One of the several downsides in watching too much football this past weekend was watching too many TV commercials. And although I had grown used to the stupid white man trope, now a staple of comic advertising, I was unprepared for AT&Ts impressively racist and sexist Just OK is not OK campaign.
The larger message of the campaign is that when it comes to wireless networks, just OK is not OK. According to some dubious test, AT&T is allegedly Americas best network. To launch this concept, AT&T and its marketing geniuses at the Omnicom Group designed a series of scenarios in which an incompetent white professional or service worker offers his services to a wary customer of color.
A cavalier white male surgeon tells a patient he just got reinstated... well not officially. The Hispanic-appearing male who is about to be operated on and his wife react nervously to the surgeons proven ineptitude. Lena Waithe, a black lesbian (natch), provides the voiceover, announcing, Just OK is not OK especially when it comes to your network. As a stand-alone, this ad is actually pretty amusing. Its the only one that is.
A goofy-looking white male carnival worker responds to a black mother who asks if the Ferris wheel she is about to ride with her son is safe. I assembled it myself last night, he tells her. I think I did an OK job. The son then asks, What if something bad happens? Says the carnival worker, We just move to another town. And yes, Lena tells us, Just OK is not OK.

In Oregon...constantly
AT&T apparently replaced “Caymans” with “Islands” in their ‘OK Tax Professional’ ad, after they got complaints.
That indicates that the campaign from the Caymans was successful and the fact that the ad is still on shows that complaints about it being anti-white has failed so far. And, that’s because opponents are doing it wrong (which includes not doing anything).
What I’ve done is tweeted a few of of the people in these ads: @bobstephenson, @mattycardarople, etc. pointing out they’re modern-day Steppin Fetchits. I’ve also looked up those replying to AT&T, H&R Block, etc and pointed out how racist the ads are.
I also do that in a big tent way. Others might play partisan games or use the issue just for clicks, and that helps those companies by marginalizing their opposition. You want as many people as possible opposing their ads.
To actually do something, work on undercutting the companies and the actors to their audience. If enough do that they’ll get the message.
But they've gravitated in high numbers to the media and entertainment industries, because once they achieved power in those industries, they hire other gays, until they pretty much run the whole thing.
But since they fell short, they are running their hand picked queer for President.
Mayor Pete is the queer candidate, waving the queer flag, flaunting his queerness. His only qualification is Democrat queer
Mayor Pete is queer?
