Am I the only person who gets absolutely annoyed at radio and television commercials that "sounds" black?
You know the ones....Regular ads on the radio or even the television; they change the tone of the way the actor or spokesperson speaks to appeal to the black race.

Do I really need to hear an ad start with "Hey girl." on a radio or TV station that has a larger black audience as opposed to "Hi Betty" on ABC or the standard stations just because I'm black? I speak English. I can read and write. I don't need shit translated.

I'm listening to HOT 105 on my way home, the Michael Baisden show by the way, and that is a whole nother topic, anywho.....so, the commercials were normal.
You know.
Geico - They talk about the money you could be saving. I already have Geico, so I feel like I'm already saving a ton of money and the googly eyes are watching me. Standard commercial.

Then Home Depot comes on. I heard this one before, but I never really listened. I'm usually talking to Tre on the way home. This time I listened.
"Hey girl," is how it starts, you probably heard it too. There are about three of them that I've heard so far. If anyone gets a chance listen to them and see if it offends you.

There are also ads in black audience magazines. Don't get me wrong. I want to see black people in advertisements for black people. Surely, a white woman can't sell me Dark & Lovely Relaxer or Twists n Locks. No. No. No. But do I need Twa'nikyshia to get on the radio or TV and be ghetto as hell to tell me that Home Depot can sell me a backyard grill.
