We need European commercials.

I'd watch some of those.

Probably the weather, too.

We need commercials of Jews with Kippa on their heads with black women.

Actually, I'd really love to see that happen.

Being a true Jew is about faith in Christ anyhow.
And there is evidence in the OT that it was never about DNA anyway.

In the series of commercials I just watched in the Bills/Eagles game, the couple was biracial. All four commercials.

I guess I should at least be thankful they were opposite sex couples.
it's fascinating that one would think advertisers try to target an entire population to increase sales as much as possible:

Blacks in the USA: 13.6% of total population

and vastly less average and median household incomes than the other 86% of the population.

Hmm wonder why TV ads show 60% black Americans
don't let facts get in your way: While non-Hispanic white people comprise 59% of the U.S. population, white actors accounted for 72.5% of people who appeared in TV and digital video ads in 2022, according to a study by Extreme Reach, a global marketing logistics company. That marks an increase in white actors from 65.6% in 2021.

Lol, you do realize a couple is two people, right? And many show a white female and black male.

Now do the math again and see if you can figure it out.

There's an awful lot of people who don't like seeing black folks on tv. Excuse me, seeing black folks too often
That's absurd. When I regularly see 5 commercials in a row and 4 of them feature black women it's impossible not to notice that 80% of the commercials are routinely featuring 6% of the population. There is something to it beyond random chance. And then the very people who are constantly obsessed with "representation" start with the attacks like "Why do you care so much what skin color they are?" What a joke..

A white person can't even voice an animated black character without it being seen as racist now but as soon as straight whites are virtually replaced it becomes "Why do you care what color they are?" and "Why does it bother you to see black people?"

So disingenuous.
Look, I'll admit, I said these things on here to get a reaction. It is true that the makeup of the people in commercials do not represent the actual percentage of the population. I understand what the "people in charge" are trying to do with these commercials in reference to diversity and inclusiveness.

I think that it is beneficial for younger kids to see successful people who look like them on tv. The conversation needs to start with something that won't trigger the common disingenuous response that you noted above.

Yes, my statements were disingenuous.


The point about seeing successful people on TV who look like them is a good point. They don't see it with baby momma and no daddy while being raised by their grandma.

But why can't they see successful people who look like them who are married to people who look like them? I know that's also not representative of reality - 70% born out of wedlock - but it's a lot more representative than what we see now. It might also encourage them to get married one day.
The thing is these commercials only do diversity a lip service instead of actually getting creative.

Think about all the commercials, it was all white people before, they just replaced with another race, basically that all cultures are the same. Conversation needs to go that way.

Any university or health /science company ads always have an African American in a white lab coat holding a beaker or leading a group of people with ubiquitous laser in the background. If yuu got rid of Affirmative action in the sciences it would be even less. There is system discrimination in higher Ed and it is against whites and especially Asians. The white libs of Academia especially stick it to Asian when it comes to Med School admissions. It is a real shame. Reminds me of a joke I heard one time. " What do you call the person who graduates last in their medical class ? " " Doctor !" Which is really scary. The malpractice cases of graduates from the 4 black medical schools is way, way, WAY higher than other schools due to melanin over merit.

No advertisement will ever top the great burger woke-off on the heels of the Floyd Fiasco. McDonalds changed their name on twitter to "Amplifying Black Voices" and included a passionate please from blacktranswoman Imara Jones to "stop killing us".

Watched the last James Bond movie in the middle east. There is no PSA. Reminds me of the ankle cleavage line from one of Key and Peele's skits.

I won't watch anymore Bond films, but point is taken.

I chuckled. But my point wasn't meant to be sexual. I just want to see the left try to breed Muslims out. Let's be consistent. Christianity can handle every nation, tribe, and tongue. Let's not be Islamophobic by not including Arab women with black men and white men.

Nothing to be worried about. Muslim men are circumcised around 95% of the time. Some folks don't know that.

If you were a visitor to the US and turned on the TV in your hotel, you'd assume the country was 70 percent black, 25 percent white, and 5 percent Hispanic.

Prove me wrong.

No joke. What happened to all the Hispanics represented on tv?


Blacks are the preferred minority and overall race in this country when it comes to aggrievement, handout status, and preferential treatment. And there is nothing racist about that comment; it's a fact. We have entire industries, parallel rule sets, and infrastructure solely created for them.

To maintain that status, there has been some movement to combine Hispanics and Whites into one big white group by leveraging the fact that both are Caucasians (under less commonly used scientific terminology). Plus, the Hispanic population just keeps growing and will eventually be the majority in this country anyway.

I just hope that our new Latino overlords are benevolent masters when they take the reins.

That's because I'm not distracted by the "rapture" and am focused on playing the long game.

Check this out.

"Uncircumcised Muslims are rare. The rate of circumcision in Muslim nations is between 90 and 100 percent. This includes the Christians who form a significant part of some Arab states.1 Studies indicate that the rate of circumcision in the USA is between 58 and 70 percent.2 Around the world, statistics show that 13.3 million boys are circumcised annually.3 There are several reasons why circumcision is so widespread. It is practiced for medical-therapeutic, medical-preventive, or religious reasons. Some researchers say it is also performed as a social custom.4 For Muslims, male circumcision is performed for religious reasons, mainly to follow the sunnah (practice) of Prophet Muhammad."

You're not wrong, but I would add that they would assume 25% of the population is gay and 35%- 40% are trans.

Yes. There are Arab Christians who were former Muslims. It's happening now in Jordan and other parts of the Middle East. But it's largely an underground church. Former Muslims are coming to Christ. But you will hear nothing about that on the news. But ministers of the Gospel have been hearing some positive reports.

You're definitely more intelligent than me. We just have been exposed to different information.

1 Corinthians 15:25-26 (ESV)

25 "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death."

Verse 25 has to happen first before I believe the Lord returns. So I'm not looking at the Middle East right now and wondering if it's going to be the final war before the rapture.
The Psalms speak of God making the nations full of his knowledge.

Because of a more historic eschatological viewpoint, I'm never like, "oh well…things are getting worse and Jesus is coming back very soon."

Anyway, back to politics…

Why are the commercials Islamophobic. We need to see Arab women with white and black men.

If this is the way to cure racism, let's cure Islamophobia by breeding. Baby evangelism…

I'd be fine with the Arabs/future Christians staying modest, unlike our women often dress today.

lthink the point is that if commercials are supposed to represent a legitimate cross section of America, they are going about it in an odd way and in odd proportions.
Who said advertising is supposed to be a demographic mirror of the country? Advertising is designed to sell product.

They know advertising has little effect on product sales and the stock price so it's used to push ESG and DEI narratives instead. Additionally, global finance uses it as a humiliation ritual. There is a reason these ads only are shown in the West.
if advertising had no affect on sales, no one would spend a penny on advertising.
