about the ads on here ....


Is anyone else getting, what I consider racist and demeaning, dating site offering up black women and the site is called my blacky.

Wtf!! Of all the things they could have called themselves someone actually thought that this was a great idea.

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive but I find it offensive .

Hmmmm, I wonder how it’s generated because my ad most often is for RV sales or Amazon.

Nothing to with me 😶. I get them for new windows, next week's Pride tickets, jewellery and teeth procedures, never searched those either 🤷‍♀️.

I even see local ads on mine. I refreshed many times and I keep getting this blue sock ad more than any other now. Lol

Adblock.

Can I do that here? ... I mean, I dont pay attention to them usually but it just seemed such a wrong name.

reply

You can find it on google and download it. Takes like a minute.

'My Blacky?!?'
No, never...that is a jarring term

I get Russian, Chinese, Latina and Black dating sites though, which is odd as I'm not dating and have never used a dating site (I'm with the same lady for 17 years and I behave myself)
I assumed most ads were targeted by your browser history

As mrmojo said, the RV and trailer ad pops up a lot but I have been browsing a lot of RV models recently...my neighbor got one and now I'm all into them so the RV ad makes sense...

Sorry, I'm not much help

I've never used a dating site either, or looked one up.
I get that it's for people looking specifically for black women but That name just bothers me.

My best friend is mixed race and she's not impressed either. And my other half said he'd knock me out (jokingly) if I referred to him as 'my blacky'

It is a very derogatory name to call anyone, let alone a romantic partner!

I suppose the ads here are just random, I get ones for lady shoes and weird shows I'll never watch, but whatever keeps the site running👍
