That would be Godwin, not Godman.
Commercials like Liberty Mutual’s are stupid but innocuous. The ones everyone is complaining about in this thread are a form of bullying. That’s what has people’s hackle up.
“White people ARE NOT MARGINALIZED. Never have been. Probably never will be. Stop whining.”
Guess you’ve never heard of Rhodesia or South Africa.
“I’m out....reading more books for entertainment.”
I’ve been doing that for more than sixty years.
“...the black guy was actually the Duke of Ellington.”
Sure it wasn’t the Count of Basie?
“I never had a new car in my life and I am almost 70.”
I am 70, and I’ve owned a lot of vehicles in my life. Only three were new, off the lot; and not a ONE of them would even remotely be considered luxurious.
“The author overlooks an important point. Whites may be 58% of the population, but I suspect they are a much smaller portion of the viewing audience for broadcast (“free”) television.
Let’s be brutally honest here. TV commercials are designed to appeal to not-so-intelligent people who spend a lot of time watching television and are easily swayed by a sales pitch. I’m actually pleased that Caucasians — especially men who are not openly gay — are disappearing from these stupid commercials.”
I think that you have hit on something here...who is going to create targeted advertising that has no audience?
“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.”
This!
I know history quite well, and I’m plenty old. And nobody is being removed from any positive societal portrayal. The funniest part is it’s this exact same kind of complaining from minority groups that are why this is happening. People want to see themselves on TV. I don’t know why. I get nothing from seeing white guys on TV, regardless of how they’re portrayed. But there’s a subsection in every demographic that really really wants to see themselves. So they try to include everybody. Problem is that just changes who whines. The real solution is for people to stop needing to see themselves on TV to feel validated.
Way to move the goal posts. As for what’s gone on there, well that’s called revenge. White people spent a lot of time doing crappy things for non-whites in those places, and the worm done turned.
“Good point, I know, other than for sports, I haven’t watched anything on the “free” networks for years.”
I’m pretty much the same way. And for watching movies on TV, I have some cable channels that show old or pre-woke movies. Unfortunately, some of them have commercials.
Pretty sure everyone notices this lopsided PC stuff as well as the constant ads with homosexuals. I tune out totally it seems because I can hardly ever remember what the ad is for.
I don’t know how you manage to find and post things that quickly.
Wonderful...
Critical theory comes in countless different flavors, the foremost of which today is known as "critical race theory" founded by red diaper baby Obama's good buddy from Harvard, Derreck Bell. (By the way, Obama tried to hide his friendshp with Bell and might have gotten away with it except for a pesky little video which shows him introducing Bell at a Harvard rally and later hugging him.

Other critical theory "flavors" include critical gender theory, Latino critical race theory (LatCRT) .....and now it would appear even "critical vax theory" in which the vaccinated are set against the unvaccinated with a view to eventually establishing a social credit system such as that established by the Chinese Communist Party. But we should not be surprised. This is what Communists do!!!
The "class struggle" used to be confined to economics, but when the world revolution turned out not to be as "inevitable" as the communists anticipated, they adopted the strategy of Antonio Gramsci and morphed the "class struggle" from a purely economic class struggle to a cultural class struggle known as "cultural Marxism" embodied in modern times in places such as the Frankfurt School which left Nazi Germany and set up shop at one of Obama's other alma maters - New York's Columbia University here in the United States.
Cultural Marxism operates chiefly by infiltrating the legitimate cultural institutions of society - both secular and religious - and corrupting them from within.
Again, "critical theory" is simply another name for "the class struggle" and the class struggle is simply about setting one class of people against the other(vis a vis the creation of a so-called "oppresser" vs. a so-called "oppressed")with a view to provoking or contributing to the "world revolution."

Why?
Caucasians are not pushing back at all.
We should riot...at the media outlets.
“LOL, you want white people in Commercials, you have to watch the Spanish channels.”
That’s a fact.
yep. on comedy central they have alot-alot of condom commercials- always a lily white idiot girl and a black kid with sideshow bob hair.
I should be grateful they are practicing birth control, i guess.
“I know history quite well,”
I wonder.
