I guess it's just a matter of personal perception. And that ad is kinda old anyways. I think the statement they were trying to make may be something different than what is "clearly" obvious in the photo. Maybe if you look deeper, you could see that also.
So u dont find anything wrong with the horns on top of that kid's head? It's not a haircut u would usually put on a little black boys head, if it was that would be different. They have the little girl with her hair all curled nice, while the boy is sittin there with horns on top of his head.

Aside from the fact that I wouldn't wanna see that if I was walkin down the street lol nothing's wrong with it. They're just saying no matter what color you are on the outside you're all the same on the inside, but that first ad definately doesn't say that. If you don't see a negative connotation behind that first ad I really don't know what you're lookin at b/c it can't be the same ad my eyes see.

I see the disturbing connotation as well. I could also be a smartass and say that could be a **** waiting to happen. That is a double-edged sword on so many levels.

yeah, i also agree... they could've easily given the black child a more positive expression and natural hairstyle... and this ad was featured in the textbook of one of my classes from this previous semester....in a chapter about how minorities are depicted in the media (advertising and otherwise)....and it mentioned that the ad did come from i believe the eighties or early nineties... but what i'm sure u all will find really shocking is that...the black child isn't a boy....she's a girl.....according to the caption and corresponding descriptions of the picture, in my book... which makes the picture look even worst....and more sad...in my opinion....

smh...That pisses me off more. Why cant they make that child look more happy and feminine. People thinking that poor girl is a boy...And why did they make her look like she just got off the **** boat...all joes aside. Extra dark ( nuthin wrong with being dark, just sayin tho ) extra **** hair...if they wanted the lil girl to have a natural look they could have AT LEAST gave her 2 combed out afro puffs ( those are cute on lil girls ) and had her smiling. Instead they got her mean muggin the camera next to extra happy Betty ****. but I agree with Rod and everyone else on this who sees this pic in the negative light it is TRYING not to show...Yea they talk about " United Colors " but this is a form of hidden racism at its best...smh

I just asked my mom what she thought of this picture she said "Shirley Temple and Buckwheat" The ppl who promoted this pic should be ashamed of themselves. The little boy could have had cornrolls or a low cut D***!!!!

just because the url shows evidence of a Canadian website doesn't mean the image was made in and/or for Canada.... nor does the "angeldevil" part of the url mean that that is straight-forward reason evidence about why these two children look the way they do... it was more than likely simply hosted from that website...and given the "angeldevil" name because of that being the most common analogy (attempt) people receive from looking at it.... and who knows what the intentions really were of the people who set this image up and allowed it to actually be made public, as it was.... just seems a little too convenient to have only been coincidentially set up the way it was...

and I definitely feel what you're saying......not viewing the black child in a threatening, unpleasant, or generally negative light...is a great way of looking at it... but...regardless as to how wonderfully interpreted anyone thinks it is (or the intentions of those who were behind this)....I think the whole point of the image is that it plays on exactly what has been engrained in Western culture - that "white" (and any physical feature most commonly associated with the people who fall under that category) is right....and really, anything but is wrong....but "black" (and any physical feature most commonly associated with the people who fall under that category) is just the worst of worst... when i said they could've easily set up the little black girl with a "natural" hairstyle....like mila said, i was thinking moreso little afro puffs or the like.......i ain't askin' for a lil' "Just for Me"-lookin' girl, lol (the ladies...& even the fellas, maybe, lol...should know what i'm talkin with "Just for Me").....just a natural, non-"devil horns"-shaped hairstyle :???:
