1. Powerful! Made my heart sink, but then that smile on the white guy's face as he drives

off and that message "The will to succeed is always welcome here" made my heart soar.

It shows that not all White Americans are Trumpsters and Haters.

Thank you for posting this.

3. Wow - $5.02 million x 11.5ea .5 minutes would be quite an investment for a company.

It'll certainly affect those who agree with the message. Unfortunately the haters will not get it.

5. Also interesting - is this a Fox or NFL censor?

A building material company that submitted its first-ever Super Bowl ad this year was forced to revise the commercial after Fox determined the subject matter was “too contoversial,” the New York Times reports.

84 Lumber, a Pennsylvania-based building materials supplier, originally intended to air a Super Bowl commercial featuring a Spanish-speaking woman and girl who are fleeing their home country. In the ad, the family hits a nation’s border wall, only to find a doorway that permits them to enter the country.

Now, only the part of the ad not including the wall will play before Sunday’s Half Time show.
...
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league was in its right not to air the original ad.

“We review spots to ensure they do not violate our advertising policies,” McCarthy said.
“The ad that will air does not violate our policies.”

7. Just curious, what evidence is there that fox censored it?

It is part of a 5+ minute piece, so a lot of it was "censored" in the sense that it's a 30 sec or one minute ad.

10. That's disgusting

They wake up early, work hard, keep their family together, and try to build a better life. Sorry, but that sort of attitude has no place in Trump's American dream. Why aren't they buying more stuff at Walmart like good Americans?

What's next... teaching their children critical thinking?
