I don't know. Do you really think that
people will look at an ad with Dallas Clark getting hit really hard by
two other NFL players and say "Wow, Dallas Clark is a crappy
player!"?
I don't think Dallas Clark is a poor player, but I think the ad implies a
few things. First, blacks get off on the humiliation of whites. Look
how much fun it is to cream the white guy. The laughter of a group
of blacks would be less likely if Clark made a "move" to escape from
the defenders. Second, The laughter it's self implies an inferiority to
the victors of the play. Having played other versions of the game my
self, I can say that the "hit" on the ad was not very spectacular. The
enjoyment of the players came completely from the racial dynamic of
the play.
The display of dominance and the humiliation of whites in this ad is
pretty clear. I believe the ad was made for blacks, I think that they
probably buy more NFL videogames than whites. Why not give them
what they want?
The ad is offensive to me for two reasons. The first is because I
acknowledge the caste system and I am sick of the message that
whites are undeserving of the "skill positions". I believe this ad
reinforces this message. Second, you could NEVER put a black in a
loosing situation if it were a matter of intelligence. The double
standard makes me puke.
The Tomlenson ad was meant to be cute. If it were a black boy and
Tom Brady, I would see it the same way. The black guy in the
Snickers commercial only looks goofy if you believe that all blacks
are "cool".
Imagine that, a well-groomed black with the ability
to interact civilly and show an understanding of something other
than hip-hop. What a goof!
