Anonymous Coward User ID: 21306096 United Kingdom 08/06/2012 06:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We've all seen them....commercials where the white guy does something dumb, or doesn't know something or can not figure out a problem and the Black guy saves the day. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21346533 Personally, I make a mental note of who these commercials represent and refuse to purchase their goods. Is it racist? Maybe, but I expect to see things the way they actually are, and not some make believe world where White people can barely walk without tripping over their own two feet. I am also disgusted by the rash of Black guy White girl commercials springing up lately. Whether it be a night out, perfumes, or even a mattress, they are deliberately mixing the races to make it more acceptable. I realize this ain't much in the grand scheme of things but this is no more than yet another attempt to emasculate the White man. The chosen media mogels hate us they want us dead, Its pretty obvious. I think they premote the black man to try and undo their karmic debt from the slave trade. They love to provoke and push peddle BS always. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 21346533 United States 08/06/2012 06:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gerber Baby Life Insurance commercial. The scene: 4 young couples sitting around a table...three white and one Black. They begin discussing life insurance for their children. None of the white couples knew it was even available. The Black couple had already purchased it and proceeded to explain the product and process to all the White couples. Here is another for Liveleak.com Two guys in a diner type setting...one White one Black. Waitress comes to the table and the befuddled White guy says "Can you tell what the specials are..again"? Black guy immediately interjects, "dude, we've been over this already" then proceeds to rattle off the all the specials, under the increasingly approving eyes of the hottie white waitress. After which, she sats "wow, thats hot"! Fade to black and end picture of Black guy and hottie waitress head shots smiling at the camera. |

Thank god his all knowing and practical wife is there to save his sorry ass from starving or finding his way out of the house. |

The Asians and Arabs will be going mainstream next. See, they lied to you when they made you think it was all about you. What are you without your money really? Nothing. Just a big pink whining baby who can't dance. No one is going to treat you like a grown up child anymore. People only tolerated you because you held the wealth now you are going broke and they are coming up. Now they are free to tell you that you were never very nice and they never WANTED to look or act like you,but they had to conform, but that was then and this is now. |

There will be Black bosses with White employees shown to because that also really exists. If reflections of real life on TV upset you, then it may be time for medication. |

Men have been getting emasculated for years and theater, media, and religion have been excellent tools in that. Think this wasn't intention then you should pay attention to michael tsarion on this subject and where it comes from. Men have two enemies who are literally when it's time are going to turn you in toy that not even barbie would desire to be. Yet you and other men can't say you don't deserve the fate that is about to come your way. Men of all walks of like have given their enemies ample room to do them what they have done to their enemies. For those who wish to rule dominate and create their own freedom remember everyone else out there in this part of universe has the same opportunity and rights. |

fadeinlight User ID: 9545589 United States 08/06/2012 07:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm mixed Caucasian + Asian. I certainly wouldn't be mistaken for a pure Caucasian anywhere. I think the idea of boycotting is a good one. The only reason they keep doing it is because -you- let them get away with it. Personally, I don't know why you guys (and girls) put up with so much...I'm almost embarrassed for you. It amazes me how guilty people can be made to feel for something they didn't do.

WatchDawg User ID: 19722747 Canada 08/06/2012 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LMAO at white males taking marketing seriously. Most women, white, black, etc... think that their husbands/boyfriends are dumb as a bag of nails anyway. There are plenty of commercials depicting the "White male" as financial geniuses. It's time to grow the f--k up and realize that there are more than just two races of humans on this planet period. Hispanics represent 17% of the population yet other than advertising for Latin Grammy's or Jennifer Lopez you wouldn't know they exist by watching commercials. Arabic, Asian...etc...; "I don't always post but when i do, I do it on GLP". |

I imagine the media folks do not want to offend anyone (other than White people). And Whites being as gullible as possible take it in stride and continue to do business with the offenders. The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. |
