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,

I have the book and let me tell you, it is an eyeopener. I often suspected that Fascism and Communism might be different sides of the same coin. D'Sousa confirms those suspicions! Both Fascism and Communism are forms of socialism!
The communists have gaslighted us by creating a false dichotomy based on their precious dialectic.( Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis ) Anyone who has studied Aristotelian philosophy will understand why the dialectic is both rationally and practically unworkable. It only looks good on paper but when practically applied to the real world it produces nothing but anarchy and chaos.
One of the axiomatic (self-evident) first principles of philosophy is the law of contradiction - that a thing cannot simultaneously be and not-be in the same species. Let us say for the sake of argument that a "Something" is the Thesis. The true Antithesis to this "Something" would have to be "Nothing" in order for it to be a true Antithesis. Now when you add "Nothing" to this "Something" you don't wind up with a new "Synthesis" which in turn becomes "the new Thesis." What you wind up with is the same "Something" you started out with, but if you slap a new label on this "same old Something" (i.e. "Synthesis") it is possible to gaslight people into being persuaded that this so-called "Synthesis" is something new.
Meet the new boss. He is the same as the old boss.
I’ve used a DVR for years to record my programming. I watch nothing live. I can fast-forward through all that crap, and any part of a program I don’t want to watch, and save myself a lot of frustration.
The question is whether this is sustainable when it comes to marketing. People have to see themselves using a product before they will buy the product.

Maybe it is because most white people are no longer watching the trash on TV, so there is no use in having advertisements for white people. The advertisers aim their commercials at those watching.
I haven’t watched commercial TV in years, and I still remember, in the early 1960s or so, when the government forced TV stations to have more black people in their programming, and commercials.
I remember when they complained that no black artists were on MTV. Now pretty much if you look at the “popular” artists today, there are very few whites.
I was once told by a TV marketing guy that blacks percentagewise was the larger audience.
Buy name brand products that advertise with actors who look like you.

Good idea !
Cartoons?! Now you’re just being willfully ignorant. TV has been mostly white people from its inception. Pick any TV show from the beginning up until maybe 10 years ago. Comedy, drama, whatever. Mostly white people. From the Honeymooners through the Sopranos and beyond.
It is a good change. Nothing wrong with more types of people on TV. Unless your sense of self worth is tied to seeing you on it. But that’s on you. Mine isn’t.
I usually make single servings of rice with my dinner when I make fajitas, so I empty the pouch into an airtight container. I scoop out a few spoonfuls of the seasoned rice, and then add a few more spoons of store brand white rice to it.
It tastes great, and I'm not making a whole batch at once. Plus, cutting it with white rice effectively reduces the price.

Yup. The Hegelian Dialectic is fine as a base argument, but it can be faulty.
I did read D’Sousa’s book. I like his writing style. But his conclusion that communism and fascism are related is not unique to him. Marx himself set forth the progression: Capitalism must give way to Socialism (and Fascism is a branch of or offshoot of Socialism) and Socialism must give way to Communism (to Marx, the ultimate goal, and the ultimate good).
The U.S. is currently at the Socialism/Fascism stage.
"DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL!"
........” When I see commercials like this with it’s obvious racial propaganda content, it turns me off and I just totally tune out. In fact, it offends sometimes. Not a good idea to offend the target audience”.........
My thoughts exactly....I also ‘laugh’ when they show them in banking, or car, or retail ads.....the visual doesn’t fit reality.
.......” Sometimes while watching TV I say to my myself “Am I living in Uganda?”, that’s how absurd it has become”........
I recall when I noticed ads weren’t reflecting the nation I live in rather I also was of mind these ads were targeting just 14% of our population and the merchandise they were marketing didn’t fit reality.
This also is occurring in the Paris Fashion models you see on the runway now.
I’ve noticed also ads are so stupid.....people acting like idiots.

“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East.
In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.

I’ve been watching Chinese Historical Dynasty Series. English Subbed. Unfortunately they are loaded with ads as mentioned on this thread. Once I noticed this I have my curser right on “skip” and they never see the light of day!
It appears white liberal ‘elites and their thug pets running ad agencies are afraid of white heterosexual men.
Well, who is their target audience?
