Is the Gillette video racist?

Yes, of course. It was full of white shaming. Dad bod whites, and blacks in good shape. Blacks mainly the hero and a well-built black dad with his daughter being a good guy (the irony, looking at single mother households for blacks). Another well-built BLACK MAN defending a WOMAN from a WHITE MAN. You don’t see a white man defending a woman from a black man. (Black on white sexual crime way more rampant than you would imagine, by the way). Terry Crews speaking out... It’s all part of the agenda. You think feminism is the only one?!

White man bad. Beard man bad.

I don't know if you can call it 'racist', but they definitely did it on purpose and tried to be as PC/leftist as possible.

always trust your gut

Minorities can't be rasscist don't be ridiculous, only white man

Also another thing to note is that the only time the black guys were the bad guys (arguing/starting a fight) it was a black guy breaking up the argument/fight, not a white guy. And it was a group with only black guys. No white hero. White man bad.

yes, but in the approved direction

ZhmaoZao · 2019-01-18T12:08:28+00:00

I noticed it too. Why do minorities suddenly have to be society's conscience or the voices of wisdom? And that first guy only ever rubber necked, he didn't do anything.

I think it's not that simple. You might even be able to make the case that It's trying to influence black viewer's psychology by showing them strong role models that they might want to emulate. In that sense it could be seen as racist but in the opposite direction (implying they need these role models more). It's well known in marketing that showing people positive representations of themselves using your product or acting in a way you want them to act is an effective way to get them to emulate those actions and buy your product. If anything, it's good to show black people these strong, well adjusted black men because black viewers are in need of strong male role models given their higher rate of absent fathers.

You been living under a rock? The anti-white narrative has been on overdrive for the past decade. The ruling class wants to establish a world government. Kinda hard to do that when there are multiple different ethnicities with unique cultures with their own beliefs and lifestyles.

Just carry on and marry your daughters off to black men so the world can see how not racist you are.

Who gives a shit. Are you OFFENDED ? The best thing you can do concerning ads, is literally ignoring them.

MisterDSTP · 2019-01-18T13:27:40+00:00

Funny because for decades it's been the opposite and the majority of Americans never acknowledged it and even denied it.

I agree the agenda is obvious and annoying. But it is funny seeing white people blowing a gasket about things oppressed people have been enduring for basically ever.

You were Born Guilty

It’s not because you need validation so you are cool if others say it’s racist then ok it’s racist

The day of rope is comming.

When Hitler did it, it was called Propaganda. But if you're selling razors? Well, that's progress!

You noticed color, I noticed dudes.

Its hate speech, there should be prosecutions of Gilette exexutives.

Rasheediscool · 2019-01-18T15:13:37+00:00

Yes the one instance of this happening. How many shows and movies always have the black guy has the violent thing, rapper, criminal, etc and the white guy have to come save the day.

You're reaching hard with this one

BurningOrangeHeaven · 2019-01-18T15:26:30+00:00

Its probably just cuz - if i recall correctly - black people have high brand loyalty, so advertising to them is probably just more effective in terms of spending.

Also everything is being made into a "cuz im black" issue.

Im not black or white this is just my outside opinion.
