have u noticed how some commercials can b so racist?
ex: the cingular commercial with the black dude playing basketball and he automatically makes the shot blindfolded and not even facing the basket.
WTF? so cuz he black, he got natural basketball talent? y couldnt it be a white dude? maybe im over-reacting, but wat are some other things that strike u as racist?

It's crazy I was just talking about this with my friend. Did anyone ever see that KFC commercial with the black men watching the game on the couch, and oh dude's woman came home and started to fuss him out about makin her mama cook them something to eat? But look behold! :o KFC is to the rescue :roll: but then when you see white families with KFC they around the table with their own spokes person :x !! GET IT TOGETHER KFC!! ....ok I'm cool. I promise :?

I do think that some of the commercials are racist. For instance with the basket ball commercial, well think about this; alot of black guys are good at basketball but so are some white people. Even though it may be true that we are good at somethings but that is not all we are good at we are intelligent too we can do other things. They should not make it like that is all black guys are good at. Also another thing I have noticed with tv series. Most series on regular TV are on white series. How come they don't have that many black serious series. I mean do they think that we can't be serious or be sensable. Blacks are always seen on comedy shows. I can think of some other things but I will get back to that later.
I'm sick of these Black TV shows that are afraid to show real Black women. They are always light with wavy hair (in other words mixed). Not to insult people who are mixed, but dag....can we get a fully Black woman on TV without it being a loud, big, Black woman whose sole purpose is to be funny and add some comedic relief? It's like they're sending us the message that we can only be beautiful or at least worthy of being put in a decent light on TV if we are somewhat Eurocentric. Even the "Black" women who are considered very beautiful in Holywood are either half white or attempt to be (ie. Halle Berry, Beyonce, etc.).
And don't get me started on the commercials. It's like these companies think the only way to get our attention is to throw in some tired rap or at least have a hip-hop-ish beat on their commercial :?
