| Why are Caucasians Vanishing in TV Commercials? |
| 2022-01-09 |
| [American Thinker] First it was responsible manly smart men... Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For a financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places they cut into the action of films, lectures and concerts, tearing apart musical performances. There's no escaping commercials, we've grown accustomed to them, and they become almost as much a part of our lives as food, toilets, and sleep. In the United States today, the White population (not including Hispanics) is 57.8%. In real life Caucasians are still in the majority, but now on TV and the Internet they are swept under the rug like trash. Blacks compose 14% of the U.S. population but appear in 50% of commercials. White actors now appear for promotion of health insurance, gold, loans and some medicines. Moreover, if a White person appears in a commercial, he/she is usually old, sick, a freak, or at the very least, an appendage to a Black partner. If there's a doctor on the screen, he's usually Black, while the patient is usually White. Caucasian young men appear in only 4% of the commercials! If some aliens began to study the population of Planet Earth through our TV commercials they would have a somewhat distorted picture of Americans, to put it mildly. |

| #15 MF. I would argue we are already 2 different cultures with a widening gap. It's not just commercials, literary characters and historical figures have their ethnicity et al changed in the visual representation. Really woke commercials/entertainment will have NO blondes. None of this is targeted at anyone over say 18 probably, as they have codified their reality. This is for kids and teens to casually but repeatedly be exposed to it and it becomes reality. |

| #14 Don't like TV or Hollywood content? Don't view it, boycott the sponsors and let them know. |

| #13 We're developing two cultures. One is for normal people who want to see a dramatic or comedic treatment of life's struggles, and aspirations. The other is the 'official' culture of corporate consumer advertising + NFLX/Hollywood, Broadway and the Pravda-media: this increasingly resembles the Bolsheviks' surrogate reality," per historian Richard Pipes. From ch. 6 of Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime, "Culture as Propaganda," p. 283: "Propaganda was not a Bolshevik invention of course. The novelty of what the Bolsheviks did lay in the centrality of propaganda in Soviet life: previously used to touch up or to distort reality, in communist Russia became a surrogate reality. "Communist propaganda strove, and to a surprising extent succeeded, in creating a fictitious world side by side with that of every day experience and in stark contradiction to it, which Soviet citizens were required to pretend to believe." |

| #11 The depiction of blacks living in affluence and harmony with other races (including Asians, like the Amazon commercial) should be considered an outrageous lie by BLM, which drumbeats oppression 24/7. But of course, oppression is currency, so why would they object? |

| #6 Many have noticed this as well. Women majority in most movies in leading roles. Language changes also, Ebonics and so on. Old films disappearing as with books having been written or having men in leading roles. Media is losing a vast audience. Can you imagine acting in productions in NYC. They have killed off this industry. Best not even to view. It is a waist of time anyway. |
