The ad, titled “The Talk,” shows scenes of black parents, spanning generations, telling their kids about how the system is stacked against them, how racist white people are and teaching them to fear the police.
I watched that video. And that is not at all what I got from it. Man, it's a real look at the real conversations parents need to have with their kids, period. I don't think that was teaching fear or discrimination. That is making kids aware of the situation. The only thing I'd call racist about it was the closing banner. It doesn't matter what color you are.
Flip the races in the video and would you feel the same way? Let's say a white parent warning their kid about black people. I'm pretty sure you'd think it was wrong, despite the fact there could be some truth behind it. I know first hand about white kids being jumped and beaten for being white and many other examples. I would still think it would be inflammatory to have a commercial that generalizes and blames an entire race of people due to the actions of some.
