I'm referring to the ad where the young white woman says she met Ford at the Playboy Super Bowl party and coyly says "Harold... call me!"
For one thing, I'm glad to see that a black man can run in a state governor election, something that would not have been possible years ago. I definitely approve of interracial relationdhips (I'm in one) so in a way, it's kind of cool that the ad has an interracial theme. But two questions:
1) Was it necessary to use a white woman? If it had been a black woman in the ad, this would not even be an issue.
2) Is it also possible the ad was to call attention to the fact that Ford (an extremely light-skinned man who could pass for white) is actually black? I mean, was the real purpose to call attention to his ethnicity to those who might not have known he was black?
