Homosexuals And Public Show Of Affection

I can’t speak for Ron but I don’t think interracial marriages are the issue more than the noticeable shift in the way advertisers are attempting to show that they are socially unbiased in the department of race and gender.

Advertisers as well as tv series programs are trying to widen their target audience to be that which displays a more socially diverse grouping whilst exiling straight male and female couples of the same race or rather, that which used to be the norm.
I believe that the next step will no doubt be that the trans community will be heavily represented in the ads probably sooner than later so companies can attempt to glean more of that grouping.

It’s a game that producers play in order to prove how diverse that the companies they represent are but it’s a hazardous game.
Hazardous because when advertisers focus on who is representing a product more than what the product is especially when the who has nothing to do with the what, it’s the company that is being represented that will lose out.

 

Let me give you a couple of "What If's."

1. Say for example you have a new neighbor. You get to know the person, like him (or her), hang out together. Later you somehow find out the person's spouse is a different race. Would you no longer like or hang out with the person?

2. I don't know if you have kids or not, but just say what-if. You have a teenage son or daughter, and the kid introduces you to a person he or she has started dating. The kid seems very nice- respectful, etc.- and you like the kid very much. What if you later learned your teen's boyfriend or girlfriend is biracial- would you want your kid to stop dating the person, forbid marriage, etc.?

One point in this line of questioning is race isn't always apparent. So I'm wondering if your view of a person would change if it initially seemed a person was White but you later learned otherwise.
(unless you ask everybody you meet what race they are, which would seem kinda odd but I wouldn't doubt if some people do it.)

 

You may know the person who posted it, and I don't, but 'trying to turn the world tan' is a white supremacist remark.

 

Uh…..you might wish to re-read what Ron wrote exactly the way he wrote it. Merely indicating that more interracial relationships complete with their children appear on commercials does not in any way indicate that someone is a white supremacist.
To be sure, I know that the caucasian race will be a minority in the U.S. in the not so distant future but that statement doesn’t make me a white supremacist. It makes me observant and fairly well educated.

Good heavens, if every time when someone makes an observation that has race involved with it that he or she has to watch out in case the PC police are around then we might as well limit our conversation to Hi…..and ….bye.
It’s McCarthyism all over again. Better watch out, there’s a communist or worse, a white supremacist under every bush.

And just a Note: It wasn’t a white supremacist I first heard who said to Breed White People out of existence. It was a leader with the Black Panthers.
The Next person I heard say it over the airwaves was an African American Muslim Imam.

 

I would have added- but it wasn't in his topic- I have just as much negativity toward Black supremacists as White ones. Anyone who believes their race is better than others, and wants separatism, is ignorant.

 

In truth, the Topic is about public displays of homosexuality but was somehow shifted to race.
That said, I suppose since homosexuality exists in all of the races and is highly exposed in all walks of life nowadays including televised commercials, by a stretch, there might be some small merit in continuing on this course.

Also, the word “ignorant” only means that someone is lacking in knowledge and in as much as no one has all of the answers, we are all ignorant of something and probably, many “somethings”
Now, should an individual be ignorant of a fact and be presented with a fact but refuses to learn, then there are other words far more accurate when describing said individual.

 

I was hunting for a book I felt would be interesting and wanted to order. I found it. The lowest price I could find was $149. Not in this life.

Fortunately I found an audio interview with the author, E. Michael Jones, whom I would characterize as a Catholic social critic. That's not fully accurate but it's brief. In the interview Jones gives a good synopsis of his book which covers relevatory explanations of several topics, including the one from which I drew this thread title.

To pique your interest further Jones speaks of Frankenstein, Dracula, slasher movies and Alien, all of which he ties convincingly to social revolution and sex. As an aside he used a word I'd never heard before - valorization, which means the effort to increase the value of either a commodity or concept in the popular mind.



The book is The Rise Of The Horror Genre. The book is crazy expensive. The audio is free.

 

OK. Now explain why the homosexual has become the hero. I don't want to spend $149 or listen to a 43 minute video.

 

You'll get the gist of his premise in the first few minutes. If you're too impatient for that I can't help you.

 

He/She is doing what the sign says. Get an adult to explain that to you.

 

Well, I listened to it, and never did hear how the homo became the hero.

Allot of talk about horror movies / slasher movies, but no answer to the question posed in the thread heading ?

 

LOL - TV ads. "Keep loving yourself, Keep being who you are. Talk to your doctor about Bictarvy."
