A more than two-minute video produced by Procter & Gamble, the company that manufactures Cascade, Febreze, Mr. Clean, Tide, Swiffer, Downy and a plethora of products, shows various scenes of black parents talking with their children about racism. The ad, titled “The Talk,” shows scenes of black parents, spanning generations, telling their kids about how the system is stacked against them, how racist white people are and teaching them to fear the police.


The war on white people is real and corporations are leading the charge.

If a good portion of white people weren't brainwashed to feel guilty we could nip all this shite in the bud by not opening our wallets to these types.

Advertising in this country is bizarrely skewed towards black people.

Black people make up 14% of the population and a recent study said they make up 40% of primetime, network commercial actors and at least 1 black is present in close to 70% of all ads.

Advertisers have this weird hard on for appealing to blacks in a crazy disproportionate way.

Will say the same thing I said when Chik-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, Coke and others made the news.

It's best to stay away from politics. MKTG 101.

I cut P&G off when they were revealed to be devil worshipers in the 1980's.

So the kids have no problem with the world until some jaded adults jam a bunch of their own misplaced insecurities down their throats and beat the joy out of them?

Did anyone else catch that

"You can do anything they can, different is you have to work twice as hard and be twice as smart"

Higher education disagrees

The lawsuit cites a 2009 study by Princeton sociologists that concluded that while the average Asian American applicant needed a much higher 1460 SAT score to be admitted, a white student with similar GPA and other qualifications only needed a score of 1320, while blacks needed 1010 and Hispanics 1190.

Well now, that takes "going full retard" to a new level.

I think I'll contact P&G and let them know what a FORMER customer thinks.

Actually mom, most studies show that if dad had stuck around I'd be just as successful without working any harder.

You think that's racist? How about the racist imagery on most laundry commercials that implies that white is "clean" and somehow better than other colors!

Mr. Clean is white.

Tide makes whites whiter.

Downy baby is white.

I just now whatched it and was coming to post about it. There is nothing like trying to confirm what most black people already think, that all white people and police are racists and either want to kill or hold back blacks.
Great job P&G!

Im just getting to the age where I'm more conscious about what companies I spend my money with and what they support. I'm just not quite as petty as the dumbasses protesting chick fil a for being a Christian run company

Jesus this is cringe worthy. Work twice as hard? Yeah except for when someone jumps a white kid with the exact same grades due to affirmative action

I suppose I was ok with the scenes of racism from the past. Seems they could have shown all the black athletes on all types of youth teams, and the black folks winning beauty contests to show the progress made...and celebrated it.

The decision to indict police was just stupid.


Team Persil has plenty of spots.
