Black Americans Are Disproportionately Represented In Commercials

[SteveSanders]

Former SCORPIONS and current KINGDOM COME drummer James Kottak says that blacks in American ads and commercials are way overrepresented relative to their population share.

Late Tuesday night (November 26), Kottak took to his Twitter to write: "OK so the percentage of black Americans in the US is about 13% so why are they represented 50 to 60% on all commercials? Just saying call me out if you have a reasonable argument?"

A short time later, he added: "Maybe none of you have any balls to speak the truth?"

This is not the first time Kottak has called out what he sees as disproportionate representation of certain races in advertising. This past October, he tweeted that he was "sick" of seeing commercials featuring "interracial couples," insisting that "this is not reality. It is Hollywood shoving it down our throat," he added. "I don't have one friend or friends who live in this category...just saying"

Well the man is right I kinda thought everyone already knew this though..

Good thing it’s winter. Otherwise the snowflake would melt.

He's an idiot. When I see commercials I watch for the product and it has never mattered if the actor(s) are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. If I like the product, I will pay attention. If I'm not interested in the product, I pay it no mind, no matter who is in the commercial.

People are people.

So, for James Kottak to actually make it public that he believes just because there is a black person representing a product in a commercial, that the product is only for black people, makes him incredibly ignorant and his argument weak.

It's just for inclusion. Marketers don't want anyone feeling like they can't use their product, so they over do it with the inclusion.

Cut him some slack bro...he's just not as virtuous as you.

Your handle and red make perfect sense.

[semitope]

a company could be putting 20 ads out and all could include whites blacks and asians. Its not something that adheres to statistics because its done intentionally to make ads effective. it will depend on their data.

That isnt what he is saying at all.
I dont know what the actual numbers are, but I believe blacks are outrageously over-represented in ALL media, not just commercials.

[crupiea]

no body cares

[gluon]

in reality its only done to keep white liberals from crying.

Public scrutiny demands it. But where is there a rule written that people can only be represented relative to the percentage of the population they inhabit? Pretty dumb argument. I wish everybody could just forget about skin color. It's almost 2020 and for some reason melanin is still important.

[NYPat]

OMG why should white people have to watch fuking black commercials when they only amount to 13% of the country? OMG thi makes me fuking rage!!

WTF!!

Imagine thinking the only difference in regards to race is melanin LOL. Guess the NBA is mostly black because dark skin makes it harder for the defender to follow you through a pick?

WTF!!

Remember that time there were no black nominations at the Oscars and there was a chitstorm that followed even though black nominations over many years had been proportionate to their population percentage? Well blacks dominated the next year and they've been continuously over represented since.

Try not to dribble all over yourself when misrepresenting my argument. I specifically said skin color, which is a difference in melanin. Imagine having a reading comprehension that doesn't exceed your personal bias.

Well you said skin color when the thread is about race. Btw, tribalism will never go away. It's part of the human condition.

It's that line of thinking that keeps tribalism from going away. There's plenty of race mixing going on. It's a trivial thing to get worked up about.

[superiorlogic]

The reason they're over-represented in commercials is corporations are loyal to the dollar and nothing else.

[KINGFABIAN]

The same old posters trying to turn the R&P into st0rmfrnt light as usual. Continue raging over people that look different than yourselves, what a miserable existence. Lmao

[KINGFABIAN]

No it applies to your family all the same. Keep being a great anti immigration example ungrateful ******* LOL.

The funny thing and best part is it also applies to your family. LoL at everyone I hate is an “immigrant and if not at least there great great grandparents were immigrants” childish mentality ******* LoL.

[IawI]

Should checkout the crime statistics they’re over represented there too

[Judgment]

I mean interracial relationships aren't that prevalent, that isn't a big factor. Changing is the exact opposite of assimilation.

You admitted you probably have different races in your DNA. Race mixing has been going on for a very long time and it's plenty prevalent today.

It wasn't a country before white people got here. It was rival tribes fighting for supremacy. Regardless, I don't welcome my own race's destruction because of white guilt.

Our definition of "country", or not, it was taken from other people. Then it was built with other people. Lots of Italians moved here, and a lot of slavery helped build America.

Your race isn't being "destroyed". Again, fukking someone from another race means you create a mixed child of both races. How is that destruction? I feel like you're driving towards skin color here.

I wish you could see what a trivial and weak position you're taking on this. I won't judge you because this is just where you are in your life's journey and, I hope, that could change. But race/skin color is not the enemy; Stupidity is. Which comes in all shapes, sizes, races and colors. I had a narrow minded view once, too, until I had the privilege of serving with people from all backgrounds. They're all my brothers in arms and we all fought for and believed in the same thing.

Race/Color is seriously a miniscule thing to hold back humanity's potential.

Didn't you neg me once and leave a completely unrelated comment about the white race in my CP?

I agree with him, the other day I saw a commercial, I think it was for Nissan cars, and I couldn't believe my eyes, they showed 3...not one, not 2, but 3! interracial couples, where the man was black and the woman was either white or possibly light skin latina, I was like wtf? that ain't cool, you know, why push this interracial idea? why?? when everyone knows the white race is dying and some say the white race will be ''extinct'' by the year 2750

*you're

I'm not for open borders, lawlessness or even reparations. Another weak position. I'm also just not a racist pig. Have you served in our military along with the people you're literally dogging out right now, in order to defend said "white country"? You still have yet to explain to me how your race is being destroyed if you have a kid with an Asian woman. Care to elaborate?

For someone who goes in about "IQ" and "intelligence", you look very, very stupid when you're not able to defend your position and resort to fallacies.

[armies]

They're disproportionately represented in prisons too... just saying

Because you fail to see the big picture, you have to think in big terms, what will the world be like in the year 3000, in the year 4000? in the year 10,000 and even in the year 1,000,000, and please don't say ''Oh Idc I'll be dead by then'', the truth is the white race is dying and this is sad, and a big disgrace, but to even talk about it is considered to be politically incorrect

[TaeBoNinja]

Whites are actually over-represented in commercials. Not sure what commercials OP is watching.
