I can't stand this commercial. Many find it funny. I don't! Why? It conjures up a stereotype of what many in this country perceive to be "typical" black woman with the mannerisms, tone of her voice and much more. If they had cast a white woman, would she have made the same entrance? Would Michelle Obama, Oprah, Cecily Tyson and hundreds more black women...including all those I know and are close to me, deliver that message the same way? No? If they had cast a white woman, would she have made the same entrance? No! Hell no!
Here's another one that really ticks me off!
