one year ago. Damn the msm are smooth operators.

About a year ago, I watched CNN for about three hours and noticed not one black person. I also noticed that none of the other networks had any AA on either. I thought to myself, my what a change from when Clinton was in.

Now look at these sly bastards. They know that change is in the air and they better get with the program. It's more than obvious to me of the games these folks play.

Look at the msm now and see all the black folks on. Unlike some people, I remember yesterday as well as today and I have a long attention span.

Shame on you msm.

1. What I've noticed is how many black people are in TV commercials.
I personally prefer commercials with black people (I'm white), just as a relief from the snow-whiteness of the actual programming, not to mention my highly-white neighborhood, although I do have a Muslim family living next door (they're great).

3. and in my red-necked neighborhood it's great to see some color
I feel like I should wave at any blacks I see walking around our lilly white area.

5. For me, diversity in a neighborhood seems more natural.
But I know there are many who find diversity threatening, preferring to see themselves reflected back at them everywhere they go.

2. I've noticed more minorities on TV commercials -- especially Asian Americans.
As an Asian American myself, the new turn of events is reassuring. Nice to see.

4. In re: advertising
Many clients are savvy enough to specifically require what is called 'diversity' in their television spots. Anyone who doesn't is dumb, imho, because we consumers come in all shapes and colors. You would be surprised at how many just don't get that concept, though.
