Racist Ad?

No. Just not quick to label everything as racist because we take things out of context.

 

That's my whole point. Revitalize would have been a much better word. I don't get how the wording doesn't stand out to people. And my overall point is when do they ever use negative words to campaign a product. I don't recall a single instance of that.

 

Or so scared to be called over sensitive about race their knee jerk reaction is to take the oppositions side.
Forget the image just the phrase itself stands out a lot. How the fuck does that encourage you to buy anything. Advertising is meant to pump you up not give reality checks. Shit the news doesn't even do that anymore lol.

 

I agree 100%, but in this particular case, the ad IS racist. Point blank.

 

If it was a white guy's head, would that make a difference? It's a freaking mannequin's head for pete's sake. If it was an actual head then I understand you guys are disturbed by it, but I guess your looking from a symbolic point of view.

It's only racist because that's how you WANT to percieve it. Same thing goes for the WW in this thread(no offense to them). Either that or because of their attraction to BM they feel sympathetic or women in general are more emotional and/or sensitive than men are. I don't know. I could be wrong. I'm just speculating.

Also it has nothing to do with Stockholm Syndrome or being brainwashed.

 

How? Because it's a black guy throwing a mannequin of his old self to the curb to feel fresh and modern? I guess having a black person in ads have to be under racism-detection.

 

Care to add any response with that pic??????

 

LOL @ you slow negroes. Once more with feeling:

THEY WOULD NEVER CREATE AN AD LIKE THIS FOR WHITE PEOPLE. YOU WOULD NOT SEE A DECAPITATED WHITE MAN'S HEAD IN AN AD. THAT'S MY POINT, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT RACIST.

AND YES, IT IS SYMBOLIC. SYMBOLIC AND SEMIOTIC. SEVERED AFRO HEAD = HEADHUNTERS = PYGMIES = UNCIVILIZED.

 

Like I always say, stick to political posts.

 

Fixed.

 

This is sociopolitical (race matters), karma. Therefore, I'm sticking within this topic point blank. Maybe you need to stop perceiving things as something unless there's credible proof that it's there.

 

OOOOOKKKK, I'm done here.

 

No need Sambo....you ass-sucking tapeworm.

 

I should have been more specific. IF(THE KEY WORD IS IF) they done that, what would you think? I NEVER SAID THEY ACTUALLY WOULD DO THAT, SO DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH AND STOP DUCKING THE DAMN QUESTION.

 

Seeing were you are from...I can't really blame you for being such a vaudeville act.

 

interesting thread

you really get to see the intelligence level of some folk here

for instance..flaming with his usual 'sambo' mantra

why do you have to insult people all the time, when it comes to intellectual discourse?

you really should have stayed in school, statistic

 

And you're the worst offender of being a vaudeville act. Your insults on these forums bring little credibility, let alone any on your end because you like to act on paranoia and when you're cowering in the corner, you go into insults like a 10 year old ghetto kid with a mouth and a sucker stuck in the crack of your ass.

Seriously, if you can't participate in a discussion without making a mockery of blacks, then get the hell out of here and don't respond.

 

LMAO So you're resorting to name calling because of a little difference of opinion. Trying to say an "Uncle Tom". That's funny. Real mature. This happens when you can't come up with a value argument. Take of yourself man and don't forget:

*bows head down and raises fist in the air*

BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what's funny is this need for people to wants blacks to separate from this ghetto mentality, but on the same token giving a pass to someone like him
