The new MJB makes more money in a 30 second commercial piece than your whole extended family will make this entire year.

The new MJB is still real, shes just paid and making moves, don't hate her for playing the game of life better than you or anyone you know.
Um, what?

Interesting how fast food places choose their locations. Back when Kentucky Fried Chicken opened in my town it was located fairly close to the black neighborhood. The first McDonald's opened between the high school and the college. Stereotyping what people like must be profitable.

Much adi about nothing. This is just about special interest groups that do not represent the majority of AAs in this country. None of my Mexican friends were offended about the chihuahua in the Taco Bell commercial a few years back either. Someone had to make a buck, so they made it an issue. (yawn)

BK should have played it safe and had her promote burgers or something. There was no outrage when Darius Rucker was promoting burgers!

Of course. Unless someone is just trying to be malicious in their stereotyping, i couldn't care less about it. My white buddies at my job always tease me about my love of Fried Chicken and Watermelon....among other so called "black foods" that i can't get enough of. I openly admit my taste for soul foods or black foods...for a lack of a better term.

My problem is as i said, if you're trying to be cute with the stereotyping. Then, we've got a serious problem.
