I'M PLAYING THE RACE CARD. CALL MY BLUFF.
I'm speaking of, as you see above, ↑this↑ fucking ridiculous Frosted Flakes commercial. Mysteriously, the video of the commercial is nowhere to be found on the internet. Kellogg's obviously did this on purpose, because the comments section would be full of people like me calling them out on their bullshit. Go ahead. Try to find it on YouTube if you have time waste. I'll wait...
If you've seen the commercial (which, surprise, comes on like 14 times during NBA and March Madness games), then you'll follow along just fine. If you haven't seen it, I'll do my best to describe it to you as I go. Grab a sandwich, because I'm about to do some preaching:
1) THE BOX - What the fuck? If you have siblings or children of your own, you know exactly how much damn cereal is in the damn cereal box as soon as you pick it up off the shelf. And yet the dad in this commercial doesn't realize that there's less than half a bowl's worth of cereal in the box before he starts pouring it. WTF? Stupid.
2) THE STORE - The black man and his daughter obviously live in a nice neighborhood, so one would think that there would be a grocery store nearby. But even though they live in a beautiful house, they're obviously too broke to afford a $2 box of cereal so half a bowl is all that anyone is going to eat this morning.
And just when you think that maybe the reason why they didn't go to the store was because they didn't have time to do so...
4) TONY THE TIGER - Right on schedule, our favorite cartoon tiger shows up in the backyard, keeping score as dad and daughter play a game of H.O.R.S.E. by the garage.
First of all, let's just ignore the fact that a talking, animated, ferocious carnivore just casually shows up to their house unannounced. It's television, so rational rules don't apply. But damn man, why the fuck doesn't Tony walk around with a spare box of Frosted Flakes? I mean, he's always talking about that delicious shit, but he doesn't ever have the product handy? Stupid.
5) DOMINATION - As if the young black father hasn't been portrayed as being ghetto enough, he proceeds to BUST HIS DAUGHTER'S ASS in basketball. Hittin' backwards shots and shit... come on now.
Over half a bowl of cereal? Give me a fucking break.
6) HYGIENE - If you've ever played basketball outdoors, you know that it only takes a couple of dribbles before your hands are completely covered in dust. Everybody knows that. But these apparently nasty-ass black people come back in the house and go straight back to the kitchen table. If you watch the commercial closely, you'll see that the girl still has the ball in her hands when she sits down. So it's not enough that us blacks play basketball to resolve all of our disagreements, but we also don't wash our hands? Thanks, Kellogg's.
7) THE COMPROMISE - The selfish negro baby-daddy sits down at the table with FULL intentions of eating his victory half-bowl of Frosted Flakes until his hungry, growing daughter pushes her bowl towards him. Obviously broke and unable to do anything other than play basketball, the father and daughter share their food. Daddy slides about 14 flakes into his daughter's bowl, leaving about 8 or 9 flakes for himself. Problem solved. Part of a balanced breakfast my ass...
8) THE FIST BUMP - And to add insult to injury, Kellogg's makes the father and daughter do some stupid blow-up fist bump bullshit. In case y'all didn't know: BLACK PEOPLE DON'T ACT LIKE THAT!
We don't go play fucking basketball before eating breakfast, we don't share a baby-sized portion of food, and we damn sure don't do baseball handshakes at the kitchen table while Tony the Tiger looks on in the background talking 'bout, "They'rrrrrrre Grrrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!"
Racism still exists. Don't let it consume your kids. I'll leave you with a little wisdom from Jackie Moon:
Wow, dude your an idiot.

DeleteSad that some people look for racism anywhere and everywhere. I believe it is the undercover bigots that invent racism even when it isn't there. Racists believe everyone thinks like they do. The statements by the op are rediculous IMO.
DeleteAnd I can spell ridiculous, that was an error, just in case anyone wants to point it IUG.
DeleteDid anyone notice that the first thing the father says was "From the crack..."? I think that also belongs on this list! Although I don't think it's really racism, it made me laugh. Also when the daughter says "Daaaad....", I saw a lot of funny sexual innuendos in this commercial.

Really...spelling corrections notwithstanding, the only things I can take away from this are that yes, some angry people will parse every word, look and deed of everything around them to find proof that their anger is justifiable, and that sometimes, it's just a commercial, kid. Did I get all the grammar correct?
