “Tin Man” silver, in the Wizard of Oz? Or, then they painted Mr. Data, in Star Trek, with stark, white, paint?

It’s all ACTING, people. The PORTRAYING of characters in a motion picture storyline.

This is not a national EEO test to arrive at quotas and try...emphasizing “TRY” and appease every shade, of every skin color in the world.

It’s makeup...like ALL actors wear, to make a point.

If I was Disney, I’d just cast all, lily-white actors (you know, like Elizabeth Taylor, playing Cleopatra, and let it go at that.

YOU CAN’T PLEASE’M, so, TEASE’m. They’re NEVER going to be satisfied unless you give the parts (and the money) to THEM...PERSONALLY.

Giving “direction” to crowds of “diverse” actors - all speaking differently languages - is nearly impossible.

Either that, or just live with the cartoon version, and scrap the live version...putting hundreds of people out of work.

I would have thought that lefty group - like the ones who support “piss-Christ” would be more lenient when it comes to artistic expression.

Not to mention a president that for 8 years gutted the country, gutted the military, and placed thousands of Africans in positions
for which their only qualification was his favorite color.

Are you referring to the most gigantic criminal hoax ever perpetuated in the history of mankind?

The muslim mole that democrats put into the White House?

The traitorous bastard who built and protected ISIS?

The same anti-American who stole billions from US taxpayers to hand over to his fellow muslims in Iran to finance their global terrorist network?

And who can forget the girlish glee of the libtards as they swooned over Obama and his Hope N' Change back in 2008?

And then they handed him $800 billion in "stimulus" money that just disappeared into vapor and foreign bank accounts!

Iran May Have Received as Much as $33.6 Billion in Cash, Gold Payments From U.S.

New questions emerge on several billions paid out to Iran by Obama admin

September 8, 2016

Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.

Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.

A total of $11.9 billion was ultimately paid to Iran, but the details surrounding these payments remain shrouded in mystery, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

In total, "Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals," Dubowitz disclosed.

If Will Smith is Asian... and the Iranian protestors have reminded us that they are Aryan... then anyone can be Asian.

As the Latino population grows, I think this is going to change. Asians are not “victimy” enough, but Blacks and Latinos are going to end up fighting for top billing.
