Go and research. White people don't experience racism. Check your privilege. Toodlepip.

If you assert something is something you should be able to back that assertion.
Like why is promo shot off porn company Blacked racist here

QueenCamilla · 27/11/2024 16:36

I don't see a race issue here.
I see a porn reference used to promote wine and it disgusts me. It's nor clever, nor funny.
I'm not anti-porn but whoever created this promo is a nasty simpleton. The only excuse is, if they're 17 and pre-occupied with their dick. In that case, their mum&dad should get them off the business account and review ways to earn pocket money.

@LoveIsLikeAFartIfYouHaveToPushItsUsuallyShit The image is racist. If you cannot see the racism then you don't understand it.
Are you white?

@LoveIsLikeAFartIfYouHaveToPushItsUsuallyShit Nah, I'm not explaining racism to people. Are you white by any chance? Research it yourself.

Except that I did nkt ask you to explain racism, did I. I asked what exactly is racisy on that image.

The context makes it even worse. She left her kid with her bf while she made porn, and he beat the child to death.

oh god I really wish you hadn't provided this context.

Does anybody have a time machine I need to go back 5 min in my life and not see this

If it needs explaining to you then you clearly don't understand racism and how impacted black people are by it. I suggest researching racism.

No, I do not understand how promoshot of pron made by Blacked is racist here, no.

Instead of being like this you could simply explain it.

@Monstersare why not report to Advertising Standards Authority?

Well no because white people aren't victims of racism.

WillimNot · 27/11/2024 16:03

Clearly thought they were being humourous but ends up coming up as racist and sexist.
I do hope you've reported to ASA?
