If one subscribes to the view that politics is now really all about the economy, i.e. selling stuff to people, (especially in high immigrant places like NYC and London where Gentile White people are now the smallest minority, with probably the lowest birth rates to boot), then surely one would expect the algorithm-driven corporate entity marketing/adverting machines to have become optimized to profit from the groups which are numerically growing (fastest) and are relatively easier to sell to / i.e. are more profitable?

It’s almost as if every television ad these days features a black woman married to a white man living in a nice house in the suburbs because blacks are the most brand-obsessed and least good deal-interested set of consumers.

    I wouldn’t say the white guys with diverse famblies are portrayed as dumb, more like mild-mannered nice guys, self-satisfied with their open-minded inclusivity.

    It's rare in my experience to see white dudes with black wives in ads. It's probably more common IRL. What I will say is that these huge corporations are happy to put short-term and maybe even long-term profit second to social engineering. Rothbard was wrong to say that corporations' only purpose is to make profit. Or maybe that was true during his lifetime. It's unquestionably false today.

    This may not count, because the wife/girlfriend was Indian instead of black. However, there’s a series of commercials about something or other where the guy is obsessed with his job as a sign-spinner. To the extent that he falls asleep with his sign in his arms.

    “Dumb” is a perfectly acceptable description of such behavior. I can see interpreting it as a good Worl Ethic and pride in his work. But 99% of people watching will think “that guy is dumb.”

  2. Maybe White racial dispossession is a form of taxation.

    “You have something, so it will be taken away and given to someone else. For the greater good.”

    Whites have (had) the most, so they give the most.

    They are also able to spool up and pay even more such tax (for a while.)

    Yes. The present situation is just a blatant redistribution of wealth. Normally, people look on communism as something whose predation is confined to the country in which it's established. But the open borders creed means it's global, with whites ultimately having to share their wealth with any of the billions who want to immigrate to their countries.

    However we aren’t just being “dispossessed”. That would sound like we were allowed our own spaces, just our stuff was taken from us.

    Instead, we are targeted for forced integration. Which is more sinister. Pollicies that encourage mixed marriages are beyond disposition. It’s not just our belongings they want. They want us gone.

  4. My favorite commercial is the one with a White dad, black mom, and two Hispanic kids… just completely normal, don’t even think twice about it no time or you’ll be convicted of thought crimes.

    On a side note, I now carry around a clown horn, and anytime anyone even slightly notices or mentions how absurd our new reality is, I pull it out and give it a couple of honks and say “welcome to clown world!”… it’s amazing the reactions I get ranging from laughter to anger; comedy is a powerful tool, even more so when you’re mocking ones entire existence.

    What's "TV"?

  5. This WM/BF ad trend must be fairly new, as I haven’t noticed, but also rarely watch commercials: usually at the gym or visiting elderly relatives, which I’ve not done lately.*

    I think Big Ad correctly assumes non-elderly WMs don’t watch commercials other than live sports.

    A shift I have noticed is WMs under 40 or so, and assimilated non whites too, now are lot more open about spending big money and time on video games and talk about pro sports far less than even a year ago.

  6. I think Steve has it backwards at least according to my admittedly limited TV watching. We turn the TV on at 5:30pm Central to watch the 3 major network news programs, ABC, NBC, and CBS. The ads at this time period mainly promote prescription drugs for horrible diseases (it seems the demographic that mostly watches evening news are elderly) and automobiles. The percentage of blacks in the ads is striking; sometimes only blacks are shown. When blacks and white are shown together it is always a black man with a white woman often blond, never a white man and a black woman. That pairing plays into the universal desire for black guys to have blond wives or the approbation of woke white viewers for that sort of mating. My best guess in reverse engineering the ads is that advertising psychologists’ assumption is that white viewers/customers have overwhelmingly bought into the narrative of diversity, that viewers’ high opinions of themselves for being pro diversity are being stroked by the ideology of those ads. Which makes them want to buy the product more. The advertisers themselves may or may not endorse diversity, but they understand contemporary mass psychology.

    The ads I see are a limited subset of TV ads surrounding the evening news. Ads during the rest of the day may differ. YMMV

    Again, the ads I see don’t seem to be directed towards potential black customers. Blacks don’t watch the TV evening news, nor spend much time telling their private doctors what pricey drugs they want to have prescribed for their diseases.

    You’re correct, the ads aren’t aimed at blacks, they’re just trying to push the agenda on Whites. However, lately I’d say there’s as many if not more commercials with White men and black women.

    I think the the thing that disturbs me the most about the “woke” culture is how it imitates real life, but there’s nothing truthful about it. There’s a number of shows on the streaming services that strictly cater to the woke feminist mindset. What strikes me about every single one is how distorted their perception of reality really is. They play off of every anti-White fiction created over the past 50 years, as if this is the true world; with a sense of smugness to go with it. It’s unnatural, just like the woke commercials.

    You seem confused. Black men don't have a "universal preference" for blonds; or even white women. Black men's preference is strongly for black-haired Asian women (stronger than all other groups of males, in fact):

    As sophisticated as marketing has become, that is probably true. You would probably have to watch a black sitcom to see what they market towards them generically. A show like Oprah or one of those talk shows geared toward female POCs would likely lean more toward ads with WM/BF, catering to the fantasies of BFs, whereas basketball probably has more BM/WF (or possibly Pudgy Bald Jewish Male/Goy Blond Supermodel Female).
  7. The reason is, of course, an attempt to ‘dilute’ whiteness. It mostly began with white woman/black man ads. Those worked better inasmuch as women tend to be more easily influenced by programming, and in any case are less visually oriented when it comes to mates, or hook-ups.

    White man/black woman ads will not work the same way, because men tend to be visually oriented when it comes to sexual preference, and black women are not attractive to most white men–even the ‘mulatto’ types with the frizzy hair that you see in the ads.

    The obvious question is why there aren’t many white man/Asian woman ads? Asian women tend to be attractive to white men.

    The obvious answer is that television ads are designed to sell products to white women, who don't want to be reminded of those who are the chief competitors for their men, and why that's the case. (This goes double for Jewish women, who are losing out to Asian women left, right and center.)

  8. A lot of people in the online alt-right communities seem to be concerned about the number of blacks on TV.

    It all makes sense when you realize how much more TV blacks watch than the other races. Esoecially whites.

    Minority youth aged 8 to 18 consume an average of 13 hours of media content a day — about 4-1/2 hours more than their white counterparts, according to a Northwestern University …

    Watching TV and movies is very much a “nonwhite” thing.

    When you become aware of this, you realize just how overrepresented white people actually are on TV. And if a white person can watch TV, there is something suspicious about them…

    I sometimes have the impulse that it would be nice to enjoy streaming a movie and sit down to do that, but then first end up passing a lot of time researching technical questions about my hobby/sport and finding that I don't have time for the entertainment as originally intended. I'm actually entertained in a way by thinking about and learning about equipment and techniques for my sport. There's always more to learn and to benefit from, and there are a lot of smart and/or experienced guys on the same page, involved in improving, refurbishing, rethinking, and enjoying their gear and training. Most of them happen to be White or Asian, and the great majority are male. Maybe this microcosm represents the larger tendency for Whites and Asian men to add to and to share civilizational knowledge and capability rather than just consume it. Also, the workshop is so far an apolitical place relatively unaffected by all the Current Year crap, though there have been some complaints from a few usual suspects that the activity is 'too white.'

    That's not true. Women of all races (including black ladies regardless of credit score) prefer white men.

    From the link below:


    "...So the good news for white men and Asian women is they are the most sought-after demographics on dating sites...Quartz’s study showed that most women are highly interested in dating white men. Additionally, Asian, Latino, and white women all respond more frequently to white men..."
     
    Asian women, yep. My girl is a Chinese-presenting HAPA who is 20 years younger than me. Yellow fever, baby.

    "...Maybe these guys are just really smooth talkers..."
     
    Well I am that, but that sounds like a rationalization for non-white undesirability.

    "...Or, maybe patriarchal values have influenced women’s dating preferences. It’s hard to tell from the raw data exactly what’s going on, but, at least for now, white men seem to have an advantage over black, Latino, and Asian men..."
     
    Patriarchal values. What a crock. Again, a rationalization by non-whites for not being white. This is hypergamy, plain and simple. Women (just like men) want to marry up. For women, that means "adding some cream to their coffee". If that's part of the patriarchy, then long live the patriarchy. Speaking as a rich white man, of course.

  16. Why do almost all tv ads feature a dumb white husband with a smart black wife?

    No part of that analysis holds water. In addition, most non-Black Immigrants hold extremely unenlightened views of Blacks, so, …….. double plus stupid advertisements.

    The only marketing reason I can see for the Ads is psychological- to piss people off a little so they remember the Ads. Otherwise it is the usual self-destructive Wokeism – stroking themselves with their virtue signaling is far more important than effective advertising.

    I disagree. The advertising designer believes that most middle-class whites believe in diversity. So the ads feed them diversity up the wazoo to stroke the middle-class viewers' self-approbation.

    while whites are still over 60% of the population, the coveted under 40 year-old demographics is just 56% white. The decline in the number of whites under the age of 40 is significant. In absolute numbers the white population is declining.

    year – Whites aged 20-40 years-old
    1980 – 59 million - 78% of the population
    2000 - 58 million - 67% of the population
    2020 - 49 million - 56% of the population

    there are 9 million less whites in this key demographic compared to 20 years ago. The decline is accelerating , as the under 20 population is just 50% white today. The average white American is 45 years-old , while the average non-white is just 31 years-old. Since advertising for most products is aimed at those under the age of 45 we should expect fewer and fewer whites in commercials.

    The demographics of the US differs greatly by age.

    The over 50 population is 76% white
    The under 5o population is 55% white.

    Advertisers typically target those under the age of 50
    In a few years whites under the age of 50 will be outnumbered by non-whites, so we should expect to see fewer whites in advertising.

  21. It’s almost as if every television ad these days features a black woman married to a white man living in a nice house in the suburbs because blacks are the most brand-obsessed and least good deal-interested set of consumers.

    Households of high earning husbands and spendthrift wives are every marketer’s dream, followed by those of older couples having their first and perhaps only child.

  22. People that get marketing degrees tend to be liberal and buy into emotionally driven arguments.

    It’s an easy degree that demands a lot of partying. It has practically zero math requirements.

    They tend to be bitter against other Whites and “the system” early on. People really have no idea as to how many of these marketing grads are cranked out by the colleges. So they immediately find themselves in ruthless competition for a very limited number of jobs.

    As liberals they aren’t simply content to make commercials that sell laundry detergent with catchy jingles. In their minds they are helping “right the world” with this type of messaging. They think equality would exist if not for environmental influence. So their commercial about a Black wife helping a dopey White husband light a campfire is a counterweight to what they see as harmful messaging from bad Whites. They also see miscegenation as a virtue even though I would bet that 3/4 are NYC White women that are looking to date Manhattan type White men and quit their marketing jobs.

    I must be getting old, I don't recognize anyone below George Lucas in those pictures. But as far as the top four, those are severely damaged humans, so it's not surprising that they would marry poorly despite having the money and fame to do otherwise.
    David Bowie - Great musician, but complete nutter, and leaned gay as well. No way a guy like that can just marry a nice English lass and settle into normal domestic life.
    Bill de Blasio - That guy is so filled with self-loathing that he changed his name. It's not surprising that he would a marry lesbian that is so black and so short that his kids would have no trace of him.
    Robert De Niro - Dad was a closeted homosexual. Given that shot of De Niro's wife, he might be too.
    George Lucas - His first wife left him for the Hispanic handyman that worked around Skywalker ranch. That takes a toll that is probably hard to get over. I also just learned that Lucas has four daughters, with the first three being adopted and the last by surrogacy. That's not too surprising for the three he had with his pictured wife, as they were both pretty old by then. But he met his first wife when they were both still students, and she apparently got knocked up by the handyman shortly after leaving Lucas, which kind of makes you wonder why they adopted.
    tl/dr: These pairings are just the outward manifestation of deep internal trauma, and some or all of them may be beards as well.

    Advertising used to be about selling the product, but that hasn't been true since the 80's. What they sell now is the emotion; the ad attempts to make you feel an emotion and link that emotion with the product. While the advertiser may or may not have an agenda, what they're selling is the emotion "I'm a good person, because I believe white men find black women sexy, it's common for an average black man to drive a new BMW SUV to go camping, and black girls are innately capable of being astronauts." It's essentially televangelist Prosperity Gospel but for a different religion.

    In reality if a lesbian is feminine and pleasant the switch is easy and painless. On the other hand a lot of straight women have lesbian fantasies. For some reason few men find this threatening.

    Um, a lot of words there, but I think you're on to it: it all boils down to giving a finger to regular people (who are all dumb racist hicks, of course).

    Not really a beard as such, but the traditional fact is that rich/famous people, like old time royalty, can have access to all the chicks they want, so who they marry is largely a matter of making a statement, cementing an alliance, access to more wealth and land, etc.

    As for Jagger, was it Allan Bloom who pointed out that prior to the 60s he would have been considered a grotesque, like Quasimodo. In fact it was Brian Jones, the traditionally handsome even pretty one, who was popular with the girls, not Mick; that's why he had to be pushed out eventually.

    As for the questions in the post here, I don't think it's about making the most money either - this "marketing" is about virtual signaling to the people that really matter. That's not the viewers, but the globalist elites and the US Feral Gov't. These TV people know what will really keep them in business in the long run.

  37. So, does this mean that many black women secretly love white men and desire to start families with them? All the complaints about white men are just an act to hide their desire to be loved and cherished as wives to them.

    If the target audience is wealthy white liberal women it makes more sense. There maybe fewer of them but they spend more and fall for tokenism every single time.

    I’ve only seen a few ads like that, but they do seem to be increasing.

    I’d say that 99% of all ads feature some variation on the following themes:

    1. well-dressed, light-skinned blacks in a luxury home with luxury SUVs engaged in white, bourgeois activities like golfing or checking a stock portfolio
    2. black man and white woman
    3. smart white woman, dumb white man
    4. smart black man, dumb white man

    Saw one the other day that practically made me scream. It was an ad for a home security system that gave live video feeds of the security cams to your cell phone, and it depicted a bunch of wealthy blacks driving a luxury car and watching on their cell phones as a white guy breaks into their McMansion.

Maybe it is just my own personal tastes, but I don't think I have ever seen a real TRULY ATTRACTIVE Black female, even someone of mixed race like Horne sans clown makeup, and lighting, probably isn't all that much to wake up to in the morning. Not to mention that most Black women have attitudes from hell. hehe. Lena Horne? Really? Place her next to Raquel Welch, Angie Dickinson, Ann-Margret, etc., etc., etc... and a shitload of other attractive White females and then tell me that she is all that?

    Early in Covid I finally "cut the cord" by getting rid of the TV part of my Comcast subscription. I switched to paying for Hulu w/o ads tier (the plain service, not the live TV one) and I also watch some Netflix and Amazon Prime.

    One effect is that I just see very few ads now and it's great! I save a good 10 or 14 minutes an hour for amount of content watched and there's just less stuff bombarding my brain. I'm never going back if I can help it.
    I only see ads on YouTube, but those tend to be fairly different.(*)

    I wonder what effect cord cutting has on the TV ad audience. I'd bet it skews it significantly compared to the overall population and even to to the "TV" watching population.

    It’s almost as if every television ad these days features a black woman married to a white man living in a nice house in the suburbs
     
    I've only seen a few ads like that, but they do seem to be increasing.

    I'd say that 99% of all ads feature some variation on the following themes:

    1. well-dressed, light-skinned blacks in a luxury home with luxury SUVs engaged in white, bourgeois activities like golfing or checking a stock portfolio
    2. black man and white woman
    3. smart white woman, dumb white man
    4. smart black man, dumb white man

    Saw one the other day that practically made me scream. It was an ad for a home security system that gave live video feeds of the security cams to your cell phone, and it depicted a bunch of wealthy blacks driving a luxury car and watching on their cell phones as a white guy breaks into their McMansion.

This author doesn't come across as notably insightful, or kind, or generous in spirit. He ends "Between the World And Me" by invoking a curse on the White Suburban College Graduates who select BTWAM for their book clubs.

    I used to work in advertising and I can tell you you're correct. As soon as someone brings up diversity, everyone is frozen with fear.

    The commercials for one of our clients generally featured three couples socializing. One of the couples would always be black. One time, as our female creative director was reviewing casting tapes, she said she liked two of the black couples best.

    I said, "Don't you think that would make the commercial a little too black?"

    She said, triumphantly, " And you have a problem with that?!"

    It's because you don't date or marry a group as a whole, you get with an individual.

    So because of social racial hierarchy of whatever a white guy might be good enough to get 4 /10 white girl, a 6/10 mexican girl or an 8/10 black girl and that might be more value for him.

    I've met a few black women who were pretty and nice and smart and "well spoken" and ten or 15 years ago I absolutely would have considered it.

There's a sense that criminality was afoot, and real drama of whether Trump and his lawyers will be able to find it in time to impact the outcome.

    A predecessor company to Dominion was founded by Venezuelans who were close to Hugo Chavez.


    Rudy Giuliani, who Trump has entrusted with running his election challenge operation, explained the theory this weekend on Fox News.

    “It’s way beyond what people think, including a very, very dangerous foreign company that did the votes in 27 states, a company that’s not American, a company that’s foreign, a company that has close, close ties with Venezuela and, therefore, China and uses a Venezuelan company software that’s been used to steal elections in other countries.”

    “I mean, I don’t think people have any idea of the dimension of the national security problem that Dominion creates. This Dominion company is a radical-left company. One of the people there is a big supporter of antifa and has written horrible things about the president for the last three or four years. And, the software that they use is done by a company called Smartmatic, a company that was founded by [Hugo] Chávez and by Chávez’s two allies, who still own it. And it’s been used to cheat in elections in South America. It was banned by the United States several — about a decade ago. It’s come back now as a subcontractor to other companies. It sort of hides in the weeds. But Dominion sends everything to Smartmatic. Can you believe it? Our votes are sent overseas. They are sent to someplace else, some other country. Why do they leave our country?”

    “And this company had — and this company has tried-and-true methods for fixing elections by calling a halt to the voting when you’re running too far behind. They have done that in prior elections. Now, what happened on election night? He [Trump] was ahead by 800,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Impossible to catch up, unless you’re cheating, and same thing in Michigan, Wisconsin. He was ahead in all those states by numbers that, in prior times — and I can show this to you — networks would have called for him. But they didn’t call it for him.”

    People that get marketing degrees tend to be liberal and buy into emotionally driven arguments.

    It's an easy degree that demands a lot of partying. It has practically zero math requirements.

    They tend to be bitter against other Whites and "the system" early on. People really have no idea as to how many of these marketing grads are cranked out by the colleges. So they immediately find themselves in ruthless competition for a very limited number of jobs.

    As liberals they aren't simply content to make commercials that sell laundry detergent with catchy jingles. In their minds they are helping "right the world" with this type of messaging. They think equality would exist if not for environmental influence. So their commercial about a Black wife helping a dopey White husband light a campfire is a counterweight to what they see as harmful messaging from bad Whites. They also see miscegenation as a virtue even though I would bet that 3/4 are NYC White women that are looking to date Manhattan type White men and quit their marketing jobs.

Incidentally, it also a kick to the crotch of black men, who based on some of my social media interactions, are seething at being relegated to the back seat by progressives other than as the occasional victim of violence at the hands of cops. The white dude might be second fiddle in these commercials but at least he’s got the attractive and successful woman, the house, the kids, etc.

    The natural role of a man is as the provider and protector of his family, and obviously that’s not the case in far too many cases for black men in America today. Nevertheless, there are black men that want to re-assert that role (and would be good for blacks and America at large, in my view) but are shoved out of the way by their supposed allies in favor of women, gays, trans, etc. I think there is a huge opening for the GOP when it comes to Latinos and black men to be the party of traditional masculinity, if they have to brains to follow the cultural roadmap Trump has uncovered.

    Never agreed with you more in my life. It's very hard for me to take TV being on when I have to be around someone watching it. I completely cut off paying for or watching any TV at all way back in 2006 during the Duke Lacrosse scandal when they just went on and on and on about that being the most important and shameful issue facing the country (and then dropped it of course the second it turned out to basically be a hoax). I was already so sick of the ads and commercials by then that I was really only would have C-Span on in the background and sometimes Fox News or MSNBC (before they became complete Democrat assholes). But with the Duke thing I could not stand one day longer to listen to any of it anymore.

    I've never regretted it thanks to torrenting and youtube, and I can't help but look down on the type of mind that can sit through all those goddamned unending insipid asinine commercials.

    The reason is, of course, an attempt to 'dilute' whiteness. It mostly began with white woman/black man ads. Those worked better inasmuch as women tend to be more easily influenced by programming, and in any case are less visually oriented when it comes to mates, or hook-ups.

    White man/black woman ads will not work the same way, because men tend to be visually oriented when it comes to sexual preference, and black women are not attractive to most white men--even the 'mulatto' types with the frizzy hair that you see in the ads.

    The obvious question is why there aren't many white man/Asian woman ads? Asian women tend to be attractive to white men.

    I think Steve has it backwards at least according to my admittedly limited TV watching. We turn the TV on at 5:30pm Central to watch the 3 major network news programs, ABC, NBC, and CBS. The ads at this time period mainly promote prescription drugs for horrible diseases (it seems the demographic that mostly watches evening news are elderly) and automobiles. The percentage of blacks in the ads is striking; sometimes only blacks are shown. When blacks and white are shown together it is always a black man with a white woman often blond, never a white man and a black woman. That pairing plays into the universal desire for black guys to have blond wives or the approbation of woke white viewers for that sort of mating. My best guess in reverse engineering the ads is that advertising psychologists' assumption is that white viewers/customers have overwhelmingly bought into the narrative of diversity, that viewers' high opinions of themselves for being pro diversity are being stroked by the ideology of those ads. Which makes them want to buy the product more. The advertisers themselves may or may not endorse diversity, but they understand contemporary mass psychology.

    The ads I see are a limited subset of TV ads surrounding the evening news. Ads during the rest of the day may differ. YMMV

    Again, the ads I see don't seem to be directed towards potential black customers. Blacks don't watch the TV evening news, nor spend much time telling their private doctors what pricey drugs they want to have prescribed for their diseases.

    You’re correct, the ads aren’t aimed at blacks, they’re just trying to push the agenda on Whites. However, lately I’d say there’s as many if not more commercials with White men and black women.

    I think the the thing that disturbs me the most about the “woke” culture is how it imitates real life, but there’s nothing truthful about it. There’s a number of shows on the streaming services that strictly cater to the woke feminist mindset. What strikes me about every single one is how distorted their perception of reality really is. They play off of every anti-White fiction created over the past 50 years, as if this is the true world; with a sense of smugness to go with it. It’s unnatural, just like the woke commercials.

    You might well be right about the totality of TV ads. I only watch TV for the evening news. You probably spend more time watching TV than I do and see way more ads. I try to ignore them. I mute the TV's sound and channel surf to the other stations. However, in the slice of ads I've seen, quite often I see a black man and a white woman, in one case a very handsome very blond woman, every black man's dream. And white man's for that matter. Also I like your - or someone's - idea of capitalizing White and not black.

In sum, the female late night host is being overtaken by a dull, right-wing comic. Because, you know, the right is dominant and controls our cultural institutions (face palm). You see the same theme throughout the media: the right is in power, the left is the powerless victim. When victimhood is sainthood you’ll do whatever it takes to imagine a world where you’re the victim. (See also Star Wars actor John Boyega coming out to support BLM even though he fears it ‘may cost me my job’ in Hollywood...)

    The left is the victim until they can wake up one day to find that they have triumphed by converting every single ignorant Trump voter and eliminated racism. But somehow there’s no in between.

    The feeling’s mutual. Coates’s popularity gets a boost from the fact that few people study his books or essays from beginning to end. This author doesn’t come across as notably insightful, or kind, or generous in spirit. He ends “Between the World And Me” by invoking a curse on the White Suburban College Graduates who select BTWAM for their book clubs. Though, in fairness, his malediction applies equally to the nice ladies’ children, parents, husbands, cousins, and friends.

    Not that these virtuous readers notice, or would be troubled if they did.

  67. The only commercials I see are on youtube, so I don’t know how they compare with TV. I’m guessing they’re mostly TV ads. I have noticed a conspicuous increase in interracial marriage ads over the last year or so, but I mostly just notice an increase in non-white ads. Obvious black voices narrating ads for investment firms or medical services will be of dubious impact, IMO, as general black incompetence in financial or health matters isn’t something that’s easily glossed over with an ad…yet this is fairly commonplace nowadays. This is corporate America being “moral” or “relevant”, however interracial or black ads don’t have the negative impact on me that they once did because so many of us now see corporate America as a extension of Hollywood and the media; we disregard such ads the way we would a NYT political article.

    Still, I definitely recognize the brainwashing power of their approach. I recently saw an advertisement on you tube that had a young, pretty and conspicuously white mom dancing in a conga line through her house with her equally attractive (and conspicuously white) children. I thought to myself, Wow, I wonder how long networks will allow commercials like this? Not only is everyone in this commercial white and attractive, but the conga line would constitute cultural appropriation in the eyes of everyone who has an X in their name. I then thought to myself how strange it was that this should be my first to an an ad that would’ve been innocuous to everyone (even non-whites) just five years ago.

    As liberals they aren't simply content to make commercials that sell laundry detergent with catchy jingles. In their minds they are helping "right the world" with this type of messaging. They think equality would exist if not for environmental influence. So their commercial about a Black wife helping a dopey White husband light a campfire is a counterweight to what they see as harmful messaging from bad Whites.

    The ratio of discretionary spending is about 85% women to 15% men. While men pay all the taxes and mortgage payments, women buy all the sh it that can be swayed by advertising which is why it is all geared towards flattering and attracting them, not men. My guess is that ratio is even higher among blacks. There are many many black men that don't have two thin dimes to rub together but most black women that have at least a lower lower middle class incomes due to all the free sh it they get. Not known for their savvy buying decisions and a zero or negative savings rate, they can afford to buy cheap but 'must have' high mark up street cred type products that generate a profit even if you and I would not wear it.

    As sophisticated as marketing has become, that is probably true. You would probably have to watch a black sitcom to see what they market towards them generically. A show like Oprah or one of those talk shows geared toward female POCs would likely lean more toward ads with WM/BF, catering to the fantasies of BFs, whereas basketball probably has more BM/WF (or possibly Pudgy Bald Jewish Male/Goy Blond Supermodel Female).

  80. At the end of the day, even Troofie would have to admit that, of all eight of the basic gender/race groups, the black women tranche is the one that the other seven care for least. As a white man, I’m just fine with black women wanting nothing to do with me.

There are a lot of Latinas (and Southern Italians and Northern Indians) who are this attractive shade of tan without having to roast in the sun. What you need is just a TOUCH of coffee in your cream, not vice versa like a lot of American black women.

Have you ever noticed how much they like pairing ginger males with black women? Now that’s an over-correction. But it’ce nice that red haired men finally get some acting opportunities. (A neglected statistic is how underrepresented red headed men are in Hollywood and in cinema/TV in all countries with redheads)

    Blaq wimmin have proven their ability time and time again across multiple domains of academia and cultural sciences. Most modern systems of commercial enterprise have sprung from the fountainhead of Afro-matriarchy. Any inner city (where this class’s impact can be best evaluated) are thriving epicenters of cultural cohesion and development. Collitch level academics teem with resplendent displays of their intellekshull contribution (such as Woman’s Studies). By contrast Indo-European man has almost no meaningful contribution to the academies of culture or commerce. It only stands to reason that blaq females be portrayed in modern media as the dominant, high brow contributors that they have indeed proven to be.

Not to mention that most Black women have attitudes from hell. hehe. Lena Horne? Really? Place her next to Raquel Welch, Angie Dickinson, Ann-Margret, etc., etc., etc… and a shitload of other attractive White females and then tell me that she is all that?

    As far as I know, Whites are still 65% of the country, Blacks are 13%. (More or less). I assume that the television advertisements you refer to are national broadcast advertisements, or at least regional broadcasts, so.....


    No part of that analysis holds water. In addition, most non-Black Immigrants hold extremely unenlightened views of Blacks, so, ........ double plus stupid advertisements.


    The only marketing reason I can see for the Ads is psychological- to piss people off a little so they remember the Ads. Otherwise it is the usual self-destructive Wokeism - stroking themselves with their virtue signaling is far more important than effective advertising.

    while whites are still over 60% of the population, the coveted under 40 year-old demographics is just 56% white. The decline in the number of whites under the age of 40 is significant. In absolute numbers the white population is declining.

    year – Whites aged 20-40 years-old
    1980 – 59 million – 78% of the population
    2000 – 58 million – 67% of the population
    2020 – 49 million – 56% of the population

    there are 9 million less whites in this key demographic compared to 20 years ago. The decline is accelerating , as the under 20 population is just 50% white today. The average white American is 45 years-old , while the average non-white is just 31 years-old. Since advertising for most products is aimed at those under the age of 45 we should expect fewer and fewer whites in commercials.

    Um, a lot of words there, but I think you're on to it: it all boils down to giving a finger to regular people (who are all dumb racist hicks, of course).

    Not really a beard as such, but the traditional fact is that rich/famous people, like old time royalty, can have access to all the chicks they want, so who they marry is largely a matter of making a statement, cementing an alliance, access to more wealth and land, etc.

    As for Jagger, was it Allan Bloom who pointed out that prior to the 60s he would have been considered a grotesque, like Quasimodo. In fact it was Brian Jones, the traditionally handsome even pretty one, who was popular with the girls, not Mick; that's why he had to be pushed out eventually.

    Also a big reason this happens is woke junior staff members at ad firms. Once someone says “we should make the woman a black woman” everyone else is paralyzed to object, including the client. I do wonder how many senior management in firms secretly do not want to feature interracial couples in their ads but find themselves unwilling to potentially incur a woke mob cancellation from their own woke junior staff by objecting. I have seen this at companies I work for, where even something like a website photo shoot is suddenly “diverse” and the top brass didn’t find out until it went live and would rather not say anything.

    I think Big Ad correctly assumes non-elderly WMs don’t watch commercials other than live sports.

    A shift I have noticed is WMs under 40 or so, and assimilated non whites too, now are lot more open about spending big money and time on video games and talk about pro sports far less than even a year ago.

    It’s because you don’t date or marry a group as a whole, you get with an individual.

    So because of social racial hierarchy of whatever a white guy might be good enough to get 4 /10 white girl, a 6/10 mexican girl or an 8/10 black girl and that might be more value for him.

    I’ve met a few black women who were pretty and nice and smart and “well spoken” and ten or 15 years ago I absolutely would have considered it.

    Now though… i really don’t want my future wife or her family or my future kids accusing me of being a colonialist rapist and oppressor…

    A distant cousin of my wife married a Ghanaian girl. I have seen a wedding photo - at that time she was actually kind of hot with a clear chocolate brown complexion and a model figure. She also had a nice personality and was more intelligent than the average ADOS - her father was some kind of Ghanaian diplomat. She lacks the chip on the shoulder that most American black women carry around with them. I really could see why he went for her and as a Harvard grad he could have rated more than a 4/10 white girl.


    But fast forward 10 yrs and now she had ballooned to typical African woman proportions and is as wide as she is tall.

    The marriage did not last because the husband, unfortunately turned out to be mentally ill despite his Harvard degree. It's just as well because nowadays she might accidentally crush her former spouse.

    The one good thing to come out of the marriage was their Obama-like son who is as sharp as a tack. If this kid does not inherit his dad's bipolar he will be well positioned in the New America.

    A predecessor company to Dominion was founded by Venezuelans who were close to Hugo Chavez.

    Rudy Giuliani, who Trump has entrusted with running his election challenge operation, explained the theory this weekend on Fox News.

    “It’s way beyond what people think, including a very, very dangerous foreign company that did the votes in 27 states, a company that’s not American, a company that’s foreign, a company that has close, close ties with Venezuela and, therefore, China and uses a Venezuelan company software that’s been used to steal elections in other countries.”

    “I mean, I don’t think people have any idea of the dimension of the national security problem that Dominion creates. This Dominion company is a radical-left company. One of the people there is a big supporter of antifa and has written horrible things about the president for the last three or four years. And, the software that they use is done by a company called Smartmatic, a company that was founded by [Hugo] Chávez and by Chávez’s two allies, who still own it. And it’s been used to cheat in elections in South America. It was banned by the United States several — about a decade ago. It’s come back now as a subcontractor to other companies. It sort of hides in the weeds. But Dominion sends everything to Smartmatic. Can you believe it? Our votes are sent overseas. They are sent to someplace else, some other country. Why do they leave our country?”

    “And this company had — and this company has tried-and-true methods for fixing elections by calling a halt to the voting when you’re running too far behind. They have done that in prior elections. Now, what happened on election night? He [Trump] was ahead by 800,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Impossible to catch up, unless you’re cheating, and same thing in Michigan, Wisconsin. He was ahead in all those states by numbers that, in prior times — and I can show this to you — networks would have called for him. But they didn’t call it for him.”

I mentioned a lot of these women were probably beards in the racial sense but in the case of Bowie, his Black wife might have been a more traditional beard because maybe Bowie was indeed a homosexual. I remember that scene in the movie, “Saturday Night Fever,” where somehow Bowie’s name was brought up and the girl said that Bowie was “bisexual” and then one of the Disco Boys with Tony said, “yeah, he likes men and boys.” lolol. That line is still funny, I don’t care who you are or how many times you hear it.

One kept pestering him so much afterwards that my brother who was living with a friend, told the girl that he was gay. haha. His friend went along with it. LMAO. Just a silly phase the guy went through before he saw the light. Like I say, in my neck of the woods, black broads were EASY, and unlike me, my brother couldn't control his hormones. He was using those black broads in what we use to refer to as "practice pussy." He practiced on them for the real game, when he found an attractive white girl. Nothing wrong I guess with going to the batting cage to perfect your swing or stroke. Dude said some black girl called him, "Mr. Coffee," because he could grind so fine. teehee.

    It's because you don't date or marry a group as a whole, you get with an individual.

  114. Note that this contributes further to the tendency of WNs to put race-loyalty above sexual orientation in their sexual partners. The advertisers obviously have greatly overestimated the number of WNs, as well as the amount of disposable cash that WNs have. They are thus paying for national advertising to troll a group that is just 10% of white males (and thus 3.25% of the total adult population).

    We know very well that many if not most WNs openly say that they would rather have sex with a white man than a black woman, since race loyalty trumps sexual orientation in their view. Plus, they say that having no baby is better than having a mulatto baby.

    This also explains why WNs have no problem with transgenderism, since the race of the person did not change, so the transformation is a non-event to WNs in terms of sexual preference.

    This, of course, explains why White Trashionalism carries zero appeal with normal heterosexual white people.

    A distant cousin of my wife married a Ghanaian girl. I have seen a wedding photo – at that time she was actually kind of hot with a clear chocolate brown complexion and a model figure. She also had a nice personality and was more intelligent than the average ADOS – her father was some kind of Ghanaian diplomat. She lacks the chip on the shoulder that most American black women carry around with them. I really could see why he went for her and as a Harvard grad he could have rated more than a 4/10 white girl.

    But fast forward 10 yrs and now she had ballooned to typical African woman proportions and is as wide as she is tall.

    The marriage did not last because the husband, unfortunately turned out to be mentally ill despite his Harvard degree. It’s just as well because nowadays she might accidentally crush her former spouse.

    The one good thing to come out of the marriage was their Obama-like son who is as sharp as a tack. If this kid does not inherit his dad’s bipolar he will be well positioned in the New America.

    https://www.axios.com/corporate-america-black-employee-turnover-rate-91563b14-c87b-435b-b157-0443c586735d.html

    Systemic racism is leading to a turnover problem in corporate America: Companies have a hard time holding on to Black employees.

    Why it matters: Beyond affecting individual professionals and teams, a corporate culture that causes attrition can spread rot through entire companies.

    Driving the news: If companies don’t pay attention to their corporate culture, the pandemic and remote work could drive the Black turnover rate even higher, experts say.

    “Remote work can exacerbate the problem because there’s less person-to-person contact,” says Patrick McKay, a professor of human resource management at Temple University.
    In-person encounters with colleagues who don’t look like you chip away at your biases, but those biases can stay strong when we’re all working from home, he says.
    By the numbers:

    33% of Black professionals don’t feel respected or valued at work, per a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management. Compare that with 18% of their white counterparts.
    That pushes people out the door. According to a report from the Center for Talent Innovation, more than one-third of Black employees intend to leave their companies within two years, and Black professionals are 30% more likely to intend to leave than their white counterparts.
    At Google, which releases turnover statistics, Black employees make up less than 3% of the workforce and have an attrition rate that is 13% higher than the national average.
    “There’s a progression model,” Derek Avery, a business professor at the University of Houston, tells Axios.

    “Things like microaggressions and harassment lead people to withdraw psychologically, which causes higher levels of burnout and lower levels of engagement. Then there’s physical withdrawal: tardiness, absenteeism and ultimately turnover,” Avery says.
    What’s happening: While many companies are trying to address the issues through implicit bias trainings or recruiting initiatives, these efforts can feel like “slapping a Band-Aid on a tumor,” says McKay.

    “Deep down, organizations are highly inertial,” he adds.
    Steps that could actually chip away at the turnover problem include adding transparency to recruiting and promotion processes, setting up ways in which employees can report discrimination, and holding aggressors accountable, McKay says. “But organizational policy infrastructures are rarely changed to support diversity.”
    There are even stark differences in how workplace racism is viewed within HR departments — the very bodies tasked with addressing it. In the SHRM survey, 49% of Black HR professionals reported observing racial discrimination at work, compared with 13% of white HR professionals.
    The stakes: Black employees who get fed up and leave might have trouble finding their next job.

    “You look like a job hopper to potential employers,” says McKay. “And they’re not aware of the job climate you dealt with previously.”
    And for the companies themselves, there’s a lingering “secondhand smoke effect,” Avery says. White employees who aren’t experiencing the discrimination themselves but are routinely witnessing it are likely to feel burnout and even quit over the frayed company culture themselves.
    The bottom line: It’s simple. “If your organization is doing things that systemically run off talented people, you will, by definition, be left with less talented people,” says Avery.

    And as far as turnover is concerned, the relatively few competent black workers are always at risk of being poached by the competition, forever dangling better and better salaries and bennies in front of them.

    Because they have to hit diversity targets too, and it's worth paying up for the few blacks who can do real work as a bonus. But then they get poached by the competition.

There are a lot of Latinas (and Southern Italians and Northern Indians) who are this attractive shade of tan without having to roast in the sun. What you need is just a TOUCH of coffee in your cream, not vice versa like a lot of American black women. Unfortunately, the operation of the one drop rule in America meant that we have a lot more of the latter compared to Latin America.

The Nordics seem to carry off "pale" quite a bit better.

    Most Black women are unmarried and at most have a "baby daddy" that doesn't pay the bills. A middle class White man would be a dream come true for them.

    Greenwald is excellent on issues he cares about; which makes sense.

    But some of his pet issues become extremely dull after a while. How much can you write about the injustice of Guantanamo detentions? I get it. There’s illegal detention going on. But nobody’s ever going to do anything about it.

    There are certain significant developing news issues with new information coming out at rapid fire pace. Like the Trump effort to find fraud in this election. There’s a sense that criminality was afoot, and real drama of whether Trump and his lawyers will be able to find it in time to impact the outcome. Despite the massive effort to block the investigation by the MSM. That kind of journalism is valuable, but more the Sid Hersch style. Snowden sort of fell into Greenwald’s lap.

    Black women as a whole are the least attractive women on the planet.

WHY on earth with all the beautiful white women out there, would some White dude want a Black female?
     
    It's because you don't date or marry a group as a whole, you get with an individual.

    So because of social racial hierarchy of whatever a white guy might be good enough to get 4 /10 white girl, a 6/10 mexican girl or an 8/10 black girl and that might be more value for him.

    I've met a few black women who were pretty and nice and smart and "well spoken" and ten or 15 years ago I absolutely would have considered it.

    Now though... i really don't want my future wife or her family or my future kids accusing me of being a colonialist rapist and oppressor...

    1) But Thoughts, the sex! (I didn’t ask, but to this day I’m assuming something something if you get my drift)

    and

    2) I’d rather marry her then some loser redneck white trash.

    I always thought number 2 was the oddest, since by marrying the black woman…and getting divorce raped…and based upon what his house looks like on Google Earth and the old fashion beat up car parked in the driveway…Isn’t he the white trash?

    His relationship occurred during the Obama years and I think he was thinking if he married a black woman, he’d get brownie points in his government job…But gentile idiots will always be gentile idiots and that was never going to happen.

    I must be getting old, I don’t recognize anyone below George Lucas in those pictures. But as far as the top four, those are severely damaged humans, so it’s not surprising that they would marry poorly despite having the money and fame to do otherwise.
    David Bowie – Great musician, but complete nutter, and leaned gay as well. No way a guy like that can just marry a nice English lass and settle into normal domestic life.
    Bill de Blasio – That guy is so filled with self-loathing that he changed his name. It’s not surprising that he would a marry lesbian that is so black and so short that his kids would have no trace of him.
    Robert De Niro – Dad was a closeted homosexual. Given that shot of De Niro’s wife, he might be too.
    George Lucas – His first wife left him for the Hispanic handyman that worked around Skywalker ranch. That takes a toll that is probably hard to get over. I also just learned that Lucas has four daughters, with the first three being adopted and the last by surrogacy. That’s not too surprising for the three he had with his pictured wife, as they were both pretty old by then. But he met his first wife when they were both still students, and she apparently got knocked up by the handyman shortly after leaving Lucas, which kind of makes you wonder why they adopted.
    tl/dr: These pairings are just the outward manifestation of deep internal trauma, and some or all of them may be beards as well.

It's got nukes, so you can't ignore them, but Putin-who is aging-doesn't strike me as particularly interested in a nuclear holocaust. And I suppose Middle Eastern dictators do trust Putin more than they would an American leader, but wouldn't you after what happened to Saddam and Mubarak and Gaddafi and Assad?

    So, bearing that in mind, why is Official Washington obsessed with it like it is the USSR? Same deal with Iran, where nobody seems to be able to distinguish between Saudi and Israeli interests, and American ones, or North Korea, which the ROKA can defend itself from just fine?

    People that get marketing degrees tend to be liberal and buy into emotionally driven arguments.

    It's an easy degree that demands a lot of partying. It has practically zero math requirements.

    They tend to be bitter against other Whites and "the system" early on. People really have no idea as to how many of these marketing grads are cranked out by the colleges. So they immediately find themselves in ruthless competition for a very limited number of jobs.

    As liberals they aren't simply content to make commercials that sell laundry detergent with catchy jingles. In their minds they are helping "right the world" with this type of messaging. They think equality would exist if not for environmental influence. So their commercial about a Black wife helping a dopey White husband light a campfire is a counterweight to what they see as harmful messaging from bad Whites. They also see miscegenation as a virtue even though I would bet that 3/4 are NYC White women that are looking to date Manhattan type White men and quit their marketing jobs.

    That’s not true. Women of all races (including black ladies regardless of credit score) prefer white men.

    From the link below:

    “…So the good news for white men and Asian women is they are the most sought-after demographics on dating sites…Quartz’s study showed that most women are highly interested in dating white men. Additionally, Asian, Latino, and white women all respond more frequently to white men…”

    Asian women, yep. My girl is a Chinese-presenting HAPA who is 20 years younger than me. Yellow fever, baby.

    “…Maybe these guys are just really smooth talkers…”

    Well I am that, but that sounds like a rationalization for non-white undesirability.

    “…Or, maybe patriarchal values have influenced women’s dating preferences. It’s hard to tell from the raw data exactly what’s going on, but, at least for now, white men seem to have an advantage over black, Latino, and Asian men…”

    Patriarchal values. What a crock. Again, a rationalization by non-whites for not being white. This is hypergamy, plain and simple. Women (just like men) want to marry up. For women, that means “adding some cream to their coffee”. If that’s part of the patriarchy, then long live the patriarchy. Speaking as a rich white man, of course.

    You’re correct, the ads aren’t aimed at blacks, they’re just trying to push the agenda on Whites. However, lately I’d say there’s as many if not more commercials with White men and black women.

    I think the the thing that disturbs me the most about the “woke” culture is how it imitates real life, but there’s nothing truthful about it. There’s a number of shows on the streaming services that strictly cater to the woke feminist mindset. What strikes me about every single one is how distorted their perception of reality really is. They play off of every anti-White fiction created over the past 50 years, as if this is the true world; with a sense of smugness to go with it. It’s unnatural, just like the woke commercials.

In sum, the female late night host is being overtaken by a dull, right-wing comic. Because, you know, the right is dominant and controls our cultural institutions (face palm). You see the same theme throughout the media: the right is in power, the left is the powerless victim. When victimhood is sainthood you’ll do whatever it takes to imagine a world where you’re the victim.

    A predecessor company to Dominion was founded by Venezuelans who were close to Hugo Chavez.


    Rudy Giuliani, who Trump has entrusted with running his election challenge operation, explained the theory this weekend on Fox News.

    “It’s way beyond what people think, including a very, very dangerous foreign company that did the votes in 27 states, a company that’s not American, a company that’s foreign, a company that has close, close ties with Venezuela and, therefore, China and uses a Venezuelan company software that’s been used to steal elections in other countries.”

    “I mean, I don’t think people have any idea of the dimension of the national security problem that Dominion creates. This Dominion company is a radical-left company. One of the people there is a big supporter of antifa and has written horrible things about the president for the last three or four years. And, the software that they use is done by a company called Smartmatic, a company that was founded by [Hugo] Chávez and by Chávez’s two allies, who still own it. And it’s been used to cheat in elections in South America. It was banned by the United States several — about a decade ago. It’s come back now as a subcontractor to other companies. It sort of hides in the weeds. But Dominion sends everything to Smartmatic. Can you believe it? Our votes are sent overseas. They are sent to someplace else, some other country. Why do they leave our country?”

    “And this company had — and this company has tried-and-true methods for fixing elections by calling a halt to the voting when you’re running too far behind. They have done that in prior elections. Now, what happened on election night? He [Trump] was ahead by 800,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Impossible to catch up, unless you’re cheating, and same thing in Michigan, Wisconsin. He was ahead in all those states by numbers that, in prior times — and I can show this to you — networks would have called for him. But they didn’t call it for him.”

    I characterise computer games in three ways - by competitiveness (PvP/PvE), immersion and story. StarCraft 2 / Dota 2 are competitive PvP. Mario / Dark Souls are competitive PvE. Your generic run-of-the-mill $60 game is likely to be story-driven (Assassin's Creed, God of War, Witcher 3, the Call of Duty campaign). And then there is a focus on immersion - milsims such as Post Scriptum, atmospheric horror games such as Soma, traditional RPGs such as Neverwinter Nights, they all try to sell a fantasy of being there first and foremost. These three branches have almost nothing in common, although virtually any game incorporates all three.

It’s got nukes, so you can’t ignore them, but Putin-who is aging-doesn’t strike me as particularly interested in a nuclear holocaust. And I suppose Middle Eastern dictators do trust Putin more than they would an American leader, but wouldn’t you after what happened to Saddam and Mubarak and Gaddafi and Assad?

    So, bearing that in mind, why is Official Washington obsessed with it like it is the USSR? Same deal with Iran, where nobody seems to be able to distinguish between Saudi and Israeli interests, and American ones, or North Korea, which the ROKA can defend itself from just fine?

    A distant cousin of my wife married a Ghanaian girl. I have seen a wedding photo - at that time she was actually kind of hot with a clear chocolate brown complexion and a model figure.

She lacks the chip on the shoulder that most American black women carry around with them. I really could see why he went for her and as a Harvard grad he could have rated more than a 4/10 white girl.


    But fast forward 10 yrs and now she had ballooned to typical African woman proportions and is as wide as she is tall.

    The marriage did not last because the husband, unfortunately turned out to be mentally ill despite his Harvard degree. It's just as well because nowadays she might accidentally crush her former spouse.

    "I've never seen a book with that many used copies for sale on [Amazon.com]."

    You will, real soon, once all those virtually unread copies of Icky Homo (excuse my lese-majeste, I mean A Promised Land) given as Christmas gifts start making their way to Amazon, eBay and other resale sites. It's going to be like the old record company joke about a highly anticipated hit album that bombed: "It shipped platinum, but returned double platinum."

  187. There’s only two sorts of TV commercials, of the recent past, that I can vividly recall:

    The first sort is a guy who touts his made-in-the-USA pillow.

    The other sort is an insurance genre. All accuse their competitors of charging (viewers) too much.

    But there’s probably 500 other channels that I pay for, on skip, where left wing indoctrination ads (and programming!) are commonplace.

    The race of the actors who appear in TV commercials, and the social message viewers might perceive therefrom, are of no consequence. What sucks are political ads that push for higher school taxes.

    Ever say that some hot blond would be made more attractive with some coffee in her cream?
     
    Actually yes I have thought that. Gingers especially sometimes have the complexion of dead fish. Even among whites the notion of female beauty has gone from milky white pallor to having a rich tan. There are a lot of Latinas (and Southern Italians and Northern Indians) who are this attractive shade of tan without having to roast in the sun. What you need is just a TOUCH of coffee in your cream, not vice versa like a lot of American black women. Unfortunately, the operation of the one drop rule in America meant that we have a lot more of the latter compared to Latin America.

    Actress Deborah Ann Woll was a favorite. She’s so pale that when she was in the HBO series True Bloodand became a vampire, she was actually whiter than the makeup they applied to give the vampire characters their pallor.

    Of course there’s more acceptance of the darker shades these days. There are a lot more of them around, and the soft, squishy dweebs that make up the under-40 white male population will take whatever will have them!

    I’ve always thought red hair was the most beautiful hair color.

    Tanned White woman went out of style decades ago. Tan was the status symbol of being a non working wife who could spend part of her day tanning. Plus in cold weather areas a status symbol of the winter vacation in Florida Mexico PR.

    And then the evil capitalists created the feminazis to send all the happy housewives to cubicle dungeons. And the happy suntanned housewives became as pale and drab as their husbands.

    Skin cancer and early wrinkling had a lot to do with the turn from tan too.

    Going back to the celebritards that dated or married Black women, I saw the late David Bowie was one. I mentioned a lot of these women were probably beards in the racial sense but in the case of Bowie, his Black wife might have been a more traditional beard because maybe Bowie was indeed a homosexual. I remember that scene in the movie, "Saturday Night Fever," where somehow Bowie's name was brought up and the girl said that Bowie was "bisexual" and then one of the Disco Boys with Tony said, "yeah, he likes men and boys." lolol.

    Advertisers typically target those under the age of 50
    In a few years whites under the age of 50 will be outnumbered by non-whites, so we should expect to see fewer whites in advertising.

I’m actually entertained in a way by thinking about and learning about equipment and techniques for my sport. There’s always more to learn and to benefit from, and there are a lot of smart and/or experienced guys on the same page, involved in improving, refurbishing, rethinking, and enjoying their gear and training. Most of them happen to be White or Asian, and the great majority are male. Maybe this microcosm represents the larger tendency for Whites and Asian men to add to and to share civilizational knowledge and capability rather than just consume it.

    Also a big reason this happens is woke junior staff members at ad firms. Once someone says “we should make the woman a black woman” everyone else is paralyzed to object, including the client. I do wonder how many senior management in firms secretly do not want to feature interracial couples in their ads but find themselves unwilling to potentially incur a woke mob cancellation from their own woke junior staff by objecting. I have seen this at companies I work for, where even something like a website photo shoot is suddenly “diverse” and the top brass didn’t find out until it went live and would rather not say anything.

    I used to work in advertising and I can tell you you’re correct. As soon as someone brings up diversity, everyone is frozen with fear.

    The commercials for one of our clients generally featured three couples socializing. One of the couples would always be black. One time, as our female creative director was reviewing casting tapes, she said she liked two of the black couples best.

    I said, “Don’t you think that would make the commercial a little too black?”

    She said, triumphantly, ” And you have a problem with that?!”

    I said, “I think the client might. It’ll look like the product is intended for black consumers.”

    https://www.axios.com/corporate-america-black-employee-turnover-rate-91563b14-c87b-435b-b157-0443c586735d.html



    Systemic racism is leading to a turnover problem in corporate America: Companies have a hard time holding on to Black employees.

    Why it matters: Beyond affecting individual professionals and teams, a corporate culture that causes attrition can spread rot through entire companies.

    Driving the news: If companies don't pay attention to their corporate culture, the pandemic and remote work could drive the Black turnover rate even higher, experts say.

    "Remote work can exacerbate the problem because there’s less person-to-person contact," says Patrick McKay, a professor of human resource management at Temple University.
    In-person encounters with colleagues who don't look like you chip away at your biases, but those biases can stay strong when we're all working from home, he says.
    By the numbers:

    33% of Black professionals don't feel respected or valued at work, per a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management. Compare that with 18% of their white counterparts.
    That pushes people out the door. According to a report from the Center for Talent Innovation, more than one-third of Black employees intend to leave their companies within two years, and Black professionals are 30% more likely to intend to leave than their white counterparts.
    At Google, which releases turnover statistics, Black employees make up less than 3% of the workforce and have an attrition rate that is 13% higher than the national average.
    "There's a progression model," Derek Avery, a business professor at the University of Houston, tells Axios.

    "Things like microaggressions and harassment lead people to withdraw psychologically, which causes higher levels of burnout and lower levels of engagement. Then there's physical withdrawal: tardiness, absenteeism and ultimately turnover," Avery says.
    What's happening: While many companies are trying to address the issues through implicit bias trainings or recruiting initiatives, these efforts can feel like "slapping a Band-Aid on a tumor," says McKay.

    "Deep down, organizations are highly inertial," he adds.
    Steps that could actually chip away at the turnover problem include adding transparency to recruiting and promotion processes, setting up ways in which employees can report discrimination, and holding aggressors accountable, McKay says. "But organizational policy infrastructures are rarely changed to support diversity."
    There are even stark differences in how workplace racism is viewed within HR departments — the very bodies tasked with addressing it. In the SHRM survey, 49% of Black HR professionals reported observing racial discrimination at work, compared with 13% of white HR professionals.
    The stakes: Black employees who get fed up and leave might have trouble finding their next job.

    "You look like a job hopper to potential employers," says McKay. "And they’re not aware of the job climate you dealt with previously."
    And for the companies themselves, there's a lingering "secondhand smoke effect," Avery says. White employees who aren't experiencing the discrimination themselves but are routinely witnessing it are likely to feel burnout and even quit over the frayed company culture themselves.
    The bottom line: It's simple. "If your organization is doing things that systemically run off talented people, you will, by definition, be left with less talented people," says Avery.

    Surprised it’s that low. When you consider that a fair proportion of “Black Professionals” will feel slighted if they’re treated like genuine royalty 365 days of the year.

    And as far as turnover is concerned, the relatively few competent black workers are always at risk of being poached by the competition, forever dangling better and better salaries and bennies in front of them.

    Because they have to hit diversity targets too, and it’s worth paying up for the few blacks who can do real work as a bonus. But then they get poached by the competition.

    So they come out thinking that they should be running the companies or it's racism.

    So when companies poach them to pad their diversity index is doesn't engender humility.

    I think Big Ad correctly assumes non-elderly WMs don’t watch commercials other than live sports.

    A shift I have noticed is WMs under 40 or so, and assimilated non whites too, now are lot more open about spending big money and time on video games and talk about pro sports far less than even a year ago.

    The ratio of discretionary spending is about 85% women to 15% men. While men pay all the taxes and mortgage payments, women buy all the sh it that can be swayed by advertising which is why it is all geared towards flattering and attracting them, not men. My guess is that ratio is even higher among blacks. There are many many black men that don’t have two thin dimes to rub together but most black women that have at least a lower lower middle class incomes due to all the free sh it they get. Not known for their savvy buying decisions and a zero or negative savings rate, they can afford to buy cheap but ‘must have’ high mark up street cred type products that generate a profit even if you and I would not wear it.

    Agreed, but I think Hollywood and advertising are facing extinction level events for much of them.

    Consider network tv, the home of ads. Or cable. Cord cutting is rampant, particularly with Covid layoffs and Biden's "Dark Winter" lockdown proposed for 18 months minimum. [While we send vaccines to Africa.] OK, Deplorables punished. But that means most people stuck at home will cancel their cable in favor of a few streaming services few of which have ads. And if most people who were were working and now are not (permanently) then Diversity looks like the entitled not-fired HR woman who fired them. And cost them their car and house.

    And while Oligarchy means no competition and economic rents, not even the Oligarchs can force consumers without money anyway to buy. These people are profoundly stupid on a retarded, riding the short bus level.

    Meanwhile the big budget movies are over. The Star Wars movies flopped big time, Marvel's universe is over, and they relied upon in person movie viewing which like movie theaters are dead as a Norwegian Gray parrot pining for the fjords.

    The future such as it is amounts to streaming. There metrics are detailed at least to the household level. One of the streaming services had an ultra-woke "Watchmen" series and even wokeness could not save it from being canceled. Your average streaming service series will cost somewhere between 2-3 million an episode. At a limited run of say, 13 episodes per season thats a cost of around 26-39 million per year that each show has to cover; with no more big money piling in from past revenue streams: theatrical exhibition, re-issues on new media (DVD, then Blu-Ray), cable and network TV revenue.

    Shows like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, the Shield, etc. relied on advertisers to reach a very limited but desirable demographic. Can even sponsors with some Biden bailout bucks now spend propaganda aimed at the same 9 lesbian black teens interested in woke space opera like Star Trek?

    Look at Disney. They spent over a billion on the Star Wars Land in Disneyland, and the park will never re-open. The franchise itself is on life support kept alive by the Mandalorian run by the actor/director/writer John Favreau (no relation to the Obama speechwriter). The guy who basically created the Marvel universe by insisting on Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.

    Its a question of resources. How long can companies like Disney, Time Warner (owner ATT is looking to sell CNN) and CBS-Viacom compete against deep pocket giants like Amazon and Apple offering the same woke crap to the same tiny pool of woke lesbians of color without going bankrupt.

    Its a different model when revenue is subscription based and not advertiser based and there is almost no cross-subsidies from other areas. I assume Paramount will be the first studio to go under but would not be shocked if even Disney went under. They have a ton of debt and are not making money in any foreseeable future.

Not great skin, not good proportions, not good features. (And looks particularly bad overweight, which we see now among this phenotype–esp. in American South.) The Nordics seem to carry off “pale” quite a bit better.

    That said, the classic American “girl next door”–i.e. mostly an Anglo-Irish-Germanic blend, or more broadly a Western Euro blend–is really hard to beat. Obviously there are lots of great looking individual girls across a huge range of other ethnicities–Spanish, French, Eastern European, Jewish, Russian, Arab, Indian, Latina, etc. etc. But on average the western european blend is hard to beat.

    It’s hard to assess how serious the actual damage wrought on the economy by COVID has been with all the stimulus, the adaptations, and how much less we all go out now, but it seems substantial… I wonder if part of the energy for BLM has been because blacks are the only ones spending money to keep significant parts of corporate America afloat this year, such that their own peculiar ideas have to be sucked up to even more than usual.

    Also, Japan historically used a lot of attractive white models in their advertising (as well as American movie stars). The white models (who tended to be from Australia or Russia — there seem to be a lot of stunning tall Russian teens!) are starting to be replaced by that sort of ethnically ambiguous dusky, curly haired multirace type of person that populates Lands’ End catalogs and Apple commercials in the U.S.

    By the way, an unexpected consequence of the coronavirus in Japan is the surfacing of various facts about foreigners in Japan that had never been widely reported. All of a sudden the “cluster” reports on the news, in addition to “hostest bars,” “family gatherings,” and the like, have a new category, “foreigner communities.” And we are learning about all the foreigners in construction, agriculture, the fishing industry, and regional factories. There are weird companies that “supply” these workers to some industries, and not only is Covid becoming an issue, but it’s coming out that these companies handle worker salaries and don’t give them as much money as they are supposed to (which I actually couldn’t care less about).

    Biden should PARDON Trump to avert ‘civil unrest’ in the US, Democrat lawyer says


    “Why Biden should pardon Trump — and we Democrats should want him to,” argued Michael Conway, former counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, in an aptly named “hot take” think-piece published by NBC on Tuesday that immediately drew backlash.

    “Trump would, of course, be one of the least deserving recipients of a federal pardon in history,” he writes, accusing the president of “currently endangering our democratic processes by relentlessly undermining the legitimacy of Biden’s election and thwarting a peaceful transition.”
     

    So, the pavlovian "peaceful transition" is being repurposed. So far it has been used to describe the intermin period between an outgoing color-revolutioned "regime" and an incoming "fresh blood" democracy more amenable to western kleptocratic machinations.

    Neocon factory poultry meat Christiane Amanpour said on CNN that Trump had basically Kristallnachted the US (and probably was about to kickstart another Holocaust) and she did a non-apology about this afterwards.

    An interesting observation, but it lines up with the progressive cultural outlook that places black women at the center of the universe culturally and politically. Incidentally, it also a kick to the crotch of black men, who based on some of my social media interactions, are seething at being relegated to the back seat by progressives other than as the occasional victim of violence at the hands of cops. The white dude might be second fiddle in these commercials but at least he's got the attractive and successful woman, the house, the kids, etc.

    The natural role of a man is as the provider and protector of his family, and obviously that's not the case in far too many cases for black men in America today. Nevertheless, there are black men that want to re-assert that role (and would be good for blacks and America at large, in my view) but are shoved out of the way by their supposed allies in favor of women, gays, trans, etc. I think there is a huge opening for the GOP when it comes to Latinos and black men to be the party of traditional masculinity, if they have to brains to follow the cultural roadmap Trump has uncovered.

    A predecessor company to Dominion was founded by Venezuelans who were close to Hugo Chavez.


    Rudy Giuliani, who Trump has entrusted with running his election challenge operation, explained the theory this weekend on Fox News.

    “It’s way beyond what people think, including a very, very dangerous foreign company that did the votes in 27 states, a company that’s not American, a company that’s foreign, a company that has close, close ties with Venezuela and, therefore, China and uses a Venezuelan company software that’s been used to steal elections in other countries.”

    “I mean, I don’t think people have any idea of the dimension of the national security problem that Dominion creates. This Dominion company is a radical-left company. One of the people there is a big supporter of antifa and has written horrible things about the president for the last three or four years. And, the software that they use is done by a company called Smartmatic, a company that was founded by [Hugo] Chávez and by Chávez’s two allies, who still own it. And it’s been used to cheat in elections in South America. It was banned by the United States several — about a decade ago. It’s come back now as a subcontractor to other companies. It sort of hides in the weeds. But Dominion sends everything to Smartmatic. Can you believe it? Our votes are sent overseas. They are sent to someplace else, some other country. Why do they leave our country?”

    “And this company had — and this company has tried-and-true methods for fixing elections by calling a halt to the voting when you’re running too far behind. They have done that in prior elections. Now, what happened on election night? He [Trump] was ahead by 800,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Impossible to catch up, unless you’re cheating, and same thing in Michigan, Wisconsin. He was ahead in all those states by numbers that, in prior times — and I can show this to you — networks would have called for him. But they didn’t call it for him.”

To repeat, the Russian military is not organized the way the US military is: the Russian military doctrine is purely defensive, this is not propaganda, and it relies for this defense on its ability to very rapidly deploy high readiness mechanized forces anywhere inside Russia and within about 1000km from the Russian border and the ability to destroy any force entering this zone.

If you were a foreigner just visiting this country and you had to judge it based upon what was reflected in commercials, then you would undoubtedly believe that America is about 60% black, since seemingly every commercial has a black and/or mixed race person in it. It almost seems as if it is a stone cold requirement that a black person be cast in every commercial these days. Amazing.

    Apparently Trump has committed crimes:

    Biden should PARDON Trump to avert ‘civil unrest’ in the US, Democrat lawyer says

    “Why Biden should pardon Trump — and we Democrats should want him to,” argued Michael Conway, former counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, in an aptly named “hot take” think-piece published by NBC on Tuesday that immediately drew backlash.

    “Trump would, of course, be one of the least deserving recipients of a federal pardon in history,” he writes, accusing the president of “currently endangering our democratic processes by relentlessly undermining the legitimacy of Biden’s election and thwarting a peaceful transition.”

    So, the pavlovian “peaceful transition” is being repurposed. So far it has been used to describe the intermin period between an outgoing color-revolutioned “regime” and an incoming “fresh blood” democracy more amenable to western kleptocratic machinations.

    Neocon factory poultry meat Christiane Amanpour said on CNN that Trump had basically Kristallnachted the US (and probably was about to kickstart another Holocaust) and she did a non-apology about this afterwards. I guess they will have to drag Trump off for that: “Nearly did another 6 million”.

    The ratio of discretionary spending is about 85% women to 15% men. While men pay all the taxes and mortgage payments, women buy all the sh it that can be swayed by advertising which is why it is all geared towards flattering and attracting them, not men. My guess is that ratio is even higher among blacks. There are many many black men that don't have two thin dimes to rub together but most black women that have at least a lower lower middle class incomes due to all the free sh it they get. Not known for their savvy buying decisions and a zero or negative savings rate, they can afford to buy cheap but 'must have' high mark up street cred type products that generate a profit even if you and I would not wear it.

    Replies: @Whiskey

    Agreed, but I think Hollywood and advertising are facing extinction level events for much of them.

    Consider network tv, the home of ads. Or cable. Cord cutting is rampant, particularly with Covid layoffs and Biden’s “Dark Winter” lockdown proposed for 18 months minimum. [While we send vaccines to Africa.] OK, Deplorables punished. But that means most people stuck at home will cancel their cable in favor of a few streaming services few of which have ads. And if most people who were were working and now are not (permanently) then Diversity looks like the entitled not-fired HR woman who fired them. And cost them their car and house.

    And while Oligarchy means no competition and economic rents, not even the Oligarchs can force consumers without money anyway to buy. These people are profoundly stupid on a retarded, riding the short bus level.

    Meanwhile the big budget movies are over. The Star Wars movies flopped big time, Marvel’s universe is over, and they relied upon in person movie viewing which like movie theaters are dead as a Norwegian Gray parrot pining for the fjords.

    The future such as it is amounts to streaming. There metrics are detailed at least to the household level. One of the streaming services had an ultra-woke “Watchmen” series and even wokeness could not save it from being canceled. Your average streaming service series will cost somewhere between 2-3 million an episode. At a limited run of say, 13 episodes per season thats a cost of around 26-39 million per year that each show has to cover; with no more big money piling in from past revenue streams: theatrical exhibition, re-issues on new media (DVD, then Blu-Ray), cable and network TV revenue.

    Shows like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, the Shield, etc. relied on advertisers to reach a very limited but desirable demographic. Can even sponsors with some Biden bailout bucks now spend propaganda aimed at the same 9 lesbian black teens interested in woke space opera like Star Trek?

    Look at Disney. They spent over a billion on the Star Wars Land in Disneyland, and the park will never re-open. The franchise itself is on life support kept alive by the Mandalorian run by the actor/director/writer John Favreau (no relation to the Obama speechwriter). The guy who basically created the Marvel universe by insisting on Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.

    Its a question of resources. How long can companies like Disney, Time Warner (owner ATT is looking to sell CNN) and CBS-Viacom compete against deep pocket giants like Amazon and Apple offering the same woke crap to the same tiny pool of woke lesbians of color without going bankrupt.

    Its a different model when revenue is subscription based and not advertiser based and there is almost no cross-subsidies from other areas. I assume Paramount will be the first studio to go under but would not be shocked if even Disney went under. They have a ton of debt and are not making money in any foreseeable future.

He was using those black broads in what we use to refer to as "practice pussy." He practiced on them for the real game, when he found an attractive white girl.

I mute the TV's sound and channel surf to the other stations. However, in the slice of ads I've seen, quite often I see a black man and a white woman, in one case a very handsome very blond woman, every black man's dream. And white man's for that matter.

Presenting idealized versions of WOKE black women marrying white men as the "proper thing for upscale blacks ladies to do," will only appeal to a certain sector of black people, while disgusting the majority. Neither side generally of the bell curve cares about the other. More often, both sides are embarrassed by the other, at worst, and condescending of the other, at best.

    The current media blitz of intermarrying for social and fiscal success is the most venal brand of cynicism by the authors of these perverse social sideshows.

They are thus paying for national advertising to troll a group that is just 10% of white males (and thus 3.25% of the total adult population).

    We know very well that many if not most WNs openly say that they would rather have sex with a white man than a black woman, since race loyalty trumps sexual orientation in their view. Plus, they say that having no baby is better than having a mulatto baby.

    This also explains why WNs have no problem with transgenderism, since the race of the person did not change, so the transformation is a non-event to WNs in terms of sexual preference.

    This, of course, explains why White Trashionalism carries zero appeal with normal heterosexual white people.

    False. They don't want families at all. They just want intra-white socialism, and want to mooch off of normal, successful whites like me. It is just another socialist moocher ideology pretending to be something it is not.

    The rampant homosexuality within WN subculture (as has been proven many times) is why WNs are not allowed in the respectable white mainstream.


    Oh, I am not a South Asian. No one with an IQ above 70 thinks that, and Ron Unz admitted that he knows I am not one, and just said to see if the WNs here will believe literally anything he wants them to believe (and he was right).

    In just two short sentences, you proved yourself to be a 70-IQ WN homo. What is quite revealing is that you really aren't the same race as functional whites, since you are where the unwanted wastematter collects which nature wants to remove from the gene pool.

The only reason you don't see more White male/Black female couples is because MOST White males don't find the average Black woman attractive at all.

    I characterise computer games in three ways – by competitiveness (PvP/PvE), immersion and story. StarCraft 2 / Dota 2 are competitive PvP. Mario / Dark Souls are competitive PvE. Your generic run-of-the-mill $60 game is likely to be story-driven (Assassin’s Creed, God of War, Witcher 3, the Call of Duty campaign). And then there is a focus on immersion – milsims such as Post Scriptum, atmospheric horror games such as Soma, traditional RPGs such as Neverwinter Nights, they all try to sell a fantasy of being there first and foremost. These three branches have almost nothing in common, although virtually any game incorporates all three.

    Brutsdale apparently disagrees, but i agree that there is a particular pale ginger phenotype common in the British isles that is not, shall we say the finest white phenotype. Not great skin, not good proportions, not good features. (And looks particularly bad overweight, which we see now among this phenotype--esp. in American South.) The Nordics seem to carry off "pale" quite a bit better.

    That said, the classic American "girl next door"--i.e. mostly an Anglo-Irish-Germanic blend, or more broadly a Western Euro blend--is really hard to beat. Obviously there are lots of great looking individual girls across a huge range of other ethnicities--Spanish, French, Eastern European, Jewish, Russian, Arab, Indian, Latina, etc. etc. But on average the western european blend is hard to beat. (Of course ... these are my people, and--imprinting--my mom was a very fine looking woman of this "girl next door" type, so i'm biased.)

    Advertising is all about selling stuff to people, but they're not just selling the product that the ad is ostensibly for, they're selling the social agenda that the product is wrapped up in.

    Advertising is all about selling stuff to people, but they’re not just selling the product that the ad is ostensibly for, they’re selling the social agenda that the product is wrapped up in.

    Advertising used to be about selling the product, but that hasn’t been true since the 80’s. What they sell now is the emotion; the ad attempts to make you feel an emotion and link that emotion with the product. While the advertiser may or may not have an agenda, what they’re selling is the emotion “I’m a good person, because I believe white men find black women sexy, it’s common for an average black man to drive a new BMW SUV to go camping, and black girls are innately capable of being astronauts.” It’s essentially televangelist Prosperity Gospel but for a different religion.

  295. I threw out our TV twenty years ago, but I have to say I find the topic very interesting. I even went to school for television and radio programming and scriptwriting, but left that field once I realized what they mean by ‘programming’.

  296. It’s almost as if every television ad these days features a black woman married to a white man living in a nice house in the suburbs because blacks are the most brand-obsessed and least good deal-interested set of consumers.

    I got married a few years ago, but before then, out of necessity, I was fairly plugged in to how women view the social and dating scene. It hasn’t been remarked about much in the general misery of 2020, but I have the feeling that the social scene has been pretty dreadful. A bad economy plus everything shut down means a lot of people who aren’t settled down but would like to be basically lost a year off their biological clocks. And, maybe this is stereotypical, but I have a sense that young men may deal with being shut in at home better than young women do. We’re no longer forced to have to dress up, shave, get haircuts, and go out, and a lot of male-focused entertainment (video games, porn, sports, etc.) can be enjoyed from the comfort of the couch. 2020 was OnlyFans’ breakout year. Conversely, the sorts of things that young, professional-class young women put their resources, time and attention into often aren’t that much fun if they either can’t be enjoyed out on the town or shared with company. I’ve heard from women who are putting an inordinate amount of hope and energy into their “Zoom dates.”

    Anyway, from black women’s perspective, WMBF seems like the height of aspiration over reality. Maybe Kamala Harris and her late marriage to a rich, white, Jewish LA lawyer husband offers some hope. (I have one old school friend who went into politics and whose career has outlasted her eggs. I’m pretty sure she’s looking at Harris as a potential personal example to follow: find a nice, older, rich guy who already has kids and who wouldn’t mind a low-maintenance second wife with her own career.) Advertising tends to be a strong reflection of either the aspirations or the insecurities of whoever is being advertising to.

    It is ironic that White men are depicted as the devils of society and yet most Black women would happily marry one.

    Most Black women are unmarried and at most have a "baby daddy" that doesn't pay the bills. A middle class White man would be a dream come true for them.

    https://www.axios.com/corporate-america-black-employee-turnover-rate-91563b14-c87b-435b-b157-0443c586735d.html



    Systemic racism is leading to a turnover problem in corporate America: Companies have a hard time holding on to Black employees.

    Why it matters: Beyond affecting individual professionals and teams, a corporate culture that causes attrition can spread rot through entire companies.

    Driving the news: If companies don't pay attention to their corporate culture, the pandemic and remote work could drive the Black turnover rate even higher, experts say.

    "Remote work can exacerbate the problem because there’s less person-to-person contact," says Patrick McKay, a professor of human resource management at Temple University.
    In-person encounters with colleagues who don't look like you chip away at your biases, but those biases can stay strong when we're all working from home, he says.
    By the numbers:

    33% of Black professionals don't feel respected or valued at work, per a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management. Compare that with 18% of their white counterparts.
    That pushes people out the door. According to a report from the Center for Talent Innovation, more than one-third of Black employees intend to leave their companies within two years, and Black professionals are 30% more likely to intend to leave than their white counterparts.
    At Google, which releases turnover statistics, Black employees make up less than 3% of the workforce and have an attrition rate that is 13% higher than the national average.
    "There's a progression model," Derek Avery, a business professor at the University of Houston, tells Axios.

    "Things like microaggressions and harassment lead people to withdraw psychologically, which causes higher levels of burnout and lower levels of engagement. Then there's physical withdrawal: tardiness, absenteeism and ultimately turnover," Avery says.
    What's happening: While many companies are trying to address the issues through implicit bias trainings or recruiting initiatives, these efforts can feel like "slapping a Band-Aid on a tumor," says McKay.

    "Deep down, organizations are highly inertial," he adds.
    Steps that could actually chip away at the turnover problem include adding transparency to recruiting and promotion processes, setting up ways in which employees can report discrimination, and holding aggressors accountable, McKay says. "But organizational policy infrastructures are rarely changed to support diversity."
    There are even stark differences in how workplace racism is viewed within HR departments — the very bodies tasked with addressing it. In the SHRM survey, 49% of Black HR professionals reported observing racial discrimination at work, compared with 13% of white HR professionals.
    The stakes: Black employees who get fed up and leave might have trouble finding their next job.

    "You look like a job hopper to potential employers," says McKay. "And they’re not aware of the job climate you dealt with previously."
    And for the companies themselves, there's a lingering "secondhand smoke effect," Avery says. White employees who aren't experiencing the discrimination themselves but are routinely witnessing it are likely to feel burnout and even quit over the frayed company culture themselves.
    The bottom line: It's simple. "If your organization is doing things that systemically run off talented people, you will, by definition, be left with less talented people," says Avery.

    The Beatles were equally short and scrawny. It wasn’t just the war rationing. Their parents were teens during the malnutrition of the 1930s depression. Then the rationing continued up till the mid 1950s. So for English kids born in the early 1940s it was rationing till they were 12-15 years old and born of parents malnourished during the 1930s depression.

    English kids born about 1958-1962 were the first cohort to be what we consider normal size and normal age of puberty.

    WNs simply want to make families with their own race.

     

    False. They don't want families at all. They just want intra-white socialism, and want to mooch off of normal, successful whites like me. It is just another socialist moocher ideology pretending to be something it is not.

    The rampant homosexuality within WN subculture (as has been proven many times) is why WNs are not allowed in the respectable white mainstream.


    Oh, I am not a South Asian. No one with an IQ above 70 thinks that, and Ron Unz admitted that he knows I am not one, and just said to see if the WNs here will believe literally anything he wants them to believe (and he was right).

    3) ok, yes, his mother was descended from John Punch. Does that mean even super-white people with 0.2% black ancestry qualify?

    4) is it really fair to treat people with only a little slave ancestry the same as people of 100% slave ancestry? Will there be means testing? Should Archie Windsor, Michael Jordan and Ahmaud Arbery's parents all get the same reparations?

    Surprised it’s that low. When you consider that a fair proportion of “Black Professionals” will feel slighted if they’re treated like genuine royalty 365 days of the year.

    And as far as turnover is concerned, the relatively few competent black workers are always at risk of being poached by the competition, forever dangling better and better salaries and bennies in front of them.

    This is the result of liberal White indocrinators/educators telling the talented tenth from a very early age that they should all be presidents and astronauts. In the mind of the liberal they are helping right the ship.

    So they come out thinking that they should be running the companies or it’s racism.

    So when companies poach them to pad their diversity index is doesn’t engender humility.

    It’s all about hallucinating your own reality. I recently caught some of the movie “Late Night” with Mindy Kaling (some woke Hindu) as my wife was watching it. In sum, the female late night host is being overtaken by a dull, right-wing comic. Because, you know, the right is dominant and controls our cultural institutions (face palm). You see the same theme throughout the media: the right is in power, the left is the powerless victim. When victimhood is sainthood you’ll do whatever it takes to imagine a world where you’re the victim. (See also Star Wars actor John Boyega coming out to support BLM even though he fears it ‘may cost me my job’ in Hollywood...)

    The left is the victim until they can wake up one day to find that they have triumphed by converting every single ignorant Trump voter and eliminated racism. But somehow there’s no in between.

    This is a great point. The left controls: media, universities, tech, etc. Yet their followers still see themselves as the little guys, constantly fighting an uphill battle… it’s almost laughable… almost.

    BTW, the Levi Strauss fortune has donated billions to California Democrats and other communist gay black radical causes for the last 100 years. The family, the Haases and Russels are hard core Jew radicals. And all their jeans are made in 4th world slave factories.

    And they didn’t invent denim work clothes either. Medieval French and Italians did.

    Also, who do you think sold all those slaves in the first place? I'm sure West African countries are willing to chip in with a few billion to pay off their debt to the descendants of the people they sold.

    I mean, who bought them, too?
    It was JEWS.
    The hub of the slave trade was in Newport, RI, home of the first synagogue in America.
    Slave markets were closed on Saturday, not Sunday.

    It’s almost as if every television ad these days features a black woman married to a white man living in a nice house in the suburbs because blacks are the most brand-obsessed and least good deal-interested set of consumers.
     
    I got married a few years ago, but before then, out of necessity, I was fairly plugged in to how women view the social and dating scene. It hasn't been remarked about much in the general misery of 2020, but I have the feeling that the social scene has been pretty dreadful. A bad economy plus everything shut down means a lot of people who aren't settled down but would like to be basically lost a year off their biological clocks. And, maybe this is stereotypical, but I have a sense that young men may deal with being shut in at home better than young women do. We're no longer forced to have to dress up, shave, get haircuts, and go out, and a lot of male-focused entertainment (video games, porn, sports, etc.) can be enjoyed from the comfort of the couch. 2020 was OnlyFans' breakout year. Conversely, the sorts of things that young, professional-class young women put their resources, time and attention into often aren't that much fun if they either can't be enjoyed out on the town or shared with company. I've heard from women who are putting an inordinate amount of hope and energy into their "Zoom dates."

    Anyway, from black women's perspective, WMBF seems like the height of aspiration over reality. Maybe Kamala Harris and her late marriage to a rich, white, Jewish LA lawyer husband offers some hope. (I have one old school friend who went into politics and whose career has outlasted her eggs. I'm pretty sure she's looking at Harris as a potential personal example to follow: find a nice, older, rich guy who already has kids and who wouldn't mind a low-maintenance second wife with her own career.) Advertising tends to be a strong reflection of either the aspirations or the insecurities of whoever is being advertising to.

    I was becoming a total misanthrope before all this happened. The lockdown just accelerated that transformation. I tell you though, I’ve found that I enjoy being alone and not having to deal with other people’s bullshit. It’s also awesome how much stuff one can watch on different streaming services for free or for very little. During the pandemic, I’ve discovered Tubi and been watching a lot of action movies from when I was younger like Bloodsport, American Ninja I, II, IV, Angel Town, F/X 2, and others. Just wanting to see men kicking ass from a time when stuff like that wasn’t considered an issue or offensive.

    As Chris Rock pointed out, the dirty secret of interracial dating is that black women aren’t really that attracted to white men.

    He says that if you see a well-dressed black woman on the arm of some fat well to do white guy, you know one thing for sure - her credit is f***ed up. “How come you’re with him?” “They was gonna repossess my car!”

    Replies: @kpkinsunnyphiladelphia, @njguy73, @Wade Hampton, @Forbes, @dcthrowback, @anonymous1963

    The truth is the opposite of what you say. Most white men are NOT AT ALL attracted to black women. Actually this is pretty much true for other races as well. The comparatively few “black ” women who are attractive tend to be fairly to very mixed.

    It's rare in my experience to see white dudes with black wives in ads. It's probably more common IRL. What I will say is that these huge corporations are happy to put short-term and maybe even long-term profit second to social engineering. Rothbard was wrong to say that corporations' only purpose is to make profit. Or maybe that was true during his lifetime. It's unquestionably false today.

    Replies: @TWS, @a reader, @ThreeCranes, @Anon87, @Cato

    Murray Rothbard reasoned deductively that a corporation’s survival (and satisfaction of shareholders) depended entirely on profit. But, Rothbard consistently visualized the world in the ideal condition of no interference from the state, where the only pressure comes primarily from customers, and then vendors and employees. Not the state. And the state is the elephant in the room.

    The Beatles were equally short and scrawny. It wasn’t just the war rationing. Their parents were teens during the malnutrition of the 1930s depression. Then the rationing continued up till the mid 1950s. So for English kids born in the early 1940s it was rationing till they were 12-15 years old and born of parents malnourished during the 1930s depression.

    English kids born about 1958-1962 were the first cohort to be what we consider normal size and normal age of puberty.

    One out of four WW2 US draftees were rejected for the identical reasons you stated. Many were malnourished and physically unfit for military service.

    Ah, now I see why we seldom agree. I find redheads exquisite. The paler the better.

    Actress Deborah Ann Woll was a favorite. She's so pale that when she was in the HBO series True Bloodand became a vampire, she was actually whiter than the makeup they applied to give the vampire characters their pallor.

    Of course there's more acceptance of the darker shades these days. There are a lot more of them around, and the soft, squishy dweebs that make up the under-40 white male population will take whatever will have them!
