IR In Starbucks Blonde Roast Commercial

pettyofficerj said:
i love how these companies play it safe with that 'token' looking black guy

you know..the one who's dark enough to be considered 'black,' but light enough to be considered 'Will Smith'

why dont they just put a chocolate brotha in their advertisements, if they really wanna drive home IR


either way they're going to get flamed by trolls, that have a problem with anything darker than WB Mason bulk printer paper

LOL - you did it again. Have the trolls come out to play yet?

lmao damn kid go easy on him.
I see where he's coming from but he doesn't get his own privilege apparently.
We all have it on some levels. Even though you're taller and more muscular than I am a lot of people would find me more intimidating based on dark skin alone. Seen that shit my whole life.
You think it was a coincidence that Omar and almost every scary dude on the wire was dark skin dude?

Not ALL. Omar's boyfriend Brandon was brown and his last boyfriend Ramon was a light-skinned boricua, and they were both trigger-men. I guess Omar was equal opportunity, lol.

this is what i'm trying to convey, as i've seen this growing up

we were generally more afraid of the darker classmates in school

you automatically attach characteristics to them like they like to fight, do drugs, get in trouble with authority figures and so on

so...I tend to look at different things with a different set of eyes, because whether you believe it or not, businesses play the market and they know their markets very well. if they didn't, they wouldn't be smart professionals.

Exactly. Again you think its a coincidence that the first "black" president is half white? Shiiiiiittttttt

I ain't gonna lie though the dark skin thing has had a lot of advantages too, girls always assume my dick is huge(still don't get that one), I get more credit than I deserve for being well educated and articulate (too many people expect Bubba Gump or 50 when I talk and lose their shit when its more like Carlton lol), I walk through the club most times motherfuckas just move out the way. So I can't say its all bad just as long as I don't have to deal with the cops lol

LOL! At least Ramon lived and was cold with that 12 gauge. Brandon got lit up. He was in over his head, but at least he didn't rat Omar out.

But apart from Ramon, the killers were Omar, Chris, Wee-Bey, Brother Mouzzone. None of them likely candidates for the Octoroon Society's Man of the Year Awards, lol. But, although he got dropped towards the end, let's not forget Bodie!

True even though Bodie was a soldier I think a better example was that boy Mike. Second scariest dude on that shit lol.

Nix all that...what about Marlow Stanfield? That boy was cold blooded. Definitely doesn't help TDK's case for acceptance, lol. Don't forget the scene from Pelham 123 (yeah mofos, i'm digging deep into my intellectual archives now), where the lady asks the 'black man' on the train if he was going to do something about the hijacking. He's like, I know what you're thinking...ask me to do something because I'm black and predisposed towards acts of violence. She tells him that it was because of the 101st airborne class ring on his finger, not because of his skin color (yeah right).:shock:

Definitely the first time I have ever seen whites fight to claim a black man as one of their own, lol. Winning changes everything.

because I'm black and predisposed towards acts of violenceHey, aren't we all? :p

No doubt, Marlow was the closest thing to a psychopath on that show. Worse than Avon, Stringer, Omar, Brother Mouzzone and all the rest.

I know I am lol.

Yeah the way that fucker did little Chris was cold. He didn't even do shit and put him in one of those houses. Look on dude's face in the trunk of that suv is unforgettable.
Funny how Marlow was the only one to survive too.

Little Kevin was Bodie's boy. That's why he decided to go out blasting at the end. Shoulda watched his back, or Poot should've been backing him up, they might have lived to fight another day. Yeah, Marlow was on the street corner in the last episode, starting all over. Avon doing deals in prison and Chris learning the prison yard rules from Wee-Bey. Talk about irony.

As for Starbuck's, we should all meet up in a city at Starbuck's (although their coffee ain't shit - ooops pardon my French) and sip coffee and give them a bm shot for use in their next ad campaign.

I don't need him I got President David Palmer from 24. The first respectable depiction of a black president that I have ever seen and seen since. Call me crazy but I think his portrayal on 24 really helped Obama. It helped to normalize the idea of an articulate intelligent black man as President who knew how to get shit done. Not like that embarassing shit Chris Rock did in State of The Union. Not to mention he's the Allstate guy. Who doesn't love the Allstate guy? lol

Now that would be cool as fuck. I prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee but love that Starbuck's atmosphere though.

And he almost got to hit Julianne Moore in 'Far From Heaven'. Probably the most respectful treatment of IR in the old days as I have ever seen on film. Yayyy Dennis Haysbert!

I know, we could all be in some spirited discussion of world affairs with a New York Times and a Financial Times lying around on the coffee table for ideological balance.
