Mighty whitey has been doing this shit a LONG time bro.🤪 The original Egyptians before her lily-white ass were of color. Of course, the Hebrew Israelites were Black as well. You already know that. After 70 AD they moved across the mountains into West Africa as well as other places, just as the scripture states. We have to learn our real history, so the so-called white man can't get you in their traps. His original name IS Yahuah. Not Yahweh. That's some Jewish European derivation that doesn't come from the original Hebrew.

I guess all restaurants could say they “stole” their ingredients from someone. Pizza Hut “stole” pizza. Taco Bell “stole” tacos. I guess food “belongs” to someone in particular. Who are you stealing your air and water from? Good Lord. Will the victimhood ever end?

[@phataton8206]

Yeah. Everything is technically “stolen” from someone- hey, the Romans stole the Republic from the Atruscans. Dern. Were any of those people intending to do anything with the idea? Probably not. So a lady opens a chicken stand and goes out of business a year later. OK what’s the point. The recipe isn’t the success it’s the hard work you put behind it. Who can’t mix salt, pepper, Garlic into a pan and experiment with ingredients. Who did we steal the guitar from? It’s a piece of wood with strings on it. So what. ? Some single person somewhere had the first idea of the idea but would we know what a guitar was if it were up to that guy? Probably not. It’s people named Gibson, Fender, Martin with their factories and marketing that make us know what a guitar was. I guess India is owed a hell of a lot of credit for most everything that exists.

Those who control the images defines the narrative. Questions are- who writes the commercials? Who cast the actors? Who decides what the families look like in commercials? These are important questions to ask media.

[@erisdiscordia7439]

Especially since the portrayal of the family has mutated over time, with children taking on more quiet or defiant roles, women being loud leaders (toxically masculine), and the dad is a housewife

[@erisdiscordia7439]

In advertising and just making any kind of films even if its a 30 sec propaganda film for ur product, EVERY element is intentional. Dirty dishes in a sink to make the house look lived in, the posters on the walls in a set. The awkward phrases here are not meant to sound normal, they are meant to induce a change in consciousness which makes us buy

[@erisdiscordia7439]

Advertising psychology is worth researching, it is perhaps the most dehumanizing body of thought in existence. Narcissistic manipulation made academic, how to control peoples survival instincts and redirect it to put money in ur pockets. Evil, evil stuff.

"I'm a man"... who asked you? With all that said... Hammer addressed your thought on him Shucking and Jiving for chicken on other occasions... and from plenty of sources... Hammer ain't play that shit. So if it bothers you so much. Address him on it. That's my take. And what?

“Watermelon & Fried Chicken” ain’t a black thing, it’s a Southern thing. For god’s sake everybody likes fried chicken and watermelon. All over the universe! If fried chicken is a black thing? I’m the whitest black dude you may meet? If fried chicken is black thing? Well, sign me up! I’m there baby! Let’s all of us, all over the cosmos do a quick fried chicken run!

[@l.k.1111]

Truth! Preach! That is the reality. It's a southern thing...meaning all races from the south. Some people are ignorant, and folly in the ignorance. Most people are becoming awake, but some are still asleep in the dark. Sad stuff... Love your post.

[@taunjabrockway6760]

Are you really virtue signaling over a food joke well no shit but per capita it is true that they more watermelon because back when they were sharecroppers it was bigger and easier to grow and took up less room for their designated personal plots. Ffs

The other celebs including Mary J was different, to the point where she actually considers that as possibly *the* most embarrassing moment of her career. The ad was actually pulled after several complaints. KZbin is like the best history lesson you never had.
