Cheerios Commercial Featuring Mixed Race Family Gets Racist Backlash (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | By Braden Goyette Posted: 05/31/2013 12:44 am EDT | Updated: 05/31/2013 10:36 am EDT


An adorable Cheerios commercial featuring an interracial couple and their daughter generated such a strong racist backlash on YouTube that the comments section had to be closed.

The ad had received more than 1,600 likes and more than 500 dislikes as of Thursday evening.

Prior to the closure, the comment section had been filled "with references to Nazis, 'troglodytes' and 'racial genocide,'" according to Adweek.

YouTube comment sections have a reputation for breeding racist flame wars. CNN focused on the issue earlier this year, after a panel addressing racism and race on YouTube was held at South By Southwest:

"Everyone gets hate comments on YouTube," said Andre Meadows, the creator of the Black Nerd Comedy channel. "You can make the most wonderful video in the world and you will get 'Fake!' and 'Gay!'"
But for minority creators, "when you get comments, it seems to be targeted toward race almost immediately. A lot of people get 'dumb video, stupid video' -- but with mine it immediately goes to racial slurs."

Commenters on the cereal's Facebook page also said they found the commercial "disgusting" and that it made them "want to vomit." Other hateful commenters expressed shock that a black father would stay with his family.

However, many took to Facebook to express their appreciation for Cheerios' decision to feature a mixed-race family.

"Having been mixed in the '70s, I'd like to thank everyone at Cheerios for making a commercial with an interracial couple! Going to buy boxes today! Many thanks for reflecting what my family looked like," Beschelle Lockhart posted Monday.

"Just watched your commercial with the biracial family. Beautiful. Thank you so much," Alexandra Burt wrote.

Cheerios was unfazed by the racist Internet backlash. "Consumers have responded positively to our new Cheerios ad. At Cheerios, we know there are many kinds of families and we celebrate them all," Camille Gibson, Cheerios vice president of marketing, told Gawker.
 
ok and the problem with this commercial is....? I smiled at the baby trying to take care of daddy's heart!
 
They should just leave them up and keep it moving. Youtube racism ain't nothing new. Nobody and "nobodies" give a fuck about youtube comments.
 
What is interesting is the racist view that it is not a family but a

MIXED-RACE family. As if it's not a real family but some kind of strange, hybrid, that is not normal.

It is that subtle racism that continues the stupidity, hate, and ignorance.

Awww that was adorable. A nice story to refer folx to the next time they tell you the United States is "post racial" since the election of Pres Obaama.

Oh, racists folk don't want to see that..

"A black man being loved by his family and having a "strong heart"? Oh hell no not on my watch" :smh:


:angry:


That commercial was beautiful. Reminds me exactly of my homie and his family...:)

Shit, thats probably one of the sweetest commercials Ive ever seen.

but you got to remember for white supremacists that commercial represents "genetic extermination"... As for black folks that don't like it because of the race mixing? Thats another story all together...

Racism is all about sex and genetics, when the white phallus and animus is in "control" everything is fine and dandy...:smh::smh:
 
Cheerios knew what they were doing. Nothing wrong with the commercial.

I wonder if Melo likes Cheerios? Kg gave the free advertising. I think I'm going to get some.
 
First off This commercial is adorable, my lil sweetheart made me breakfast in a similar way when she was 3.

2) before the race issue could it be possible somebody really wanted to cast the cute lil girl and without doing it this way her look wouldnt have meshed properly.

3) This racial dynamic surge aint going no where, just like the surge of white men to asian women aint going no where.

also..the adorable and cuteness of the lil girl is a factor that affects their psyche..my son is a teen and the young white girls who he attends school with adore him and other black boys and the consensus say they would love to have mixed children, and this is one red ass racist state.
