liberals like the mixed race family in the commercial. It makes us feel good.... like some things are getting better. Racists get to feel angry which is how they roll. The product name remains in the minds of both.

Think of the Skittles ad where the girl eats a skittles she takes of the face of the red haired boy. Gross. Or where the rasta man milks a giraffe to get skittles. Neither of these are platatable... not the people in the ads for a liberal but where the skittles come from in both cases. Why would skittles make ads like this? Two-track marketing. Reptilian brain negative marketing for racists is my guess. Maybe big business knows there was going to be a backlash to their ads to get people to vote GOP more often if they were in the middle?

Is there some kind of special filter? gratuitous Apr 2022 #1
