The KGB is racist, is it really any different?

So there is big talk on the twitter that the new KGB ad is racist. If you don’t know KGB is a new service (not a new idea) that you can text in your question and they reply back to you instantly with an answer. I don’t think its racist so much as stereotypically insensitive.

This morning on Twitter @tweetmeblack tweeted the following:
New KGB ads turn to Black stereotypes…http://bit.ly/sMa10 << All the head popping and finger snapping…So WACK! (via @MappingtheCity)

My tweetback was as follows:
hmm did they use white people in black face to do these racist ads? I’m sure no self respecting black person would do it.

Of course I was being facetious, I’m never surprised to see how easily a white marketing company can find someone to walk on and even sometimes cross the line of cultural deconstruction and degradation, apparently it only take a couple bucks to completely sell your people out.

I wish more people had a stronger sense of being and responsibility for their people and themselves, I for one could not do anything that I believe was morally objectionable and detrimental to not just a people but to all humankind.
