| Khuutra said: Nobody sees the racism inherent in depicting white and black people at each other's throats in the middle of a political landscape where such tensions were relevant thanks to Imperialism not so long ago, and are still relevant today? Nobody sees it as racist that the black woman is presented in exactly two lights in the ads? Those being either utterly submissive (see: OP) or a violent berserker? Really? Nobody sees the playing up of racial tensions in a tense society as a bad thing? What, is blackface just funny now, too? Did I miss the cultural paradigm shift where it became both sensible and hilarious to mock hundreds of years of racial oppression and violence? That ad series was horrible when it was released, it's horrible now, and it would be horrible no matter who was behind it. |
I can tell your white....
