"Advertising" the Ultimate "Mind-Eff" ??
We all know the power of "Advertising" in Politics. There are Billions of dollars being thrown around already in the "preparation" of the voter's minds for the 2014 and 2016 elections. But what about all of the other "Ads" we're bombarded with daily on T.V.; and everywhere else around?? Think about it -- how many ads have you seen lately where the "non-white" is there as a "sticker", or "paste-on"??
They don't fit the overall setting or "plot" of the advertising. The "setting" is always white, and the non-white is thrown in either as an after-thought, or, in some bizarre role that is not somehow "appropriate" for one of the white characters. Check it out!
The end of segregation was supposed to signal the end of white supremacy; but not in advertising!
The "color-line" is crystal clear (subliminally, for the whites) in advertising. Sit-com writers follow advertising in designing their plots so they can "stick-in" a little "color". We should stop tolerating this; for a number of reasons!
Before the Civil Rights legislation of the mid-sixties, I had a conversation with my white "token" female officer co-worker in the Air Force about the Nat King Cole Show in the 50's. I asked her why she thought white America did not support the show's advertisers. She told me that seeing a black man on T.V. in a role, other than a buffoon or butler was "too shocking" for whites in 1957. The show was cancelled. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/764916/The-Nat-King-Cole-Show
"Always a member of the house-hold; Never a member of the family" was an old saying among blacks that traces back to the Plantations of old. Advertising has managed to keep it alive after more than 50 years of "integration" And we permit them to do it!
How do we stop it? Refuse to buy the product that is promoted in any ad that practices this technique.
Just for "sh*ts and giggles", see how many ads you can count that practice this (and sit-coms). You will be very surprised at the cleverness employed by these agencies to keep segregation alive. White parents might also check this out. Some have wondered aloud how their babies "catch" racist attitudes when they are not taught in the home. Check out your T.V.!
If white "demographics" are really declining, is this an "opening" for some savvy "non-white" advertising agencies?
Stay Vigilant! Stop supporting your enemies.
