But when you watch television ads these days, its the strong, quiet, intelligent black man vs the oafish, stupid, childlike or criminal middle class white man. Or as in the Allstate commercials, the above mentioned black man vs the evil, here comes trouble white guy.
I make it a point to mentally register which products protray white men as stupid and avoid those products at all costs, including ADT.
Wow. I'm racking my brain trying to think of one major company that isn't in the business of running ads portraying white males as stupid, oafish, wasteful, greedy pigs.
We are whistling past the graveyard with mass media and government not being honest about the nature of our violent social problems. This will not end well.
