In America, it is ok to portray white people in a bad light.

Ain’t that the fucked up truth. In modern advertising, white folks are always portrayed as the fool, dork, villain, ignorant, etc… It’s more than obvious.
Watched any movies lately???
Reprehensible. :mad:
Did you guys read the story? The ads goal is not to make race the issue, but to note stupid ban policies inacted by government.

Ooopps my bad. Maybe I should read the ads too.

Honestly, while anti white discrimination surely exists, it’s more about being a safe “fall guy.” In a home monitoring TV ad the burglar will always be white because if he isn’t whoever is portrayed while have a race based advocacy group that will object and cause problems.
We are simply dealing with the end result of decades of those objections. And as a result we are no closer to equality and simply have different forms of racism.
I have a dream that one day I will watch a TV ad for home monitoring alarm systems and a black, female lesbian in American Indian dress will kick in the front door, pause at the alarm and then flee.
So much for trigger finger discipline.
I’m starting to see the first one floating around Facebook and I’m calling people out on it as I see it come up.
The stupid is running rampant out there…
Ever watch those home security commercials where the guy breaks in and the family comes home? The perp is always a white guy…:rolleyes:
Are you sure that isn’t a dream about a black, female lesbian in American Indian dress kicking in your front door and … (cue “brown chicken, brown cow” soundtrack) … demanding “compensation” for a pizza which you curiously have no money to pay for? ![]()
I’ve noticed the same. Reminds me of the two white chicks with 20 degrees blaming white boys for violence :rolleyes:
It irritates me that we have to point out the obvious that the book is completely acceptable to own without regulation with the exception of a few school districts where a bunch of emotional idiots got it banned.
And there is not a school in the nation where you can bring an AR-15 into the school. We have had gun free school zones for decades now and they obviously don’t work. More to the point, any student can bring that “banned book” into school without incident as their personal property. It simply isn’t allowed in the library and/or part of the curriculum.
This is the level of stupidity and complete lack of rational thought we are up against.
That’s a different dream, except in that dream she’s bringing me FREE pizza and she’s actually bi…and she looks like Angel Kelly.
Meh, still pretty great being white. ![]()
Would it be shorter for you to list for us the dreams you don’t have than the ones you do? ![]()
Shut your Jim Crow-supporting cracker mouth, right now! You best get on your damn knees and feel guilty for what a bunch of white people you never met did 160 years ago!
It’s an anti-gun ad that stupidly reinforces the racial stereotype that only white people unlawfully wield “assault weapons”. Regardless of which race they’re targeting, exploiting racial biases to reinforce a negative stereotype is, well, racist! I fail to see how that ISN’T an issue??? :mad:
Text of an email I sent to the organization responsible:
To Whom It May Concern,
I just saw your new advertising series highlighted on Yahoo! Shine. I have a simple question. Is your organization openly racist? I ask because you seem to have gone out of your way to portray white children as the problem, seeing as how only the white children are holding guns. Regardless of the fact that non-white children are statistically more likely to commit gun violence in America, using racial biases to reinforce negative stereotypes is reprehensible. I don’t care what your cause is, ad campaigns like this and the biases they reinforce are one of the reasons we have more racial tension today than we did 10 years ago.
Please stop using this material and make a public apology. You owe it to millions of Americans you’ve chosen to disparage with this reprehensible sham of a “public service announcement”. You’ve managed to turn the focus away from violence and towards race, which is sad.
Regards,
Agreed. Is reverse discrimination right? No form of discrimination is right in my book, but maybe in this day and age of Political Correctness, whites are thought of by the main stream media, as a more appealing and therefore a safer PC target. They get the same message across without offending non-whites and without having their media corporation becoming a lightning rod for racism. After all, isn’t it obvious that by virtue of being white, (and having been in charge and in control for the overwhelming majority of this nation’s history), you cannot scream or claim racism because you are not a ‘protected class’? According to this administration anyway. Look at all the recent racial injustices inflicted on white victims and barely no news coverage. Incidents that have been dismissed nationally, and at the highest political levels.
To the OP: It looks like the ruling elite has decided to spin it in the same light that other ethnicities have been portrayed in the past…in a bad light in movies and TV programs for decades: being portrayed as undesirable as necessary to fit the director’s plot and to play to the commons fears & stereotypes of the target audience of that day. Being shown on a regular basis as people ‘not to be trusted’ while at the same time being submissive to whites. Where was the outrage then? Maybe some still harbor those racists thoughts and stereotypical fears in the back of their minds, given the outrage and ‘glad to be white’ comments in this thread, and are still uncomfortable dealing with people outside an individual’s race on a regular basis. It must be quite confusing and disturbing when the shoe is on the other foot…
End the end, it’s all marketing elite bullshit. It is an attempt at mind control and to sway public opinion. Same can be said for school children being subjected to the progressive political agenda of a teacher. Whether you fall for the narrative of the day, depends on how emotionally tied you are to the perceived subject, beyond the mere words of the ad being shown. And make no mistake, the messages we receive are all designed to provoke an emotional response. The question is, are folks level headed enough to see through the gross distortion of the message without getting emotionally affected…see it for what it is, a marketing gimmick, and not increase your hatred for people who’s skin color that doesn’t quite match their own?
I like how the Moms Demand Action (sounds like a pornographic MILF genre series) anti-2nd Amendment group poses the question in their propaganda posters “Why not Assault Weapons?” Last I checked every school in the country is a “GUN FREE ZONE”, so what school do these hag’s kids go to that allow guns?
Oh yeah and the whole only the white kids are holding the evil black rifles was a real gas . . .
