I did see two black men snuggling in a prescription drug ad recently. Ad agencies have bent over backwards to change anything traditional and ridiculing white men is at the epicenter I refuse to support any company that goes along with such things and oftentimes tell friends.
Only?
Just?
Only?
Only?
Gee what’s % of blacks on sports and tv prime time commercials nowadays?
“diversity improves”?
hell, suddenly EVERY TV ad features blacks as do ALL of the news shows on TV and every streaming channel, including all the premium ones ...
too bad, though, that they were so focused on “diversity” that they forgot to make shows that were actually entertaining vs. simply being filler dreck to provide “diversity” ... case in point is the totally dreadful 4th season of Fargo ...
Occasionally the first “Jake from State Farm” commercial is shown again—it is the same actor, but viewers might not have noticed he was black in the first commercial.
I work for myself. I guess that puts me in kind of a predicament.
It’s called “woke-washing”. If you looked at shows and commercials out these days, you would think white people are only 1/4 to 1/3 of the population.
Those calling for increased diversity, are themselves not diverse enough.
They most work themselves out of existence, in favor of more diversity-qualified callers for diversity. In the interest of fairness.
No, he wasn’t Black in the original commercial, he is White. The same White guy is now the one who is asked ‘do they ask you what you wear?’ And he slowly answers ‘yeah’.
If you look it up, the original guy was a real State Farm agent from Illinois. But he is White.
Hollywood can keep pushing its diversity agenda and I’ll just keep their Product off of my T.V.
Thank God for DVD’s.
Saw this on another site.
You don’t need to watch any more TV shows. Here’s a rundown of all of them:
Heroic POC or woman + heroic POC sidekicks
Wise woman teacher/leader
Weak, effeminate White man helper/orbiter
Raysiss White villain(s)
Greedy capitalist
Stilted, correct dialogue (but anti-White)
Numbing computer-made action
If there’s a fight, the 130 pound woman easily takes down and knocks out two or three 230 pound men, using kicks and karate chops
Plot solved by “working together”
An hour you’ll never get back.
“Thank God for DVD’s.”
Amen. Won a bet with my youngest a couple of weeks ago, so she had to sit down and watch Dr. Zhivago with me.
"totally dreadful 4th season of Fargo"
“It was pitiful :/ “
especially considering how brilliant the first three seasons were ...
I flip off any show that tries to shoehorn in a character that does not fit. Race, color etc matters not. The story does and you can tell right away the execs had a quota to fill in too many shows.
Frozen (original) was magical.
Frozen 2 was “woke” and horrible. “White people are evil” message.
