9812: BHM 2012—Madison Avenue Ads.


If White advertising agencies produced self-promotional messages to celebrate Black History Month, the ads would probably look like these parodies.

  1. I have had a lot to say over the years about the deplorable situation blacks have faced in the advertising industry. But nothing I have ever said can even begin to approach the eloquence of this single page of genius. I am humbled. Well done Mr. Jive. Well done.

    My White advertising professor always told me, "just imagine if black people had their shit together, you guys would be running/dominating the industry" -

    A major lawsuit needs to happen. Its quite easy to give out scholarships & setup bootcamps,visit inner city highschools once or twice year,thats the easy part. Its also amazing PR. Give the blacks a little lollipop to suck on, then go back to business as usual. If you dont like where your sitting get from the back of the bus and move to the front!
