Commercials

Have you ever noticed if there is a "black related" show or event on television the majority of commericals seems to be desginated to a black audience? Why does that happen? The recent McDonald commercials have really have done this too. They seem to make the whole commerical "black" by even changing the McDondald's jingle to a more hip hop vibe. They also feature all black damilies and have a focus on strereoptypical black trends like fried chicken, cajun spices and sweet tea. If commericals AND the televison shows are both negative how do we expect anyone to not assume these portrayls are true? There is no end the strereotypes.

An example demonstrated by KFC of extreme overt stereotyping.
