The commercial starts with a black guy driving and Alicia Keyes in VO, talking about the smart drive app and who you want to drive like. So it shifts to who you don't want to drive like. The first guy is a white guy doing burnouts and donuts in an empty parking lot. The second person is a white women crying while driving, so she is swerving. The third person is a white man driving while doing business, and driving distracted. The commercial cuts back to the black driver, driving with hands at 10 and 2 and Alicia Keyes ends her VO to end the commercial.
I know the normies will say it's no big deal but come on it's two black people being critical of three white people. I don't think it wasn't intentional and was done on purpose to demoralize white people.
No, but I am used to noticing subliminals. You know how they normally try to hide it, it's just so overt.
It hasn't been covert in forever. I was noticing this back in the early '90s as a teenager. If there's a foil/antagonist/hopeless idiot in the ad, it will always be a white guy. In the '90s, it was far more common for both the protagonist and the idiots to both be white guys, but if there was some combination of white guy + anything but white guy, the white guy would never be the protagonist.
Now, every commercial must have black people in it (unless it's for a home security system, STD medication, or government euthanasia) so the white guy in modern advertising is simply never the protagonist.
What I distinctly remember from back then was the bumbling idiot dad and intelligent wife combo. Whether in sitcoms or commercials, that pattern was a constant. I also remember a Cracked.com article where the writer was insulting paranoid males who imagine some pattern of bumbling idiot dads and intelligent wives on TV, confirming to me that it was true.
Man, Cracked.com used to be so good.
90% of ads start with a black person playing some major role in the commercial. It’s so frequent that’s the only reason I even noticed
