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,

Do white people even watch “Free TV” anymore, anyway?
It’s not just TV advertising
I deal with hundreds of vendors online and you’d think white people are about 10% of the population based on all the pictures for homepages and product advertisements. Ditto for my bank accounts when I log in there. I think if you look at the homepage on UPS and FedEx you’ll get the impression that there are no white people working for FedEx or UPS.
It is so in your face that one is given to wonder if they aren’t deliberately insulting us, not just sucking up to wokeism.
I remember when the selling point of caBLE WAS THAT IT WAS COMMERCIAL FREE!
Anyone wanna buy a capslock key?
Apparently only really grumpy ones.
The one thing corporations don’t want is to do anything “Controversial”, and the Left gets to define what “Controversial” is now. So, they figure, just put non-whites in commercials and nobody will care. Whites don’t watch “Free TV” anyway.
Uh; because our elected officials have given them so much more disposable income since covid hit??
Hehe I’ve noticed, the guy trying to climb in through the window or steal your identity always looks like your lily white CPA.
Corporations are simply sucking up to the power elite, hoping for preferential treatment.
It is pernicious and as racist as hell, ACTUALLY racist, and will lead to increasing racial marginalization.
I fully expect to have my retirement benefits stripped and my 401k & home confiscated in my old age. I’ll consider myself lucky if I’m not eventually euthanized as a penance for my life lived as a white person.
A little hollering/shouting is necessary at times.
LOL, you want white people in Commercials, you have to watch the Spanish channels.
Yup. Aside from an occasional sports event, I don’t even use basic cable anymore. It’s probably time to cut that off, but I have internet, phone, tv and several streaming services bundled in the cable subscription that I’ve had for years, so I’d have to figure out new paths of access to the services I actually use. I’m getting tempted, because fios beckons and I’ll have to reconfigure when I make that switch.
I wonder how Aaron Rodgers felt about being replaced by Patrick Mahomes.
I watch much more foreign shows now, Korean, Polish, even I found some good Russian series on YouTube.
Maybe most whites don’t care enough to think about these new commercial strategies aimed at minorities. Statues are being torn down, some criminals are being released and the border is wide open with new voters. All these activities have changed the country forever. People on both sides are offended. Each individual has to decide what to watch. Propaganda can be censored and tailored to individual preferences. We have the freedom not to watch.
Just seeing this article reminds me of my dad back in the ‘80s...”I see more blacks on tv than anywhere else in this world!”
So yeah, it’s been going on a while.
I tend to stream a lot of English TV. Blacks are 3% of England’s population, but TV England is more like 30% black. So much so that now Anne Boleyn was black....
“Candace Owens: If a Black woman can play Anne Boleyn, then a white man should play Obama”:
https://www.salon.com/2021/06/04/candace-owens-anne-boleyn-black-obama-white/
I’ll save anyone the effort of giving salon a hit:
“Owens, as usual, has remarkably missed the point, here, which is that people of color playing white historical figures or famous people isn’t the same thing as white people playing people of color. The former poses a meaningful challenge to white supremacist power structures...”
Yeah, because having a white woman play Anne Boleyn is an act of white supremacy. And, for the most part, 97% non-Black England swallowed and said, “Sure, pity they didn’t cast a black trans in the role....”
The god of diversity shall be worshiped.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. I got tired of watching this queer or that queer. I also got tired of watching this freak and that freak. They would not change, so I did.
Maybe the marketing directors of these ad agencies think whites are not the largest target audience anymore. Probably learned this in college math class where 2 + 2 = 7?
>>We have the freedom not to watch.<<
Of course, but it’s more insidious than that. This is subliminal. Even in children’s cartoons.
Just like the LGBTQ agenda inserted in the same. Sometimes it’s barely noticeable, but during a commercial while the theme is selling whatever, you may see a gay couple kiss on a park bench in the background or a pride flag flying from a building.
Very subtle, but constant bombardment targeting younger generations to accept all these things as normal and what not. These producers are clever.
