Usage of the N-word on Twitter just shot up 300%

 

[Ichinisan]

Cute. Better than the other one I think.

The expression on her face after she says "puppy" = cuteness x 1000.

I heard Mommy tell aunty that she likes the BBC. She must really like watching the news, news is boring.

why aren't black female and white male interracial couples ever portrayed?

Because that's more socially acceptable.

Women enjoy the in-depth coverage that the BBC offers.

 

[Spoooon]

Great commercial.

 

[darkewaffle]

I'm so offended I might go blind!

Just to confuse people they should have made the kid asian.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Damn media,... forcing us to become multicultural!!

Maybe she should have two daddies.

Coal Burner.

Yeah, I still don't understand the uproar.

Let me get this straight though, commerical posts on YouTube, racially charged comments are made on YouTube, and commercial gets more publicity?

Hell, if that's the way it works, EVERY SINGLE VIDEO on YouTube should get media coverage, along with every Xbox Live game I've ever joined. If YouTube would just filter every variation of the "N" word posted in comments, they could probably save a ton of bandwidth and disc storage.

The Ad executives knew that trolling for racist posts using a Biracial child would get lots of eyeballs on the product and sell more cereal to the masses.

I think it was a smart move.

Cherrios - the preferred breakfast cereal of race baiters everywhere.

What General Mills is doing is what Traders call "Pairs trading"

They know that the Stormfront audience is small, so they "Go short" black hating white supremacists and "Go Long" black loving liberals.

In essence they lose the small racist population when it comes to cereal sales, but they gain huge sales from the much larger Liberal population who will purchase a box to show solidarity and to show support for anti racism.

Short BHWS long BLL position. PROFIT!

The trend is to adopt from asian countries though, isn't it? Or is that trend over?

I know the Cadillac SRX commercial where the fathers picking up kids from school are staring at the lady in the Cadillac has an asian or hispanic kid pulling on a black guy. 18 second point.

The Cheerios brand is already the number one breakfast cereal in the US, something like 1 in every 8 boxes sold. Additionally, Honey Nut Cheerios is the favorite breakfast cereal (by a huge margin) amongst Black Americans. So they commercial makes perfect sense.

EDIT: Just watched the commercial, seems a little lame, forced and awkward to me.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

That lady looks black to me. Look at her facial features.

 

[shortylickens]

I think its sad that in 2014 theres still Americans with hostility towards race mixing.


Europe has been comfortable with this idea for decades.

They are fighting racism by buying cereal purely due to the skin colors of the people in the commercials? IE making choices purely due to the skin colors of those involved??



That sounds like racism to me.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

I suppose this falls into the modern progressive mindset of "fighting racism with racism"?

Is it like a double negative? When you're racist against racism they cancel out?

Because it almost never happens in RL.
