You've been here long enough to know that all it takes is one comment and then others keep piling on if you don't nip it in the bud.

Explain to me how an organization being started by black women is PROOF that that is the REASON why there was not a larger male presence? Does anyone who has posted here personally know the women or anyone working at the ad agency behind the commercial? I've only been able to watch the video one time and I've been saving, but I haven't read any of the pieces on it yet so has it been specifically stated that black women made the final decision on the video as opposed to someone white and corporate at P&G? Or that black women proposed it as opposed to someone at the ad agency? How is that you can accept it as true that black men being excluded because it was put out by a division started by black women, but none of the other reasons I gave such as women being the primary caregiver? How many men appear in diaper commercials, something usually dominated by white women who people all assume are married? Until recently with swifter commercials you didn't even see them often in cleaning or laundry commercials. Care of home and children are traditionally seen as a woman's domain. It's only been the past year or two that you see men in these types of commercials, and it's not a lot of them.

I apologize for going off, maybe I did go overboard. I'm just tired of all this. It never ends and all I see is other people justifying the nonsense.

I think see your point of view. Respect.

STOP!

I respect you told them the deal and called them on their privilege. Their tears told the deal.

At the same time, I don't want you to have to explain to HR why Becky felt "intimated by" you or how you were "aggressively" making your points.

Tread lightly fam...

I feel you..but it was okay.

One of the girls from up north told me that she had never heard of sundown towns before. She said that one of her other white female friends had some black coworkers come and visit her while she was sick. She was really happy to see them and thankful that they came to visit her. But they told her that they felt that they should leave before nightfall. And she was like why? They told her that she lived in a sundown town. The white lady was shocked because she never thought about her area being a danger for others. The girl that I know was shocked too as if she could not comprehend the concept. I nodded my head like yeah....sundown towns....I know about those.

And then she said.....
That the sick lady said that she knew that her black friends really cared about her....because they risked their lives to come and see her.

For starters, habe made a point NOT to watch the commercial.

I want nothing cooked up by the white insecurity system to humanize me to another customer base, informative/introspective/engaging or NOT!
When will CACs have that 'talk' with themselves?
They did...after President Obama's first election victory. They either double down on their hate, committed suicide, or pretended to het a clue.
Literally EVERY comment on that video is racist or negative. EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!! And the few comments made by (what I perceive as )"blk women"are disparaging to blk men. One commenter when as far as coping and pasting the entirety of those false DOJ statistics to justify our treatment (blk people)by law enforcement. The You Tube comments section is truely one of the most disgusting places in ALL of the web.
White insecurity and denial are a hell of a cocktail.

And I have heard that the Yahoo comments section is THE most racist on the web.
PG did a great thing, but we need to have these discussions with US and be willing to organize with US. This social media shit, is nothing more than group think, attack on anything positively Black.

PG has always been big in supporting the National Society of Black Engineers....and they HIRE US.
To the last paragraph, we need an analgous firm to P&G and hire within.

So funny. I remember discussing brain drain in high school and college, in relation to U.S. companies pulling the best talent from second and third world countries...hell, they do ot to the nation within a nation of r0 million blacks in the U.S. now.

I dont care that they hire. That still means our "labor capital" still supports the system of white insecurity.

I said I wasn't going to respond to these types of comments as it would just serve to derail the thread but I swear to God I'm tired of hearing everything turn into a bitch fest, black woman against black men, etc...

So the fact that women are primary caretakers isn't the reason that these women are having these conversations with their children? The fact that traditionally they would have been the ones home when children came home from school while the father was out working? The fact that mothers are more often the ones who calm, soothe, take care of boo-boos, cuts and scrapes? The ones who are often the ones there most of the times, who when they see their kids upset or hurting are the ones encouraging them to talk, express their feelings and tell her what is going on? Or that most likely this was partially put together by outside help such as the ad agency behind the video? https://twitter.com/BBDONY SMH. I'm not saying black men are absent from these roles or situations, but my parents were married 52 years before my dad passed, and my he was not the person I was running to when I was upset about something.

BGOL is famous for sprouting the 70% oow birth rate while advocating for men not to get married, spreading the gospel of gold diggers and women only having kids so they can hit you up for child support, yet some are upset that there are no men being vocal in the video. Seriously?

Y'all bitch about black women ALL the damn time. It never stops. BLM has too many black women and gays. Black women are excluding men. Black women are only in positions of power because white folks aren't scared of them. FUCK ALL Y'ALL. Y'all act like black women aren't catching hell in the work force. Instead of bitching and complaining about how black men are being portrayed, or the lack of such portrayal, why don't Y'ALL stand on the front lines and build something. Why not make your presence known and felt? Y'all get on my last damn nerves.
My comment was a simple observation made when I went beyond the emotional undertones that the commercial initially invoked in me. Propaganda is a hell of a tool and white people are masters of it, therefore, I've learned to not let my guard down when white institutions speak to Black issues. This commercial, as beautifully done as it is, still has elements of propaganda that run through it (as do most Black movies & TV shows). This recognition doesn't mean throwing the baby out with the bath water. It's simply, an acknowledgement that even with a well executed piece as this, subtle forms of propaganda exists within it.

On a side note, ask yourself how many movies you've seen that portray images of a positive Black family, within the last year. Can you name 5? Now ask yourself the opposite question.

We are at war and we're the only ones that don't it. We create groups to empower Black women or Black men, all while the Black family is a dying model. There is no culture when the women and men are separate.

White folks hate to see we view them as a problem that affects our lives.
They want to constantly be put on a pedestal and honored.
If you lived in a mixed community or an urban community, more likely you had the talk and you have the talk with your children.
I know I did with my son.
Fuck these delusional CACS and the bubbles they live in.
