Is this Idris Elba commercial an attempt to emasculate the black male?

He's not doing anything feminine, but the song, and voice are :dame:

It was directed by Spike Jonze.

They showed a black man as a chef, an astronaut, a boxer, a pilot, etc, and even threw in a black woman with natural hair, yet folks stuck on a voice.

I can't with you nikkas :dead:

The girl voice was a bad call, and should not be overlooked, but it is a good commercial overall

The lyrics are "When I was just a little girl" and "will I be pretty".

:rudy:
And? that's not what emasculation is. At no point did I see manhood diminished, neither was this song made for the video I'm pretty sure it called Kay Sera Sera and is older than your grandmother. Just because he is mimicking a lil girl singing a song? Y'all just looking for reasons to be miserable.

The Gilette commercial was 100% on a message of emasculation. This isn't it. If the visuals matched the lyrics you would have a point.

I didn't see a man in a dress or any compromising situations. fake outrage.
