You have a wife and got married in a church. Therefore you are a good man in my book and I won't debate with you. |

"Yes, it's not discriminatory to show a white person as a burglar, but it is to show a black person as a burglar in let's say a home security system commercial."I'm surprised why people don't understand why this is so. Whites are the dominant group in America. They are 77% of the population. Whites are, like it or not, the "default" image of Americans. Showing them is as good is OK; showing them as bad is OK. By showing a burglar to be white, you are not insulting whites or stereotyping them as burgers, you are just indicating the statistical likelihood of reality. Blacks are 13% of the population, and have been stereotyped as criminals for hundreds of years. By showing a black as a burglar, you are feeding into that negative, and false, stereotype, and confirming the erroneous views of bigots. As a white person, it does not bother me in the least that whites are shown as burglars in commercials. I am secure enough to realize that, as part of the vast majority, no one will think a white burglar image has any negative effect on me. But I can certainly understand it if black people, being such a small minority, would be offended by depictions of black people as burglars given the sad history of stereotyping and discrimination. |

But when does this "sad history" finally end? Everybody has to stop harping on the past and move forward. If a white guy is the burglar, like in the Sloman's Shield commercials, so be it. If a black guy is the burglar, so be it also. |

They've also learned to be careful about kids lecturing parents. The advertisers thought they were portraying "modern and up-to-date" vs. "old-fashioned"; instead they were alienating their older consumers as they saw "your kids are smarter than you, OLD MAN."Are you sure? It may depend on the time slot. Saturday morning, for instance, tended to have commercials where kids are more dominant or smarter. |

It has nothing to do with that.Most of the ads are national. Madison Avenue knows that the Al Sharpton's keep racial scorecard and will cause problems if they don't like the racial makeup on television commercials and print ads. There is an effort to make sure blacks are maybe overrepresented in commercials. Makes sense. That's the mood in AMerica right now. THIW. |

That is part of it.There is an effort to avoid problems. No one wants to be accused of racism. Print ads like to promote interracial black male/white female couples. This will continue until black females get mad about it. |

They go out of their way not only to overrepresent blacks in number, but in status. Blacks with a nice big home and nice car in an upscale suburb. Blacks in a business suit, when in reality, whites and Asians seem to be the executives these days. Not in the world of television commercials. |

Nobody said anything about equality here. but if being "equal" means that white folk can be portrayed as being the silly or goofy or nonsensical in commercials where there is a black person as the more rational or smarter person, then the opposite should also be shown. else it's merely pandering by upper income white folk who really haven't been around many black folk. basically, more racial hijinks by the white devils. i'm reminded of those verses in that pointer sisters' jam: "no smiling faces, lying to the races". |

White people can be portrayed as goofy for the next 50 years and it will still be a lot easier than what the black race has endured. Blacks had been portrayed as shiftless, lazy dumbasses for much of American media history. Now the shoe is on the other foot (mildly) and you cry like a bitch.your pal, Fred |

As a man with a wife whom he married in a Catholic church in Astoria, you should not even be around here.No, there is a very small percentage of blacks in high positions.
