Pepsi is racist

Despite my racism comments, this commercial is in no way racist. Hell, it's not even factual. The white woman needs at least 100 more pounds.

Truth. I'll present my sister as an example. She dates black men exclusively.

No, but I see your point and agree. Everyone is different, though.

More to the point, if a 5 year old called you a dumb azz cracker would you care? No. Because it holds no weight. It was said by a stupid 5 year old. People have to understand that the words being thrown are thrown by idiots. There just words though. WE need to get beyond them. Once you no longer let the word have power it can no longer harm you.

Your canary in the coal mine part is very true. The problem is the education level in this country is going backwards fast. It first started in the inner city due to there not being as much funding as the suburbs. Instread of fixing the situation they began busing and other crap that made it even worse. The decline in education began to spread out and now society as a whole is lazy and has no values. It is very true that the African American culture has a serious problem with single moms. Problem is that same issue has now spread into the caucasian race also. It is not a black or white issue though. It is an education issue. WE cannot move forward until all races come to the table with the same amount of set skills. Until we race the education and teach people that you can't have a free ride but most work to success this country will continue to go backwards and society will continue to fall apart.

It is not about education as much as it is a cultural change brought on by the sexual revolution and 40 years of feminism... as well as the gov't stepping in and replacing men as fathers (welfare/WIC checks).

Again, this Super Bowl issue has nothing to do with racism. nothing at all... it is a smoke screen. The truth is that these people are upset because the black community's dirty laundry is being aired out for all to see. Everything in those two commercials (The Pepsi and Doritos commercials) exemplifies exactly what is going on in our community. People don't like the truth being told to them.

again, how is that racist?

The Daily Corinthian is a tiny newspaper, and you're going to claim the entire state is racist because a newspaper with a paid circulation of just over 11 thousand buries the presidential election results on page 5?

Maybe the paper thought that the local elections were more important.

I very much doubt the average reader of the daily corinthian is looking for their presidential election news coverage from that newspaper. with the internet and 24 hour news networks the only way the local newspapers survive is by providing local content you can't find anywhere else.

no, I clearly have a problem with reading comprehension. I see the error of my ways now. I will have to take volger at his word that the Daily Corinthian buried the Presidential election coverage due to racism. You should too, droski, because it's more of that real world stuff that we are apparently missing.

RV, great post! But that same thing applies to all communities now. A lack of a strong father figures has brought down our society today. Men need to be men. Women need to be women. Yes we can be equal in the household but we do need to know our roles. Yes they are different. Example. Mothers sooth the pain and make things better, dad's just say rub some dirt on it!

Our culture is falling apart because education is going down the drain. They go hand in hand to a certain degree. Not completely. Education can mean many different things also. It is not just book smart. Teaching a child at a young age that it takes hard work in this country to make it is educating the child about life.

add to that the fact that many parents today are under-/uneducated because of their unsatisfactory upbringing .. no way their kids are going to get the kind of start they need at home ...

Likely were SJL found her outrage -

However, author J.C. Davies has raised another flag about the Pepsi Max commercial entitled “Love Hurts” that she found offensive due to racial stereotypes.

On race in commercials: Was Pepsi offensive, funny or both? | Chatter | Los Angeles Times

Love this part - facts? we don't need no stinkin' facts.

Is it possible that the commercial was just about a couple and their relationship with junk food and Pepsi?

Davies says no.

"No, I think it was intended to be about race. If not, then the advertisers were really even more off the mark," she said.

Davies clearly isn't PC though

I also don't believe in being PC; I think to have any real conversation, you can't be PC. I always am thoughtful about what I say of people of various races, but I am never PC. I wouldn't have been so irritated by that Pepsi commercial if it hadn't promoted such a tired, negative, unfair stereotype of black women."
