Nah, the contrarians in this thread saying the OP is being paranoid, are either CACs or non-black. This is not a coincidence. This is not about reaching multiple demographics. And this is not a case of more black women in high marketing positions.
I work for a top financing company. And many times, my industry and those from marketing/advertising will cross pollinate.
Yes, whilst there are black women in high positions in the advertising industry, it’s still dominated by white men, with white women second. Those two groups have the final say and most influence, especially when it comes to casting.
This is intentional and very sinister. There was a thread on AllHipHop in 2004 ABOUT THIS! Mainly asking why are they advertising black women with biracial babies heavily. Nearly 20 years AGO!!!
How is it i and others noticed this back in 2004 but somehow we’re being paranoid? Forget couples. I’ve seen way too many billboards and commercials where the black woman is a single mother. The erasure of black men in black families is insidious and calculated.
If you can’t see this, then you’re being obtuse. The dumb birds on Twitter would agree if Ebro said BM/WW. The largest growing interracial relationship are WM/AW… and yet I rarely see that pairing in commercials. They know to still show white couples in healthy settings.
