Racist ad?
Fox News | 10/24 | Vanity

Posted on 10/24/2006 4:03:50 PM PDT by lawdude

On tonight's SR, Mort Kondrake was asked to comment on the Tennessee satirical ad showing a buxom blond commenting about making Ford.

Kondrake said that showing a Black Man with a White Woman was racist.

My gawd, many Black men in sports and politics seem to have white companions. What am I disunderstanding?

I think the as is accurate and hard hitting (biting) satire.

Kondrake is an idiot. His comment is racist.

The ad is definitely race baiting, making a conscious point to have a white woman flirt with Ford in the ad. Maybe Jesse Helms' ad man is behind this one, good for Corker for repudiating it. That said, it'll probably work, it's Tennessee.

It's Tennessee??!? You need to read up on the history of the Volunteer State. From the East Tennessee Unionists to the present day, there's a lot of places in Tennessee that never bought into the Deep South Democratic racist pattern.

If you're stupid enough to think lou dobbs is a republican, you have bigger problems than just wanting people to bite you, loser.

So if they had used a black chick instead of a white one, you'd be OK with it? I thought the whole ad was great, and everything in it was true. Corker is a pussy for running away from this. You're the one who sounds racist.

Good ad. Good for Corker to repudiate it (right, Karl?). It gets the point across on multiple levels — Ford is way too much of a flake to represent Tennessee in the Senate. Hopefully, it will work!

They're all nuts. Absolutely stark raving mad, the pundits that is. They see racism everywhere, it's truly amazing.

There are thousands and thousands of white women to are either married or have children by black men in Tennessee. No one here is going to believe that this ad is racist in any shape , form or fashion.

This is the funniest political ad I've seen in a long while. Anyone crying racism about it is either from the Northeast or has been around the Northeastern liberal plantation too long.

I played the ad for hubby when he arrived home from work. He has played it over and over again, laughing every time. That is saying something. He tries to avoid paying attention to this sort of thing because it distracts him from work. But he played this one over and over again because it is funny. Especially the part with the man who says, "Let Canada take care of North Ko-Ree-a . . . ." It's just funny!

I think it's just wrong to 'catter' to 'instints!'

If your catter is eating your instants breakfast then we really have a problem in Murka! This is just below hugh and series racism.

OK. I enjoy Brit (lets loose on Fox News Sunday) for asking the right questions, and Charles is great. Mort & Lara (?) don't bother me. Juan often (or is he on Fox News Sunday?) gets on my nerves with his idiotic statements.

Yes. Between that and FancyFord.com, I have reevaluated him. Before this campaign season, I thought he a reasonable, serious Dem. Now, he looks like a horny frat boy.

I guess that I am here on an agenda of my own. However, I felt that maybe my outside, existential point of view may be of some relevance to this post.

I grew up in a multicultural household with both siblings and parents of diverse ethnicities. It was this un-colorblind upbringing that cultivated or cultured my reality. To be colorblind is to ignore the aesthetic display of a cultures beauty. Therefore, isn’t it more of a racist standpoint to be colorblind? Is it not the racists that usually hide behind a cloak of colorblind-ed-ness…?

I am proud to celebrate our society’s diversity; I do not shy away from it by using coy words like colorblind. I am not referring to you directly, this is more of a general question but; if you were of an ethnicity of a darker skin tone and felt that your skin color was beautiful; would you appreciate someone else telling you that they are colorblind and cannot or do not want to see your color.

That is how I understand the word colorblind and what I believe it to mean in its literal sense.
