Interracial commercials. Wonderful!

Have you noticed how many commercials have interracial couples who are bbfs or married?

Whenever I turn on the TV, I see these commercials. And, thankfully, decent society is finally saying "fuck you" to America's bigots.

Madison Ave, NBC, ABC, CBS and many of the other cable stations are waking up to the fact that the majority of Americans are not racists/haters/fools.

These great commercials show couples in parks, restaurants, homes, and everyplace else you'd find normal people doing normal things.

I don't know if these commercials are shown everywhere. But they are being shown here in southeast FL (Democrat land).

Maybe this is a for-profit commercial decision or not. The reason really doesn't matter. Those commercials are on the air. And, intended or not, they're fighting American racism. Over time, they will become so normalized that no one will even have to comment on them. (And racists will be seen as lepers.)

But at this particular moment, it's wonderful to see them.

each and every one of them finally "get it." Finally understand. Finally overcome what they've been told their whole lives. Finally become decent.

Maybe I'm asking for a lot of them. But, what the hell. I can hope.
