I actually noticed that nowadays there are so many commercials that use at least one black person in them. It seems many companies want to reach out to minorities. Perhaps, fast food companies actually are more 'successful' in their reaching out efforts.
Why not compare BET ads to other Viacom networks like CBS, VH1, Nick, TV Land, MTV, M2, Comedy Central, UPN, and Logo?
Compared to Disney? Apples to oranges. Probably more ads for cologne on BET too.
Is Disney considered "white"? What do young black children watch?
Oh well, so much for minority outreach ... you can't win for losing with these idiots.
Is there ANYTHING bad that happens to blacks that is NOT the product of prejudice?
I cut out television for lent. I finished off the second half of Atlas Shrugged in two days. Amazing what you don't have to worry about seeing when you don't watch television. Seeing fast food ads and crap ads was one of my main motivations for cutting out television. Thank goodness. I almost got sucked in though at the gym this afternoon by watching some of the euphemistically named 'Real World'.
As Willie Sutton would say, "because that's where the money is."
Makes sense. Since living as a family unit is "a white thing", it makes sense that fewer blacks cook at home and eat out more.
Don't whites watch BET? Don't blacks watch WB or Disney? This study proves very little. Maybe BET made a push to get the advertising, maybe its cheaper? Who knows? Flawed study if you ask me?
But they must also be changed to reflect black culture, black history, and black preferences, which are different from those of whites, because we MUST honor diversity.
ANY variation from these rules MUST be met by high-profile lawsuits, indignation, riots, and generous amounts of race-card playing.
What are they hinting at? Selling Tofu Chicken wings instead?
Evil exists -- KFC and MacD's.
