Ricki Lake
Good morning ladies and gents
I was watching tv recently and saw a commercial that was for a Ricki Lake show. The commercial starts with two white women standing in front of two upstairs apartments of what appears to be a run down motel. The two ladies are dressed in flowered house dresses, rollers, and head rags. They are smoking and drinking and laughing. Their lines go something like this . . . "Gurl, did you see so and so?" "I don't believe she had the nerve to blah blah blah" Well, the title of this Ricki Lake show is "White Women that Act Black". Now, why I don't like this commercial . . . excuse this, but it has pissed me off . . . What in the hell makes Ricki Lake think these women are "acting" black instead of just acting like trailer trash?! I am extremely offended by this commercial and I am no longer watching anything that supports Ricki Lake.
So, I was wondering if this mess of a commercial had aired anywhere else besides here. If so, did anyone else find it stereotypical and offensive.
