Others have already criticized the Mickey D’s commercials starring folks chatting with Ronald McDonald statues. But one spot running repeatedly during the NBA playoffs warrants a quick comment.
The spot features a Black dude expressing his confusion over all the allegedly complicated handshakes and greetings that Black men perform. OK, technically, the dude never blatantly says it’s a Black thing, but the implication is certainly there.
Can’t help but think the spot was conceived by White people. Or Wayne Brady.
(Note: The image above is not from the spot referenced here — it was the only appropriate picture MultiCultClassics could find.)
