All this woke crap is just getting to be too damned much.



Come on.


Some folks are just desperately pandering now.


And not one word about the product they're selling!!!!


BTW, that commercial wasn't on YouTube yet, but I found it on another website.


Tried to embed it here but no go.


So I used the Windows video capture to copy it, edited it in Windows video editor, then uploaded it to YouTube.

The only reference to any product I saw was the one Cadillac in the background.

I wonder if this audacity thing is a promotion.

That is the video I copied and posted yesterday.

The J is for Jimbo.

Same YouTube code, too.

I wonder why it works now but still won't work in my post.

Either YouTube or this forum's software is screwed up.

i just watched your link on you tube and copied the numbers in a usual 

point is the video is here now and boy were you right 

kinda a reminds me of the Vaseline lotion video for BLM we saw earlier

just to be clear this is black history month and its good that the world is changing 

but this is obviously PANDERING by a company that could give a sh*t really IMHO

Typical of a stupid Black Supericist commercial. I know it's Black History Month and all, but everyone can be great. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Native Americans, you name it. Anyone should be able to do what they want to do in life. BLM is not the President or current government, you know.

If you quote your original post, you'll see there's a lot of other code (besides the video code) between the tube tags.

Not on my computer.

The following was cut then pasted directly from my post and a quote/reply to my post....

WTxwyrw2IcM[/TUBE] 

WTxwyrw2IcM

...exact same code.

This is what I see (I omitted the end tube bracket).

[tube]</span>WTxwyrw2IcM<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">[/tube

In fact, there was some color code, which I guess is what made the youtube code above appear as blue. That code isn't showing, though.



Posted By: Jimbo
Date Posted: 23 Feb 2021 at 10:23pm
That colored text was not the original text I pasted in there.

I think that, after the text I copied from the original YouTube code didn't work several times, I pasted it into some other note pad type text editor thing-a-ma-jig, then copied and pasted it into the post again.

I tried a good dozen times to get it to work with no luck.

I know that the forum software here copies any text formatting from other websites, so all that extra crap you're seeing is the formatting from the last place I pasted it from.

But even when I had at first pasted it directly from YouTube it still wouldn't work.

What's next?  A soda company distributing an internal memo ordering their workers to "try to be less white"?

Like this?

Titiana - Coca Cola.JPG

Y'know, since Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's were forced to change their names, perhaps it's time for Coke to change theirs, too.

Quote Coca Cola was created by John Pemberton, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War who once owned slaves. He named the product, and therefore the name “Coca Cola” is forever smeared with the legacy of slavery and the Confederacy. Mr. Pemberton died in 1888, but his creation has lived on with the same name for another 130+ years.


Maybe the CEO of Coke should practice "being less White" as well...

I just read about this.

Eat sh*t, Woke---I mean, Coke.

Something just occurred to me.... isn't the word 'audacity' in the context of this commercial just a highfalutin way of saying 'uppity'?

This is just downright tacky. The "blackness", brought to you by Cadillac 
Kinda like when Soul Glo was sponsored in the late 80s, "The Soul Glo of Blackness."

Weren't blacks traditionally associated with Cadillacs? Italians, too (though we Italians weren't having them painted purple).

My dad used to call big luxury cars 'Jew Canoes'.  Yet, he was happy to drive just that kind of car.

^ Who wouldn't be? Those cars were magnificent. You just don't see that fur interior kind of luxury these days.

I am so sick and friggin' tired of the wokeness! Geeze louise, can't we just honor Black History Month the traditional way?

I guess if 2020's trend was every company and then some putting out commercials with kids waving at a teacher or grandparent on a zoom screen, staring out a window, and doctors rushing down corridors with full PPE and gowns (don't forget the 'we're in this together' and somber pianos)...

...I guess 2021 is the year of 'shame on you for being white'. Who cares if you love classic soul & R&B music, and many African-American actors and comedians like I do. You're white.

And why is BHM given the shortest month of the year? Could it be... racism?  Shocked

Maybe it's just a cause du jour, flavor of the day, fad and it will wear off before too long.

Hopefully the majority of society will soon start getting sick of it.

I've worked for Cadillac for the last 7 1/2 years and been contemplating retirement.  I saw this woke pandering a$$ commercial and gave 2 weeks notice!

Use to goof around in a 71 Opel GT.  Fun times.  On a lighter note.  Don't get too upset.  These woke black commercials have a way to go before the Add-Holes attach on to some other media frenzy.

In the '80s that was my dream car.  I'd look for one but I already have a '76 MG Midget that needs some work and an inherited '58 TR-3 that was my parents first car and is about 80% disassembled.
