Olympic Viewing: NBC's poorly timed commercial

NBC says no offense was intended by a poorly timed promotional ad featuring a monkey on gymnastics rings that aired on the network directly following a commentary by Bob Costas on Gabby Douglas' gold medal inspiring other African-American girls to take up the sport.

The gymnastics-themed ad for the upcoming NBC comedy "Animal Practice" was specifically timed to run late Thursday night following the women's gold medal competition. NBC said it was scheduled to run before the network knew about Costas' commentary.

"Much of America has fallen in love with Gabby Douglas," Costas said. "Also safe to say that there are some young African-American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves, 'Hey, I'd like to try that, too.'"

Then NBC switched to the commercial with the small, widely grinning monkey on the rings. Blacks in the past have been disparagingly referred to as monkeys to the point where it is considered a common slur.

"Gabby Douglas' gold medal performance last night was an historic and inspiring achievement," NBC Universal spokeswoman Liz Fischer said. "The spot promoting 'Animal Practice,' which has run three times previously, is one in a series with an Olympic theme, which have been scheduled for maximum exposure. Certainly no offense was intended."

Well I heard she signed a $90 Million dollar contract with Kellogg. So she can buy all the relaxer she needs now thank you very much.

I wonder what STYLE can a Black Person with straight hair wear their hair and it not be European? And vica versa.

A black person can have straight hair naturally (blacks from Latin America but even then it's curly) but Africans/American blacks? NO. No such thing as straight natural hair.

It's kinda messed up how they making it seem like her father is an absentee parent. They make a point of saying over and over that the mother is a single parent. Dude is in the military in a war zone. It's not like he's a deadbeat that just up and left the child. And they actually have a relationship, so he's there in her life. And why harp on the mother so much over him. Gabby doesn't even live at home, so the mother isn't doing all that much more in person raising than the father.

Not to make it a race issue, but this shit wouldn't have gone down if it was some white people. They would have made a point of interviewing the dad and portraying him as G.I. Joe. They never would have just pretended he wasn't even in the picture.

They wanna keep force feeding people the stereotype that is the black male. That's just how White America is.

So what's the deal? Why black folks act all brand new? We have always clowned folks...no matter who the fuck they are. So why some black folks acting like "oh, we can't do that now"? Why? Because some other races are watching and now we gotta "behave"?

It's no big deal...black folks will talk about her medals and her fucked up hair do. That's just how we roll, fuck what everybody else thinks. Niggas get clowned everyday b.

the self hate runs deep....

whens the last time you heard a jew come out and publicly shit on another jew in this country?

an asian?

hell even the messicans ride for each other ....

but the black folks love to be on that bullshit ....

.... similarly if you and your circle of patnas joke amongst each other ...and one of your boys jokingly says some shit to you like "fuck you nigga" while your debating or something of that nature ...i can all but guarantee your reaction to that would be much different then it would be to a random stranger telling you the same thing .....now take that reasoning and apply it to a macro level in this particular situation and i hope you'll see the point...

Nigga please

you would clown the fuck out of me for being on national television with a cross colours jumpsuit nigga

with a edge up looking like a torn sheet of paper from a spiral notebook

The point is...

Live in reality and kill that fake shit

That's just as bad as people saying "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it all"

If we lived in that world, no tweets would be up about Obamacare

Black folks are humorous people and we care about how we look. And we will quickly throw a jab out ya azz, just to fuck with you...

That's how we built...its not that serious...

 

[SlickestR]

it's not just black people, everybody does that shit, whether directly or indirectly.

Appearance is the first thing people notice before they take in anything else. Unfortunately that's just how people are. They will make a judgement based on what they see before they get to the situation or the position at hand.

Now, not all people would perceive something like that the same way. If you see you're boy win a fucking gold medal in some shit, You'd be happy as fuck and be excited, but if you're boy ain't looking right or something in his appearance is kinda off, you'd either make a comment or a mental note of it.

Does that shit take away the fact that she won a fucking gold medal, Hell no... at some point we all acknowledge that's a great feat, and that's awesome as fuck.

Im listening pimp...that's you. No doubt. But in order for us to have better relations amongst people, we must understand and know OUR people...

Can we say its uncalled for? Yes and we have. Can we say fuck all that? Yes and we have.

But if we think forward...do you really believe niggas are going to remember her just for that hair do or for winning the gold medal? I don't think so

I got faith in my people...I'm loyal to my people...I'm not going to put them on blast after they put that girl on blast...

That's not how we should do things...its basically a shrug it off situation. Laugh or not, and get back to talking about a sistah winning a gold medal...

That's how you combat that shit. Allegiance is defined not by the words but by the actions. Many won't understand that and get caught up in the bullshit...which allows fuckboys like over_kill to drop that post.

So fuck it bruh...it's not that serious. You are essentially doing what they did with her...think above and beyond the minor...

 

[jono]

What chick is going to get her hair done just to go sweat and do flips? Shit makes no sense. Waste of time and money.

Looking good losing is classic nigga mentality.

 

[blackrain]

Well I heard she signed a $90 Million dollar contract with Kellogg. So she can buy all the relaxer she needs now thank you very much.

She can make $90 million overall from her endorsments she might get, she's not getting 90 mill from one deal

 

[KinkyCurls]

gabbys father should of stayed with her mother. They are separated not together, so of course mom was getting all the praise. She is the one who sent gabby to gymnastics, sold her jewelry to try and pay off the coaches and etc. Yeah he was on duty, but it not like he raised her anyways. Mom and host family helped her become an olympic champion.

see this guy right here speaks truth. he's just speaking reality. this is actually not a race card becuase we arent up in arms about it. we just want everyone to know as a whole that this is how they feel about us.
