Sorry, Chris. You're right when you call Will Smith a cuckolded little bitch who gave away his balls to his whore of a wife, but when you said that white males are exaggerating, you were as wrong as you've ever been in your entire life.

Here are but two of countless examples.

Cool guy on the left, weak-ass fool on the right. Hey, douchebag!





Whitey, shut your fool mouth! And just look at her. She's like "Oh, ride me! Ride me, cowboy!!" Seriously, look at the expression on her face in the last couple of seconds.



White males are portrayed as fools, assholes, weak and inneffectual, arrogant or undeserving of all they have. Tell me I'm wrong.

I'll suggest Rock targets whitey in this way to give himself an opening to skewer some of the left's sacred calves. In his Netlix hour Rock's comments on abortion were remarkable, much more significant than ripping Will Smith. He also knows whitey won't push back.

None of that matters. The reason why he said it doesn't matter, nor do any of his other comments.

Chris Rock is wrong as can be on that point at best, a gaslighting tool of the leftist entertainment industry at worst. The White Male in ads with the attributes you describe has been an ever increasing fixture for the past 20 years.

I must be weak minded because I've been imagining it for 30 years. Not just commercials but more and more woke got worked into the shows until I no longer turned on the tv. Internet streaming has been a big help in finding shows that don't set out to insult me.

I'm not talking about the woke bullshit in general. I am referring specifically to the portrayal of white males in TV commercials, and this has not been happening for the last thirty years. I don't know how you get that. TV commercials in 1992? No. This is a fairly recent phenomenon, post 2008 and even then it started out slowly.

You're not.

Since at least 1984:

Huh? I don't see how that fits into what I'm pointing out, not at all.

Guys. Obama-era. That's when this stuff began in earnest, and it's taken a long time to get to the point we see in the two examples I posted, which are mild in comparison to others.

1984? Say what?? In 1984, black people were mere tokens on commercial television.

It's more than commercials. The wife taught grade school. You could see the curriculum was marginalizing white male kids from at least the 80's. I pointed that out to her, she clearly saw it. After that, she went out of her way to counteract the toxin. Not giving favor but not targeting and diminishing as was suggested if not mandated.

I'm talking about commercials on TV and you guys are trying to bring in creeping sociological changes happening over decades.

Have mercy, please.

Nothing in the 20th Century has to do with what I'm talking about. Really, have mercy.

Notice the creepy white guy in the doorbell camera and the female home improvement expert. Almost as unrealistic as the pimp who doubles as a house whisperer.

Replace the woman in the Apple commercial with a black guy and it’s exactly the point you are making. Looking at how the white men are portrayed from start to finish, they just stare out slack-jawed at the end even after being saved by the woman. The commercial paints a bleak picture of the future if white men are allowed to continue doing white male things.

Where it maybe different from your point is that it may not have been a purposeful dig on white males where as the portrayal of white males in current commercials is most definitely being done to denigrate white males.

Oh, I don't even know where to begin with that. Who do you think would be portraying the zombie-like workers in a commercial made in 1984? Replace the woman with a black guy? Why not replace her with a lawnmower or safety razor?

Please, have mercy. I don't want to lock my own thread. This century. Post 2008. Hello? McFly?

I've always been disgusted and pissed off by the "dumb white guy" commercials! And often it's the "smart wife" who makes the "dumb white guy" look dumb.

Another recent aspect of advertising is replacing the white male with a black one in couples. A black man with a white female. It is never the other way.

There’s a shit ton of commercials that poke fun of white men, and most dads.

Adam Sandburg screwing around with Snoop, being a dorky white guy is not a great example. If he were trying to fix a light fixture and being called an idiot by some chick pretending to be his wife, sure.

Sitting on the beach drinking a beer with Snoop Dogg, attempting to rap with the granddaddy of rappers is funny.

Not only commercials, but also most sitcoms.

Nearly every white dude I have seen on TV lately appears emasculated in manner, speech, dress and appearance.
