Does it bother you...?

That when ever there is a black person in a commercial he/she is always the smartest or most knowledgeable person. IMO, it's ing bull .

It is apparent you lack confidence in your own intelligence and are probably not the smartest person amongst your friends or in most conversations.

What's with all the topics about black people? I hope you're not trolling because if you are, there are posters here that already done this.

[ChumpDumper]

Not completing a topic in the topic line bothers me more tbh.

[AmericanPsycho]

Jack seems to be the smartest person in the JIB commercials. Does that make you feel better?

[BlackSwordsMan]

And its always a white guy who breaks into houses during security commercials

[CubanSucks]

it's always a white guy doing something outrageous or awkward and the sensible black guy just staring at him with a wtf face. 3 examples off the top of my head: the Bing food fight commercial, the flash mob grand central station fail commercial, and that taco bell commercial where he "won"

lol reverse tv land

Normally I find these threads played out and tiresome, but this topic actually does piss me off. We're all equals now, it's a different time than the 60's and before. It's not enough that they have to force racial representation with the token minority in the group, but the white guy is always either fat, stupid, or both.

The white guilt in these commercials is more egregious than racism itself.

And the father of the family is always the stupidest one, while the mother is wily and covertly a genius.

Media drives the agenda of the wealthy. If you see it enough on television and the movies, it becomes the norm. sexuals have been beating that drum for 20 years or more, trying to make sexuality mainstream. Since the Hollywood elite are comprised of a large number of sexuals, all of the shows and commercials are becoming more metrosexual, some even sexual.

Not a knock on blacks though, often times the black guy in the room is the smartest, often times not. If you want to see them portrayed by their lower end stereotypical folks, just watch Cops. You should get your fill there.

If we were all equals, no one would be pointing out that the black guy is always the smartest in the room. The fact that it's noticed and made into conversation material is evidence that the term "equal" has a gradient. Some people are more equal than others.

I've never watched Tyler Perry. He's overexposed and I avoid, like the plague, anything he does.

lol Seen MTV Real World? This season? Not saying that it doesn't happen the other way around but don't act like that doesn't exist.

That's actually true in real life tbh

I've seen it a few times, but TV makes it to always be so, in contrast to 30 years ago when dads in shows were wise and made decisions.

[Nbadan]

Lol stereotypes....ok, but the black guy always dies and the white guy, no matter how ugly he is, always gets the girl...

This. Commercials always have a family where the husband is as smart as a mentally ill 10 year old recovering from a lobotomy, while the wife has the perfect solution every time her mentally re ed husband does something stupid.

Somehow tho, the re ed husband is the one paying the bills, while the genius wife doesn't work and sits at home all day.

Sounds pretty smart to me.

My guess is that the "creative/ideas" depts of ad agencies are full gays intent on showing, oops depicting, white straight males, all ages, as infantile jerks (tbh, there's plenty of evidence. )

And the black yuppie movies where all these black guys get together and talk about marriage during a pickup game of basketball, and they are all doctors and lawyers, but they still all say "aks" except this one smoove looking bro who turns out to be gay. None of their women have the pubic head hair, it's all straight and blond-ish.

That's reality. I see it everywhere.

Should be even worse than what is represented, tbh.
