ABC angers audience with racial anti-Trump promo during NFL game

Now, imagine 8 years ago if a show called White-ish had a similar episode about a particular President elect.
quote:
In the promo, which bills the episode as the “election through the eyes of Black-ish”, Lucy (a white character played by Christine Reitman) tells her predominantly African-American co-workers: “I voted for Trump!” before adding the clichéd justification, “I’m a racist? I have black friends!”
quote:
The liberal ABC-Disney Television Network generated outrage during its televised coverage of the Houston Texans’ victory over the Oakland Raiders Saturday night in the Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs, but it had nothing to do with the football.
quote:
In another scene, her colleague Daphne (Wanda Sykes) appears to kick out at her for merely expressing that she had chosen to cast her vote for the Republican Party
quote:
Why does the NFL keep playing an anti-Trump commercial for the terrible show Blackish?” wrote one tweeter. “They must not know their audience”. Another viewer fumed: “I am offended at the preview for the show #blackish about voting for Trump makes you a racist!”

We need a white Jesse Jackson up in there asking them about the shows picks in actors, and their lack of diversification.

Has Anthony Anderson ever turned down a role?

All that said wonder how the NFL ratings were
Horrible slate of games vs horrible weather
Wonder what the rating results were. Did Obama turn on the weather machine to help NFL?

If you are so offended by it, don't watch ABC, problem solved. Let the "free market" work itself out.

Too bad. Trump has done racist things in his life—DOJ reports confirm this—so if you voted for Trump, you don't get to be offended at being associated with racism. Be a man and take your medicine. You can't melt you way away from this.

I think everyone would agree to this. However, it's the hypocrisy that pisses people off.

It has been and I imagine it will continue to do so. The worst NFL ratings in years happened this year. This is why despite the spin Goodell, ESPN and others are trying to use. I haven't watched a game all season and to be honest, I don't miss it.
