Does this commercial contain racist undertones?

Agree. What do you see OP?

 

[easy_b]

single mom........kind of but there are a lot more white single moms

Dad could have been at work. This one is a reach.

Of cause it is. Why? Because the context is the global, national and local system of racism/white supremacy. It has less to do with eating a chicken pie but more to do with the power relation between white people and non-white people that exists. That power relation dictates and/or dominates everything. Including a black couple taking a walk in the park eating ice cream.

I don't see the problem.

 

[younggiftedandblack]

I'm more offended they trying to show off those weak-ass deflated pot pies.

How you know she is single ? Maybe father is deployed ?

Seems like a reach or some hypersensitivity.

 

[Pre1992]

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with the commercial. But those pot pies are fa sho discriminatory against deliciousness.

You're missing black dad for one thing

 

[Drayonis]

Honestly the sell was the single mother. It's subtle but there. Commercials are there to get you to buy and this one was directed at mothers (who are mostly single).

This............Couldn't stand pot pies as a kid

I feel you I miss you so he could be deployed... But you should pay attention most commercial that feature black family its a mixed family or one with the father is not present.... and tied to chicken some how lol.

 

[Dota]

Let me take a guess, a black mom who feeds her child a shitty microwave meal vs. cooking?

 

[lazarus]

reach

 

[Z MONSTER]

They are pushing that sodium filled garbage on black people. It reminds me of that commercial where a brother was saying Saturn cars were good cars, knowing that they stopped making them, and trying to dump them on us.

shit after seeing that stars wars/campbell soup commercial w/ the 2 dads I'm not even fazed by this

 

[jack walsh13]

Find one...

Now had this been a black woman you would have said she was cooning. I don't see a crakka father in here. Just stop.

I don't get the same vibe from that one.
Light, funny themed, cute commercial.
It's just something about the one with the black mom and her son. It has layers.

But you know you would have called her a coon if she was black right?

 

[three-fifths]

or

daddy could be out in the streets pollinating and pimping.

[Hotlantan]

OP really went ballistic seeing this!

 

[J.E.T.S]

They think this is funny?.. I'm mad just watching this shit

I just wanna know, why they have to leave out a father fiqure......

but I get it, they make turkey pot pies also..

so why did they specifically choose the chicken, I aint sayin we dont eat chicken

Im sayin cacs have a weird subliminal sense of humour, they like to disguise and throw

in our face...

I mean I dont eat chicken or no meat.... but I do love watermelon and I dont give a fuck who

cracks jokes about it.... as long as its organic watermelon with the black seeds....

aint no amount of jokes can keep me, from something I love and a healthy digestive

system to boot...

but they couldve used this.....

or this

or this

but all this shit is really does is clog your arteries, and digestive

system....

especially eating this crap first thing in the morning...

black folks need a diet of mostly green leafy veggies

and fruits and five percent of that crap...

too many of us do the opposite, we eat 95 percent of that crap

and five percent green and leafy veggies, then wonder why

we lead the world in heart disease, and diabetes...

Wouldnt call it racist. Another seemingly single black mother does raise an eyebrow though. A father being at work, or with the boys is the case in real life. But commercials arent really going to factor that in. Its just a single mother, feeding her kid shit out of a box instead of something she made with love and effort......... You know what... Fuck that shit!!! It is a little racist!!!
