BLACK TO THE BACK

Its funny how so many can quickly dismiss blatant racism and chalk in up as some sort of thoughtless mistake. Beyond the racist act of omitting the black couple, what about the act of putting the only couple of color out of four diminished and in the background. This is an old trend and it tells me that the advertisers are afraid of loosing revenue from one segment of the population (by offending them with viewing another culture of people considered to be inferior in an equal setting), yet secured that offending another segment will be tolerated and/or overlooked. The not so recent pratices of charging someone with playing the race card whenever a person of color cries foul to blatant or hidden racist acts is relied upon to make people hesitant of confronting these acts. No different than claming that a Jew is too sensitive when he precieves and confronts an anti semitic statement or act. As long as people of conscience continue to rush to the defense of the people who engage in these acts and statement, perpetrators will continue to have cover and will not hesitate to repeat them.
