The SJWs complaining about calls it sick and tell their readers to brace for it. 



This might be the most racist commercial any company has ever produced.

A more than two-minute video produced by Procter & Gamble, the company that manufactures Cascade, Febreze, Mr. Clean, Tide, Swiffer, Downy and a plethora of products, shows various scenes of black parents talking with their children about racism.

The ad, titled “The Talk,” shows scenes of black parents, spanning generations, telling their kids about how the system is stacked against them, how racist white people are and teaching them to fear the police.

Sarcasm aside, I find it outrageously funny call video that speaks about racism. The most racist and sick thing ever. To many on the right no matter how black people speak about racism it is bad. 

BLM-Bad get out the streets.
Kaep- Bad Boy you better not take a Knee.
Now this ad.- Bad Just cus.. I guess.

are they going to make an ad about the white/asian/brown kids who are minorities in the school or community theyre a part of? they face bullying and racism too. if the discussion doesnt include everyone's struggles it's just going to alienate and divide.

Yep, I remember that. On more than one occasion he'd post about teaching his kid to not listen to the police because they're all out to get black people. Quality user, that one.

It's not over by any means. Black Americans have it tough. 
I myself am often a victim of racism but it isn't taken seriously since most people who mock me, talk s*** about me and say I can't speak English (without ever talking to me), or make weird noises pretending it's Chinese are in fact black. 
Just an observation not like saying that's how most people are lol.

I mean, when a black person does well at something, they're often seen as getting preferential treatment. black people are often harassed by the police, that's why "driving while black" has been a thing for generations. when black people are complimented for their features, they often get the "for a black girl/guy" qualifier. studies have shown that people often see white children as being more innocent than black children. and so on. 

the video got a lot of those notes, because those issues still exist.

This is what it made me think of. The last two points are something that anti-black racists are always b****ing about. 

"Well, why didn't he have an ID?"

"Well, how come he/she didn't act right when they were pulled over?"

Always b****ing about this s*** but teaching black kids how to look out for themselves by doing what you f***ing say they should is bad?

Can't f***ing win and just exposes that racists just want to be whiny punk ass racist b****es.

It was OK until it got to the cop part. Black people are not any more likely to be shot or killed when pulled over by a cop than white people are. Do I have to cite the studies again, TC? Stop peddling hateful propaganda about cops and less people will have a problem with it.

The likelihood of being pulled over and shot by cop is almost nonexistent for any race of people in the US, especially for women.

That's because most of those countries ended slavery (assuming there was a slave trade) decades before us and then went on to become nations where black people are the majority instead of the minority. So there's none of the racism, institutional or otherwise, keeping them down. Then consider that you have to already be extraordinary to even emigrate here. You're trying to draw a contradiction where there is none.

Those people are fleeing their countries because their countries are awful places to be. They want to be in the land of opportunity, not those third world countries. That's why my family immigrated to America too. And a bunch of us come with nothing, and yet we excel in every area more than Americans who were born here and raised here for generations.

It's simple - people who come here with nothing and who were not exposed to victim rhetoric end up outclassing literally everyone else. It's more than possible. That's why everyone wants to come to America.

Not all of the black immigrants in this country are refugees fleeing home. In fact I've yet to meet any black refugee immigrants. Not from Africa, nor from the Caribbean. I don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't say that black immigrants are refugees fleeing from home. I said that they are immigrating to America because America is a far better country to be in, with much more opportunity, freedom, and equality. And who you have met is irrelevant, because your anecdotes are irrelevant.

You don't have to be a refugee to emigrate to this country with hardly anything. Do you think black people who come here are already financially established people? I seriously doubt it from my experience living in NYC for 20 years

    My dad one gave me the talk about bringing my ID where I go too, and I'm not black. It turns out that taking your ID with you is necessary! Also, I got picked on because of my race when I was a kid too. The truth is that when you're a minority in your environment or a community, you're going to get picked on. How come that isn't ever brought up though? Why aren't white/brown/asian minorities and their struggles included too? That'd make the ad a lot more relevant, no?

    I can't speak for white people that are minorites in their areas, people of Asian or Hispanic descent, etc., but it's enough of an issue for black people across the country (even in black neighborhoods) that many black people feel "the talk" is necessary. 

    if other communities wanna do the same thing, I encourage them to, since it'll make a lot more people's lives easier.

    It's simple - people who come here with nothing and who were not exposed to victim rhetoric end up outclassing literally everyone else. It's more than possible. That's why everyone wants to come to America.

    Not all of the black emigrants in this country are refugees fleeing home. In fact I've yet to meet any black refugee emigrants. Not from Africa, nor from the Caribbean. I don't know what you're talking about.


    I didn't say that black immigrants are refugees fleeing from home. I said that they are immigrating to America because America is a far better country to be in, with much more opportunity, freedom, and equality. And who you have met is irrelevant, because your anecdotes are irrelevant.

    My anecdote is no less limiting than your diaspora narrative in trying to understand why many black immigrants don't share black Americans experience with racism. At least until they encounter the person who can't or won't appreciate the differences in their cultural upbringing and only sees skin color.

    What's interesting is how the Democrat party has been doing this for decades, and it's been so effective at keeping people down. Whereas black people who come to America from other countries don't have the same issues.


    I love who you two act like victims should not feel victimized . Literally Admirals favorite police force have been once more found to be planting evidence on people.


    I'm pretty sure Admiral denounced cops that plant evidence. Anyone who is sane would denounce them, dude. Why are you trying to assassinate his character?

    I can't speak for white people that are minorites in their areas, people of Asian or Hispanic descent, etc., but it's enough of an issue for black people across the country (even in black neighborhoods) that many black people feel "the talk" is necessary. 

    if other communities wanna do the same thing, I encourage them to, since it'll make a lot more people's lives easier.

    Edit: at post 51


    How much of the talk is necessary because the talk keeps cropping up as a center-piece of the narrative within the community? Because last I checked of the data, there were more black women graduating college than any other race or gender, more white people are wrongfully killed by cops, etc. Are you saying that the majority of black people have to fear cops or forgetting their ID at home in 2017?

    And I grew up as a white kid in an almost entirely non-white community. The victim narrative never seems to include people like me, though, or Asians or brown people or other white people who were in some way a minority within a community or a school. If the idea is to be inclusive and eliminate racial tensions, you need to include everyone. Right now videos like these might address part of the truth but they do so in a way that alienates everyone else and makes innocent people feel like they're responsible for something they didn't do.

    That's because most of those countries ended slavery (assuming there was a slave trade) decades before us and then went on to become nations where black people are the majority instead of the minority. So there's none of the racism, institutional or otherwise, keeping them down. Then consider that you have to already be extraordinary to even emigrate here. You're trying to draw a contradiction where there is none.

When was the last time we asked about the cultural upbringing immigrants had and how it differs from the cultural upbringing of blacks and whites who were born in America and raised here for generations?

    Who did I assassinate his character, he defends the Baltimore place all the time. However we have case after case of them doing stuff like this. And people tell him about how bad they are in cases with out video footage he doesn't want to hear them.

    Now this ad.- Bad Just cus.. I guess.

    This is what it made me think of. The last two points are something that anti-black racists are always b****ing about. 

    "Well, why didn't he have an ID?"

    "Well, how come he/she didn't act right when they were pulled over?"

    Always b****ing about this s*** but teaching black kids how to look out for themselves by doing what you f***ing say they should is bad?

    Can't f***ing win and just exposes that racists just want to be whiny punk ass racist b****es.


    Every decent parent regardless of race has that discussion with their children. It's called socialization and parenting. It's some pretty basic ****.

    The idea isn't to be inclusive. The idea is to draw attention to one group's continuing effort to cope with various forms racial inequality in America though "the Talk." That one group is specifically black people. It's not about racial unity or some vague "we're all humans" platitude.

    I can't control how you feel about this video, but I can assure you with one-hundred percent certainly that it's not about you.

    at post 58 (my phone sucks at quoting sometimes) 

    the issue is bigger than black women going to college, or remembering to bring your ID along; it's about perceptions. 

    if it's about accomplishment, it's because of a handicap. if it's about beauty, it's with an asterisk. 

    and as far as safety goes, a black kid isn't always gonna know that he/she might be seen a certain way, and that the best way to avoid conflict is to be aware of potential threats, and how to deal with them. 

    maybe things are better know, but we're talking about a generational thing, where experience is passed along about "the black experience". not all families do it, but it's a thing

    This comes up pretty often conversations about the cultural erasure of the term "African American" when used to describe people who didn't emigrate from Africa, or the experience of having the label of "black" and all its implications suddenly thrust upon you when you move here despite living your whole life prior without all that cultural baggage. The conversations are happening and the general educated consensus is that these distinctions (and indeed race itself) are unscientific reductive and useless at describing anything except cultural bias. But that nugget has yet to filter into our cultural understanding of race which continues to affect law, economics, realpolitik, etc.

    I'm kinda confused. It seems to just serve as a warning to black people that racism exists, and some stuff to be prepared for

    Because they didn't talk about Hispanic/Asian/White problems. Therefore it's safe to assume the people behind the commercial don't believe they face any problems, and only black people have problems. 


    At least that's what I'm getting from the other side.

    Do black families seriously indoctrinate their children with this victim complex propaganda?


    Have you ever talked to a black person in your life?


    Of course. 

    Were you told stuff like this when you were a child?


    I experienced that stuff as a child too. I had to have the conversation with my parents before they were even thinking they had to or were ready to when I was 5 years old and first made aware of what race was. Look, you are just out of line to call it a victim complex. It's literally an alternate set of rules of engagement with the world. I know I'm wasting my time actually showing my heart on this subject, but you have no real basis to call it propaganda or a victim complex. You think you're the first person to present this argument? It's not original and has been responded to thousands of times. You haven't presented a valid statement just because you refused to listen the other myriad of times.

    I mean, who are you to say that we're viewing ourselves as victims?
    If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.
