I think I just saw the most racist commercial ever.

[K.C.]

On TBS.

So it starts in this black neigherborhood, with a bunch of black kids playing midnight basketball or something on a court.

Then all of a sudden, the giant red Kool-Aid man comes out of nowhere, one of the black kids pass him the ball and he passes to another kid who dunks for the win.

Then all the black kids, and the fans who are watching (also all black) mob the Kool-Aid thing on the court and jump up and down with it screaming 'Kool-Aid!' 'Kool-Aid!' 'Kool-Aid!'

I haven't seen a Kool-Aid commercial in like a decade...I didn't even really know it was still around.

Just thought it was odd, considering the it's one of the stereotypes Earl's freaked out about on the show before.

On "Good Times" J.J. was always talking about Kool-Aid being the preferd drink for him and his family. So bring it up with Norman Lear, he started that sterotype.

Yeah, it happens to be true. For whatever reason, they really seem to enjoy basketball a lot.

[K.C.]

Well...Kool-Aid is less thirst quenching. In fact, if you drink enough at one time, you melt like that Nazi guy at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

And I'm pretty sure it's made with 30% cancer.

[epo]

...?

Where are all the white women at?

Good point Chris. To be fair, I didn't give a context for the ad.

Harold Ford was a young, fairly attractive black congressman from Tennessee. The ad used the traditional "busty blonde woman" lusting after the black man stereotype. This was meant to scare white males into thinking that Harold Ford was coming after their wives, girlfriends or daughters.

The result worked as Ford lost his Senate race to Bob Corker by less than 3%.

Note: Ford was winning in the polls before the ad. Corker himself was so appalled that he asked the RNC to pull it, but they didn't.

It would be racist if it was purple kool-aid. It was red. Everyone knows red is just delicious, who can blame them. It would be really racist if it was new licorice cool aid.

Shame, no love for granulated sugar or food coloring anywhere. Kool aid is a daily supplement for some if not all of those fruits.

koolaid is racist because it hates white people....
the reason is because it helps black people get bigger muscles...
a sugar punch right before some creatine intake boasts the muscle size...
then on top of that lets not forget the massive amounts of protein intake within 30 mins of a ruff pumped up game of basketball due to fried chicken
next thing u know they will be eating their collard greens to keep their immunity levels up....covered in salt for the water retention to make them look larger and more intimidating...this is a horrible cycle...im the only one who sees it i think

dont u see how kool-aid is just trying to help black people get bigger and stronger then white people so that they can kill the whites....koolaid hates hispanics too probably

but i like hamburgers better then hotdogs but i like the shape of hotdogs better so can we be hamburgers but in the shape of hotdogs...?
