I know, I know. White men are totally inept idiots, who have to be saved by a wise black man. I'd love to see someone do a study on that propaganda practice.

Ain't THAT the truth! I've noticed, every time they have a comparison commercial, ("This person uses crummy Brand X, while this person is smart enough to use the right brand,") you can bet your bottom dollar it's an attractive, professional-looking, brilliant black person using the correct brand, while the clueless, hapless dum-dum struggling with the inferior brand is white. I have literally never seen it otherwise. Don't these companies want white customers???

Check out the home alarm commercials, too. Whenever they depict a sinister-looking burglar breaking in through the window, it's always, always a white guy.

Exactly. There's that Progressive Insurance commercial where the black guy has put the white guy's head through the wall while they were playing 'some one on one.' The black guy lets the white guy stay there -- with his head stuck in the wall -- until he checks around and gets the best price quotes.

White men are usually portrayed as helpless morons in commercials.

If you think the TV shows are racist against whites, watch a few commercials...and also note the vanishing white male from most to all printed advertising and promotions. The trend is from the youngest to the oldest age specific products.
