Sis,
A message board is one of the most challenging mediums to express yourself through b/c it's hard to gauge a person's tone or overall feeling on an issue. I'm just trying to spark conversation...and you know that we can hang out and sip martinis any day
.
Now, your points about Blacks voting 90% Democratic, and advertising being about the "bottom dollar" are well taken. But I do not agree with the idea of an entity taking advantage of someone's warped sense of self-perception. You said that, "this is a capitalist society...and if they can capitalize on these things...so be it." From that, it seemed as if your position was one of acceptance - I'm not sure. Personally, be it capitalist or not....it's improper and inexcusable. And you're right...we need to stop feeding into the BS. Nothing will change until we stop perpetuating these stereotypes...
