BION there is actually an even more progressive version ("progressive casting" may in fact be the name) where producers are to actively seek to cast PoC in roles and avoid casting wypipo if at all possible

Because the cities are full of black people.

The average American would be shocked to know blacks are 12% of the population.

The whole marketing thing is baffling to me because they are targeting the opposite demographic of those with the most disposable income. I have never really let advertising drive my purchases but I am now paying attention to what companies won't be getting my money.

Black Worship is the American national religion. This has not really changed since 1861.

How are they 100% of the guests on all daytime talk shows, 100% of the stories on morning television,
Many blacks are at home during the day and don't have cable TV. Blacks are probably a third of the OTA TV audience

Another perfect storm is theatrical films. Black people "open" -- that is, they make up a huge part of the opening weekend audience for a movie. As studios make most of their money in the first two weeks of a film's release (after that, their % of the BO take goes down) getting that audience is very important to them.

Want to run those numbers post Floyd?

Not to mention, 18% is greater than 12%, thus making them overrepresented even back in 2018. Overrepresenting a group today does not make up for lack of representation in 1950.

But from 1950 to 1990, they were massively underrepresented.

And today, regular whites are. There was one product I can say had a normal white family only in their ads, where the dad wasn't made to look like a dumbarse. Now they've mixed it up, and have it split where half the ad shows a normal white family and they added a black family to the other half to "even it out."

What is interesting is that black woman aren't more upset with the fact that the majority of couples in commercials are black guys with white women...cause we all know that is reality.

It's the forced "subliminal messaging" conditioning that is blatantly occurring right now. Care or not, think its a big deal or not...doesn't matter, but can't ignore that this being done on purpose to push an agenda. Clear example of the "fix" overcorrecting and not being balanced.

OK - this crap has got to STOP!!! Dammit to hell - I have looked for the past 15 YEARS and have not found ONE black man in ANY commercial who was seemingly unable to deal with a tangled up garden hose!!!!

VASTLY underrepresented - NOWHERE to be seem in those commercials.

It's staggering how little the Average American knows about our demographics...

Not really though. When the government pays your mortgage, the government buys your food with EBT, you get free or discounted services on everything TV, internet, cell service , etc... You get a welfare check and sell dope when not playing video games. Your disposable income is pretty good

12%

I see this go pretty much unchallenged in this thread - is this a new number??

I recall the number 18% at "THE" percentage that was tossed around all the time.

Has there been a demographic shift? or is this just a new number tossed out??

IS there a definitive factual representation of the black population in America today??

The best part is most of those "black folk" on TV would have been able to "pass for white", years ago.

"Black" really is a choice, it seems.

OK - thanks for the representation - the distribution is quite a bit smaller than I would have guessed - a lot smaller, in fact.
