Is it just me or do these commercials reinforce racial stereotypes? In the Hyper-Racialized Age of Obama why aren’t these ads denounced as racist?

Pepsi pulled this ad:
Only a racist would notice these things and point them out in public. Maybe you should begin wearing a do-rag to cleanse your point of view.
well apparently Bloomberg thinks DeBlasio is racist for highlighting his African American wife and their biracial children in their ads.

di blasio’s commercials are racist classist and really sucky.
off topic all ready
stole this from no quarter. listen to john kerry testify about the Viet Nam war especially at the 4:00 mark where he says he personally raped for pleasure
Back when MadTV was on the FOX network, they did a lot of bits in 2004 with John Kerry and George Bush around election time. One of the recurring themes was Kerry’s experience with Alain women.
the Kerry video was apparently doctored (no quarter took it down).
I found the k-mart ads very offensive. aside from race, why would glorify children not speaking proper english. Aren’t we supposed to teach them how to speak correctly
Honk! I saw the playground Kmart ad on tv and hated it.
The eggo ad is cute.
How come the kid has to sing and dance to a rap song that came out when his mother was a child?
Because it took them that long to sell/ buy the rights to it , to use it to sell things . /snark
OT- Nader’s a little ticked with Obama:

here’s part of it:
“Sir William Harcourt [the British parliamentarian who argued against British intervention in our Civil War (which cost 750,000 American lives)]: ‘We are asked to go we know not whither, in order to do we know not what.’””
OT again- noquarter posted a very informative piece about Israeli and Saudi motives:

it is getting really weird in the military
Weasel Zippers:
Wonder if Al Sharpton adds notches for every person killed due to his hate speech and inciting to violence.
This is so incredibly sad. But it shouldn’t be surprising when the MSM equates violent attacks with civil rights. African Americans have basically been told that when a white (or Hispanic) person fights back, it’s a violation of their civil rights. Sick, sick, sick, but totally predictable.
Those ads are “targeted marketing ads” which is completely different , completely and totally different than being racist and or profiling , because of , well just because … they said so .
yeah…
I dunno, the waffle commercial is, IMO, cute. Those kids are adorable. The Kmart ads, well, they’re a bit more questionable. But apparently, if the little gangstas look like Urkel (or Kid from Kid ‘n Play), it’s alright.
