The last few years we've entered this strange era where a huge % of commercials you see on TV are actually political/social propaganda than they are trying to sell a product. This cartoon I saw sorta nails it

The old mantra was Capitalism and the desire for the buck wins out.
True, not anymore.
Or companies now think that shite like this wins the buck in the end.
Imagine an Airline doing that with Africa, telling Africans to go frick themselves and you aren't shite as a culture...with the same taglines: What is truly African?
"You didn't do anything, you didn't invent anything, you stole from your neighbors, other peoples found your gold mines, other countries found your diamond mines, etc. What really is African? Isn't it the people who brought you civilization? Built your roads, your trains, developed patches of Wilderness into cities and then countries?
So every time we let in outsiders into Africa to build and develop and take from the land, we add progress, relationships, diversity and bringing out the best of everyone."
Now that would go over well..

Yep.
When I see one of those, I go out of my way not to support the company that has chosen to criticize my life and beliefs with their profits.
The other thing is that there is a disproportionately large number of blacks, Hispanics, and women in commercials.
