This is not racist I'm litterally asking a fucking question. Really seems like it's more about being superior than it is equality
Why is it only black people in commercial any more?

They’re probably the only ones dumb enough to still watch commercials. I stopped watching mainstream media in the year 2000 and set up an HTPC running XBMC back then which is now KODI today. Usenet had all sorts of ripped movies and TV shows back then from video subscription services and libraries. By the mid 2000s you had ad block on all browsers and youtube came along. Why would you want to financial support media companies that are actively working to destroy your county and discriminate racism towards your people by watching their advertising? Block all that shit… They influenced 90% of the black community to vote for this jackass… Are you on that level or do you think you can do a little better for yourself?

Advertisers have been pummeled by activists about show blacks and showing them in the best light possible. So the black guy is the boss, the black family is happy in a nice house.
A young whole woman will be shown with a black male or more rarely with a black female. A white guy is the butt of the joke as people will be outraged of it were a black guy, a woman or anyone else but a white man.
Young white guys don’t watch TV anymore. Like ever. They are on the internet. Blacks watch a lot of TV. But advertisers are in a rut and show 13% of the population as if they are 50% of the population. Blacks are over represented in advertising as a way of virtue is falling and avoiding harassment from activists.
White people have been used to advertise products for we ALL use for decades, so what’s wrong with seeing Black people now?
Seems like you have problem.

Our Government saw the opportunity with Floyd to get us into a race war and Soros unleashed BLM on our inner cities and Caravans to our borders. Biden of course was not elected by votes no president has other than Trump. There has never been a bi-partisan government. Trump won as the left felt cocksure he would lose and lose big. Hilary was bonkers as right up until the 11th hour she was sure this would never happen and that the Shadow Government would have their alternative plans in order (falsifying the election) but they didn't. They fell asleep at the wheel. The media, polls all had no doubt Hillary was going to win and she like Biden did not campaign as they both knew they were covered no matter, just like with every other President we have had. Its always been a fix.
If you think for one minute that 2022 will change anything get a grip. Every democratic city that for decades have been just that democrats running it, also fixed. Recalls, nothing will change any of it as our vote means nothing. And they will never let a Trump happen again. We are doomed now and we are going to be put in jail (already are) abused for things like showing up at the Capitol or not getting the JABS.
Back to the commercials. It is to empower the blacks against whites and as we see the killings, lootings, no jail, they are now garbage disposal of anything white. Given license to kill as they know their mentality that the government has actually made of them with keeping them down and in hate with Tokens like Maxine and the squad to incite them to go after whites.
When we become fully socialist which we need to start calling it what it is Communism (CHINA) and they own us now. They blacks will also be targeted they won't be elite enough and no way in hell do the elites in Government want them as neighbors. The Haitians and Immigrants from over 120 countries will be the work force. These blacks now reaping the rewards of stealing and crime laughing will be crying what happened?
Get ready people and I pray we wake up. I keep hearing on FOX and other conservative channes we must vote 2022. Well they will be scratching their heads soon wondering what happened as votes do not work not in the United States anyway.
This is a worldwide very well and very long orchestrated genocide. Only less than 1 percent of each country will be free. And it ain't you babe, it ain't all those blacks out there thinking whites are the problem. Most of us actually had no problem and many have friends of all colors. They have succeeded in dividing us for good. Unless we have a revolution we are in for one ugly ride. Hold onto your assessss as its right down the street and coming for you. If you think it isn't remember this post. God help us all if you are up there. -
I think you’re absolutely correct. Black people throughout history have hardly contributed anything to Western Civilization, or society for that matter. Much of black history taught in school focuses on how oppressed and disadvantaged they’ve been as a minority group. They want credit for things that they’ve never achieved or accomplished, which means always wanting to be included in white culture/society. Think about it, they consider white people so oppressive, but they move to predominantly white countries in droves. They want to move to white neighborhoods, and attend predominantly white schools.
How many white people are taking any African based classes in school, or college. Their contributions aren’t meaningful. They didn’t discover the Law of Gravity, or didn’t father physics. They didn’t establish our Nations institutions, or codify our laws, which is probably why they have little respect for our Nation’s laws to begin with. There wasn’t a Renaissance in Africa, or Age of Enlightenment. The fact is that they are allowed to have their own culture free from outside influences (BET). Simply look at all of the shows on TV and the movies being produced that are predominantly black, or that peddle the white people are racists demagoguery. Look at the NBA and NFL that was hijacked by blacks.
White people aren’t allowed their own culture, or allowed to operate independently of blacks; it’s clearly a power paradigm where they are free to have their culture, but white people cannot. They simply resent white culture, and they loathe that white people have something that they will never have. Let’s face it, their music, rap/hip hop, is denigrating, pseudo culture noise pollution garbage. Their history is a complete enigma because they’ve done nothing. Black nations and cities are lawless, violent, desolate places because they are completely incapable of self governance. Look at the African continent. They simply cannot assimilate theirselves into a society capable of functioning on the world stage.
They don’t have a Statue of Liberty, Constitution, or anything that compares to predominantly white Western civilization. They are jealous. Where is the African space program. What about the African CERN, or Hadron Collider? Blacks want to complain about being historically oppressed, but most of that oppression is attributable to their own people who would sell them into slavery, or their tribal nature that amounted to years of African warfare. Blacks are a historically violent people, and they are jealous that their history is incomparable. They couldn’t overcome their turbulence to amass something comparable to something as aspiring as the American Revolutionary War, and they can’t seem to assimilate together after a civil war similarly to the US. If you think there isn’t black racism than look at how South African whites are being treated post Apartheid. Violent black racists are skinning them alive, raping their women, and robbing them of all livelihood. South African laws have been codified so that only blacks can achieve success in businesses, or be allowed to capitalize on government incentives. Are there any laws like this that exists in the US?
Blacks are jealous of the fact that they will never have what white people do unless they domineer and usurp it. They complain about “white flight”, but why is it that not just white people, but other races of people don’t want to live next to them? Simply look at Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and basically any city that is predominant black/run by liberal/democrats. They have nothing unless they can power grab it from others. History seems to teach us that lesson. -
It's not racist to ask. It's a relevant question. I've noticed this more and more in the last decade, and it has gotten really bad since Covid 19 and the BLM riots. I just shut the World Series off for the first time in my life. It's the top of the 7th, and during the whole game I didn't see one commercial with a white alpha male, not one. 80% of the actors in the commercials were either black, Hispanic, or a minority from another country. If there was a white person, it was either a female, or some beta white male who is the butt of the jokes of the commercial. They even insulted Elton John. Of course this was a political statement of trying to insult old white men by young black males.
Anyway, I hope this changes. I feel completely insulted. I'm not sure I can sit through a whole NFL season with this going on. I am flabbergasted that any media board would dare to do something like this and then think that their main audience (white males) are going to keep watching. It defies reason and logic. -
it is a huge mistake, it is another version of charity and of "progressive" whites showing blacks that progressive whites are superior; "see how good we are that we help you because you can not help themselves". It is doing as much or more damage to blacks than straight racism; racists hate blacks. ; I think most people rather be hated than be the object of charity. The help for blacks should be limited to ensure their schools are as good as the best, after that they will have to swim on their own.
Black problems, like mother only families. will have to be solved by blacks themselves, by helping each other and change values. The difference between poor. mother only, drugs among blacks are the same as among whites, only that it happens more often.
Big mistake this condescending media charity. Just like promoting blacks because they are blacks, not on merit only; from now own many blacks will not know if they promote because of merit or color. Most whites, racist or not, will doubt the competence of all blacks.
How do blacks "promote" in the NBA?, merit only, whites are underrepresented there, and so it should be; for whatever reason, in spite of being only 1/10 of the US population. black players "are" the NBA.
All these equality policies are ineffective and unethical. -
"Social engineering" or getting America ready for the new majority that Biden and the globalist-butt-kissing government, are trying feverishly to create with their immigration policies... take your pick. The few commercials in which Whites are included, they are being portrayed as inane, backward dummies while their Black co-stars rein in their silliness or correct their uneducated thinking. This, incidentally, has a second intended end result, beside the obvious; the conditioning Americans to believe this narrative. The fantastical, unrealistic portrayal that Black people are superior and have to help along the slow White race, is apt to anger Black Americans as they gradually realize this in just NOT reality. It is the perfect excuse to play the oppressed victim of systemic racism..."THAT'S the reason our lives do not resemble those of the actors on TV".
Also speaking to this issue... Black Americans vineyard owners and high-society intellectuals vacationing at a ski lodge in Aspen... CEOs of Fortune 5oo corporations... all situations recent movies and ads have created to further anger Blacks and divide the races. -
Advertising is about money, just like everything else in the USA. Companies target people they think will spend money on their product or focus on a segment of the population that they have not tapped into before. For now, the focus is on black people's money and how to get more of it. I had noticed more black people in commercials. I wouldn't say it is ONLY black people. I have seen interracial couples of all combinations and more LGBTQ and physically and mentally challenged people represented. And it is still all about the money and how to get it out of people's pockets and into the business bank account. It's just business. For decades wealthy healthy white males and their families have been the focus. Companies now realize other people have money to spend and they want it. It is said that black people spend more on goods and services compared other groups. If you are a smart business owner and want your business to grow, who would you target? Don't take it personally. It will change again once the companies get what they want from this targeted group. It appears there is a rise in focus on Asians, so they may be the next money target.

This is a valid and important discussion. Two things are at play, fear and economics. What other race has received so much without effort yet, provided so little in return? Initially, I believed advertisers leveraged this as an opportunity to reduce costs by featuring multiple races to appeal to multiple viewers simultaneously. One commercial can be shown on BET, TNT, MTV, etc. However, this has become a mockery as these commercials in no way represent reality. Black male, white female, an effeminate fair skinned male, or a daughter that looks Hispanic, etc. Everyone sees these productions for what they are, a laughable distraction from the product or service being peddled. Again, many of these commercials could double as a 70’s SNL sketch. Controversial insurance pusher, State Farm is a good example. The smooth, omniscient pitchman is surrounded by chronically stupid and fumbling White men and woman. Black guy sighs, rolls his eyes and saves the day… I draw the line as the education and professional attainment of Black America is intentionally distorted at the expense of other accomplished races. Whites, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans have been largely eliminated to placate a militant and undeserving mob. Now we have 44M wards of the state and the other 289M are forced into guardianship.

I don't think everyone is aware of just how much free money has been handed out to black people the past few years. In addition to the standard public aid checks and food stamps the IRS has been giving them $3K per child tax rebates (even if they didn't pay taxes). Also, they were able to stop paying their rent when the government forbid evictions for 2-years. They are literally cash flush and every company advertising on TV is trying to get some of that cash. And, I'm sure everyone has noticed that the new cash cow for blacks is discrimination lawsuits - which are being filed for every reason imaginable, so the advertisers are also trying to avoid lawsuits. TV ads these days would have us believe that every white guy has a black best friend. Every white guy having a tailgate or home barbeque invites a couple of black couples. Apparently zillions of white guys have black girlfriends or wives, etc. etc. I am personally sick of it. The reality is white and black people generally don't hang with each other or live side by side (by choice of both races). The representation of blacks on TV as responsible, clean, well spoken, well dressed with good jobs living in nice homes is a big lie. The reality is much much different.
-
Agreed... this is happening on a MASSIVE scale. It is not just TV ads. It's ALL ads, everywhere, all the time, in all western countries. It's very intentional.
Numerous black people have noticed this too, since they're not blind and many are saying that its annoying for them too and that all this so-called "representation" isn't actually doing them any good. It's white liberals steering the ship of this insanity. They're bending the knee and virtue-signalling HARD.
I was just at the store looking at picture frames... a huge aisle There was ONE and I tell you, ONE white couple in the display within the frames. Every single other frame showed a black family/couple or mixed couples trotting gleefully through fields of flowers or they showed single Moms, swinging their children around. These were mostly frames by "Mainstays" sold in Walmart... so, feel free to go see for yourself.
All of this literally happened overnight. That's the real issue. As the population and demographics changed over time, things would have happened organically and slowly and literally no one would have noticed. This is far, far different. -
Because companies are scared to death of looking racist to the point they feel having a white person might back fire on them in several was. The white person is in the lead roll or that person is outed for saying or doing something outside the show that is controversial. I have a friend that works in Hollywood and they all say they are scared to death walking on egg shells!!! They are even hiring P. C. attorney's and reviewers. They have run out of black actors. You walk in black you are guaranteed your hired for something! It is destroying up and coming white talent and effecting our entertainment.

Was it black people who discovered electricity, invented every freaking thing we use today from cars, planes and trains to every electrical thing? The language black people speak, the God they have learned about and go to church for, and every single thing they use, including the TV or movies they are on and the education they may have, is the result of the genius of white people. So black people (the black advertising agencies that corporations use for tax credits, etc.), try to make white look like the dumb one. Talk about ingratitude, to say the least.

This is only a fade for in the next few years Latinos, the fastest growing race in the US, will out number Blacks 2 to 1. Latino immigrants often hold negative views of African-Americans so advertiser will rush to delete Blacks from ADS and place more White and Latinos in commercials and TV shows. We life in a mostly White community and my niece visiting from Columbia asked me about how come no Black people like on TV. I told her this was fake for only 13% in our country with most living in the inner city which we do not visit.
-
The media is supposed to reflect the society so as not to be racist.
However, black people get so much media exposure compared to other minorities that you would think they make up 55% of the population sometimes.
It's liberals overcompensating and trying to have their companies appear politically correct. -
I once talked to someone from Australia. He was shocked that black people made up 15% of the population. He said he thought America was only black and white lmao. I had to explain we have Asians, Hispanics and others here also but they are hardly on TV because they only hire white or black actors.
-
Rather than increase "diversity" in relationship to the percentage of blacks in the population, ad agencies went overboard and in the process forgot Asians and latinos.
This is typical of more is better mindset in commercial advertising where now we have to suffer through 25% of broadcast time to commercials which has driven many people to streaming services.
Maybe the agencies and broadcasters will eventually kill the goose that laid the golden egg! -
It's ridicules that commercials think that people, white in particular can be reprogrammed to believe 13% of the population is more powerful and in control. It's just to apiece that small percentage. When consumers have had enough and stop buying and watching anything related, things will go back to a realistic balance.
-
The advertisers can't possibly believe that 14 % of the population can support the products being advertised. I think they face the danger of non black viewers (white, oriental, hispanics, etc) boycotting their products as a silent protest to "overkill".

My wife and I think that the elites meeting in Davos, Switzerland have decided that for commerce profit purposes it is better to push the common persons to get all mixed into one brown race, and that way they can sell much more. Even when the elites themselves will not mix.

Anecdotally, they do seem overrepresented. Doing that probably keeps you from being harassed by the usual suspects.
