Re: PSP "White" ad by Sony...

How are people too sensitive here? I don't get what you're asking. If that billboard was here in the U.S., are you saying that there wouldn't be an uproar?

Me, I don't care. I see something sexual about it. I guess I have my own issues.....LOL.

are we talking about the same ad? i think you're referring to the one in this thread.

This is only a problem in this country.

Do you watch the news?

I think Tim from CAD made a good point:

Sorry for the long quote.

Yes it's only a problem in America, that's why racism is such a big problem among international soccer teams. That guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

I hate that we can't get past the fact that people have different skins, even today in the 21st century.

I just think everyone needs to open their minds and see that people are more than the color of their skin.

When you realize that there are people alive today who were around before the civil rights movement and before desegregation then it's actually not surprising. It's funny to me how people like to act like racism is a thing of the past when it's not at all.

Jeez, way to read:

I'm not saying racism doesn't exist elsewhere around the world, but I'm not from elsewhere around the world, so I can't vouch for the feelings of different cultures.)

Re: PSP "White" ad by Sony...

The ad is a little over the top, I can admit to that... but this is whats wrong with america. Only in the U.S. would people look at this and bring up race. When I look at it I don't see race, I just see it as a gaming ad. So it's our fault that all we care about in america is bringing up race in every damn little thing. Everyone in america wants to end all these racial issues but all we do is bring it up with EVERYTHING and make it worse.

How could you possibly see that as a gaming ad? Even without anything racial it's two women fighting/having sex/whatever on a billboard. You can't even tell what they're selling.

But it's time to move on. Most of the major players in the civil rights era are either dead or growing older. As it stands right now, "blacks" and "whites" share equal rights under the law. People can't just stay stuck in the past when they should be looking to the future.

I have no say in whether people are racist or not but to act like it doesn't exist is ignorant.

Jeez, way to read:

So how is he going to say that this is only a problem here and then say that since he doesn't know about other countries he can't talk about it? He shouldn't be comparing this country to any others at all then.

I understand that it's important to learn from the past, but at some point there has to be an attempt to make it water under the bridge and move on. It needs to come from both sides, too.

I don't see where he says it's only a problem in America.
