As a human being, I was offended by the potato chip ad yesterday during the Super Bowl....?

Question

I am white but if I were black I think I would have been deeply offended that they made it seem as if something spectacular happened because two black coaches were coaching the super bowl. There are plenty of succesful and extremley wealthy black people and have been for quite a number of years. Just look at Oprah, she is worth at least a billion. What is the big deal. If you are black and you saw that commercial did it offend you?

al6517, sorry did not mean to offend your thin skin. When I watch a commercial, I think about the people that make the damn thing and what they were thinking. That is how my brain works. At 5 million dollars a minute they could have been less patronizing. I thought almost all of the commercials were fairly lame this year. By the way, I am far from PC.

I am almost 50 years old and grew up in LA.

Answer 1

Yeah, and I just heard about "the longest space walk by a female astronaut." Like every single event has to be placed in some kind of minority group quantifier. (Not that females are a minority, but they are a minority of astronauts.)
The country is so diverse, and occupations and activities so numerous, that a new record of some kind could be set every hour. How about the first Black Persian Buddhist to own a chain of Chinese kosher restaurants?

Answer 2

you people are all idiots!!!!, being so politically correct you are just dragging down everybody around you, you are just so thin skinned, if you don't like something so what don't make it everybody Else's problem. try this for a change if you see something that you don't like forget about it because more than likely it really is a very minor thing you have decide the whole world should feel offended by, like a frigging potato chip commercial, get a life and think a little before you open you mouth,with all do respect keep this in mind.

Answer 3

You are young and you don't remember where we have come from. Just a couple of decades ago, the General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodger said in an interview that most blacks didn't have the necessary intelligence to manage a baseball team. I imagine you find it difficult to believe that a person in such a position of authority could have such an opinion but that's the truth.

Answer 4

In my area, we have this one commericial advertising some kind of cash advance business. They do this sort of Dukes of Hazzard skit. The "dukes" are two slick black men in a nice muscle car doing the get-away. While the sheriff and his crew are some babbling, stupid white hillbillies. Very offensive. I'm tired of hearing "its cause i'm black" when they are just as guilty for showing racism.

Answer 5

did you know the Geico 'caveman' represents a black guy? So easy even a ....caveman can do it? Then he b!tches and complains about being politically targeted? When is the last time a white guy b!tched about being politically targeted? Hmmmm? think about it.

Answer 6

Not offended by commercial.... proud to see how our society has progressed

Be Blessed!
