completely racist
I've seen this posted elsewhere on this board and i don't feel that it was met with a proper reaction. In a commercial shown in regular rotation on network television and basic cable a young black child makes a blatantly racist comment. A black girls introduces her name as Julia, and after doing this, another black girl replies with, "isn't that a white girl's name?" Being a white female, I am very offending by this. I feel that if a young white girl made the same comment regarding a stereotypical "black girl" name, the black community would be in an uproar and the commercial would probably get pulled. People have the right to make whatever kind of movie they want and although I am offended by it, Tyler Perry has the right to include this dialogue in his film. However, the fact that it's on a frequently shown commercial is continuously offensive. Anybody offering an excuse for this is just another person not willing to admit the fact that racism against whites exists in the country.
