Racist Ad?

pettyofficerj said:
interesting thread

you really get to see the intelligence level of some folk here

for instance..flaming with his usual 'sambo' mantra

why do you have to insult people all the time, when it comes to intellectual discourse?

you really should have stayed in school, statistic

ouch....but c'mon man...that ad is racist than a mofo.

We shouldn't give people a pass for shitting on us...Jews don't..Arabs don't...even southern crackers don't.
 
He claims to be a businessman. I'd like to see what sort of business he runs with that pompous attitude. Classless behavior like that would only attract flies and other nasty vermin.

Goodlove gets restricted access, yet the mods let this guy fester all over the forums after endless salvos of personal attacks in about 90 percent of his posts.

am i missing something?

is something broken with the system here :smt017

no more restricted access unless this guy goes with them, stop playin around
 
Goodlove isn't the big shocker (although that is surprising since he doesn't come off as a dick) as much as satyr getting restricted access a while back. That really baffled me a bunch.

Is Nivea's "Re-Civilize Yourself" ad racist?

Absolutely -- the slogan would have never been used with a white model.
51.52%

Nah -- just an unfortunate coincidence.
48.48%

First comment on the page mentioned exactly what I said as well.

It kind of hits to the idea that black people act like animals. That's probably not what they were thinking, but with the lack of black people or people of color in general within the advertising industry there's no one to point these things out. Just because you wear an afro doesn't mean you're uncivilized.

What bugs me here is what's in bold...

I'm puzzled as how does having a lot of hair correlate to people being savages? That's the worst kind of interpretation someone could give and to me, I only think people are looking too deep into something that doesn't exist. So they are creating this idea.

Besides, it's just a poll based on sampling data. Doesn't really mean that it's definitely racist. Especially when the numbers are at 52-48%. Maybe if it was 90%, then there would be some rethinking.
