Default NBC airs vulgar, despicable racist advertisement

NBC has no plausible deniability here. If it was live, well ok that's one thing. But the whole event took place hours before it was brought to air.

This is how NBC wrapped up their coverage of Gabby Douglas' gold medal victory in gymnastics. It's pretty obvious how the liberals at NBC view young African-American females.

Which led immediately into......

I grew up in a Black/White neighborhood, every Black person I knew at one time or another always used to say "that they never trusted a do-gooder or a person who they knew was pandering to them" I am still in touch with three of them, we were little kids together, one of them just passed away, he was AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK SECRET SERVICE AGENT, he grew up on Sidney & Allston streets in Cambridge Mass.

NBC IS CHOCK FULL OF PHONY'S when Katie Couric was with them she told a story of how she cried when she learned that there were people in her family that "Owned Slaves" Black People all across America rolled their eyes.

Someone should have picked up on that. Of course, in today's uber PC, everything is an insult, wussified society, stupid mistakes instantly become scandalous.

It was all over CNN yesterday.

Clearly a mistake.

Couldn't of happened to a finer bunch of people.

This time there won't be any demands for heads to roll or people to be fired. And if there were it would get washed away quickly and those responsible would be back in no time.

I always thought that Racism only existed in America's South and among Right Wing Republicans, this one is on the other side of the Ocean--

I hope that it was purely a stupid mistake by NBC and not something untoward to a young woman who makes our entire nation proud, like all of the Olympic champions..... (even the ones whose mothers say that they only have time for "one night stands" not girlfriends...)

I personally don't see how that was racist. Monkeys exist in this world, so do black people. If black people came from monkeys then so did white people. People need to stop trying to squeeze racism out of every situation.

I did read one post after the article that made me chuckle:
"why wasn't anyone offended when they had a Ritz Cracker Commercial after Michael Phelps won his Gold medal?" Haha, good point.

Yes ... they ran the dog swimming last night ... a light colored lab I think ...
The swimmers were white so hopefully they were not offended. Seriously ... it didn't look good but I am sure it was a mistake.

Racism in this case will be if Gabby does not receive the endorsements that a USA white gymnast would have received if they won the gold medal. So we'll see how it goes ... she's a cute and bubbly kid - I hope she gets all the endorsements she deserves. If she doesn't then shame on the advertisers.

One more thing I'd like to say. I was saying to my wife I remember watching the Olympics 30+ years ago and other countries athletes looked like other countries athletes. Watching the Olympics now --- except for the language differences all the other countries look like us - and we look like them. Amazing what the information age has done to make the world seem like a much smaller and recognizable place.
