A black congresswoman criticizes the racially violent Pepsi ad
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has denounced the Super Bowl ad (video here) which shows a black couple having an argument, the woman throws a Pepsi can at her boyfriend, it accidentally hits a white female jogger sitting next to them on park bench who falls unconscious to the ground, and the couple run off. Lee denounces the add for demeaning African-American women. Yes, it does demean black women. But does it not also demean black men? And does it not also encourage blacks to see white women as objects to be struck down without remorse?
More on this later today. Email entry |
