I agree with you on everything you said, I also agree to a point with CD,  but I stop when he makes the claim that we should view it all from the perspective of history.

Yes America has a history of racism, Yes there are alot of racists out there, both black and white.   TO say one should be monitored more than the other is ignorant of reality.

We should judge racist things equally,  that commercial of the italian guy getting replaced by a black guy and the statment of "colored is better" IS racist, Racism is defined as the belief that one persons Race is better than another.

To say that the commercial ISNT racist goes against the very definition.

We need to judge these things from the same yardstick,  If the commercial was of a black man in the states getting put in a washing machine, and some black lady pouring bleach in it, and out pops a Hot white guy,  you would see People boycotting and throwing all sorts of shitstorms.   Especially if it had a undertag of "Get rid of Dirt, white is better"   or something like that.

People on this forum and IN real life have a double standard when it comes to racism, they believe that because blacks had such a hard time throughout the years they are owed slack.  My philosophy is judge all by the same yardstick.  To say that history gives them the right to be racist against whites is Retarded...

So im glad you called this out, but your going to get bombed with people.   THis forum has alot of people who have double standards set in their blood, they wont see your point of view for anything, and I pretty much gave up trying to argue logic with them.
