Advertising’s image of women. Watch this and get your mind blown.
This needs to stop.
I am not female but I really don’t think that matters. EVERYONE needs to see this.
Truth
she didn’t touch on how all of the media images are white.
white white snow white wonder bread Colgate with bleach
WHITE
what does that do to women of color if the ideal we are shown since birth is white women being the ideal? I will continue to ask and demand it be answered
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ummmm okay so we’re supposed to want black snow, black bread and black toothpaste?
I’m not trying to sound racist, maybe I’m sounding racist anyway, but the examples you gave were horrible.
As far as I know, clean snow is white.
Dirty snow is dark.
White bread is just that, white.
Sure, wheat bread is brown and that’s cool and it’s healthier for you.
And toothpaste with bleach is white because white teeth are supposedly healthier.
The examples you gave have nothing to do with white women as being more ideal.
I don’t know statistics, but there’s probably way more white models.
Use that as your example because that implies that white women are more ideal than bread, snow and toothpaste being white.I wish “stupid shit white people say” still existed cause I got a winner…
wow.
WOW.

There are now more Americans in jail than were in Stalin’s Gulag Archipelago
May 9, 2013There are now more Americans in jail — 6 million — than there were in Stalin’s Gulag, reports Fareed Zakaria, in a column called “Incarceration Nation.”
And it’s not just a relative population thing.
The U.S. has 760 prisoners per 100,000 citizens. How does that compare to other countries?
It’s 7-10X as high:
- Japan has 63 per 100,000,
- Germany has 90 per 100,000
- France has 96 per 100,000
- South Korea has 97 per 100,000
- Britain has 153 per 100,000
And it’s a rapidly exaggerating trend: In 1980, the U.S. only had 150 prisoners per 100,000 citizens. More than half of America’s 6 million prisoners are in jail for drug convictions, with 80% of those in jail for “possession.”
