Why are Caucasians Vanisihing in TV Commercials?
American Thinker.com ^ | January 8, 2022 | Jacob Fraden

Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For a financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places they cut into the action of films, lectures and concerts, tearing apart musical performances. There's no escaping commercials, we've grown accustomed to them, and they become almost as much a part of our lives as food, toilets, and sleep.

In the United States today, the White population (not including Hispanics) is 57.8%. In real life Caucasians are still in the majority, but now on TV and the Internet they are swept under the rug like trash. Blacks compose 14% of the U.S. population but appear in 50% of commercials. White actors now appear for promotion of health insurance, gold, loans and some medicines. Moreover, if a White person appears in a commercial, he/she is usually old, sick, a freak, or at the very least, an appendage to a Black partner. If there's a doctor on the screen, he's usually Black, while the patient is usually White. Caucasian young men appear in only 4% of the commercials! If some aliens began to study the population of Planet Earth through our TV commercials they would have a somewhat distorted picture of Americans, to put it mildly.

So why do advertisers ignore the long-standing rules of marketing, and to the detriment of their own financial interests,

My question, too. I thought the idea of marketing was to do the demographics first, then pitch to the group with the $$$$$$$$$$$ and lifestyle to buy your product

Indeed!

Every ‘diverse’ was in that shot.

Couldn’t EACH group represented have their OWN ad??

For me it is simple. I see an ad or commercial that is obviously race-preferential, race-pandering or social-justice engineering and I check that product/service off in my “never use” list.

That’s hilarious. Two levels even. They’ll never get it though.

Corporations are wussies, they take the path of least resistance, and they figure if it keeps the wolves at bay, then so be it.

Yep. It’s outrageous. I started seeing it about a year ago.

And the ONLY white males ever portrayed are betamale goofball dorknozzles who couldn’t screw the cap on a soy milk bottle.

It’s all by design, to reorient whites out of the mainstream of society. Notice also that there are no white families allowed any more. They all have to be mixed race.

My issue has nothing to do with religion or ethics or race but with REALITY. I think everything needs to be tethered to reality or it doesn’t work-—even if only slightly tethered (i.e., a teenager who gets super powers because he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Ok, a stretch, but . . . .)

It’s the same reason you won’t find ANY cartoon/animated series or kids’ series with boy heroes any more. And the same reason many if not most of the action pictures have to have a 120-pound woman throwing around NAVY Seals. Men and boys are not allowed to have any power in Hollywood-—until they need a hit. Then they find Daniel Craig, or the Rock, or Chris Hemsworth.

I have taken to buying full series of old shows on DVD. No commercials and made long before the woke era. I am no longer triggered by the modern idiocy of Political Correctness.

I hate current TV. I can’t even watch sports or auto racing anymore, because the commercials are so intolerable.

That grabbed my attention something fierce... so off to search...

Block ads at home using Pi-hole and a Raspberry Pi

The most intriguing part for me is that it can be used with cellular comms via vpn set up. Using a cheap Raspberry Pi computer is sweet.

On the bright side, most actors are leftists, so, if white liberal actors can’t find jobs anymore... well... I’m sure they’re happy to take one for the Diversity team.

Take your bride to see Hamilton on Broadway!

Make sure she knows that Alexander Hamilton (the most influential pro Federalist) owned slaves.

"The telescreen recieved and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard.
 
There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork.
It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to.
 
You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

All except for
a) Action movies that MUST have a payday (so you have Daniel Craig, the Rock, Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, even Tom Hanks can be manly).
b) Rap music, where males absolutely dominate, and which to my chagrin remains immensely popular.

“COMMERCIALS”, and by that I mean TOO MANY COMMERCIALS, are WHY, in large part, I have not had a functioning TV in my house in over 10 years.

Add to COMMERCIALS the fact that out of 500 channels NOT ONE held any interest for me and it was THE END of the TV.

Oh, and Cable ran the price up to $135 bucks! Ridiculous!

At least on my computer I can click commercials off or mute them.

Bwa hahahah. I know the ad you’re referring to.

I simply make a note to, if at all possible, never by the product in such an ad.
