Yesterday I saw an article on The New York Times website about a Republican TV spot running in Tennessee, and claiming there was this big controversy because it was racist.
Naturally, I watched the ad (they had a link to it online). I’ve watched it several times, and I’ve even shown it to other people. No one can decide what makes it racist.
Even people going into it knowing that the Democratic candidate being attacked is black, and that there is supposedly something in the spot that is racist can’t figure it out.
The only way I know what is supposedly racist about it is because I’ve read at least three or four articles about it on the Times website. They have a white woman saying how she met Mr. Ford (the Democratic candidate) at a Playboy party. At the end, they then have her asking Mr. Ford to call her.
Still don’t see what’s racist about it? I don’t either. The claim is that it plays on the aversion many people have to interracial dating. Huh? It must have taken a lot of analysis to finally come up with something like that.
Here’s the link for those of you who want to check it out.
Yeah, it’s a hoax, but the interracial dating is supposed to be the issue. But hey, if he’s attending playboy parties, he might as well dress in a jersey, gold chains, baggy pants and sideways cap and wear some ho’s on each arm.
You have at least one misspelled word, an extra word and a missing word in your article. tisk tisk
I didn’t find an extra word or a missing word, but I did find where I used "add" instead of "ad."<br><br>It’s full of obtuse grammatical constructions, but I don’t feel like fixing that at the moment.
