12524: BHM 2015—Toyota.

Well, at least Toyota didn’t salute Black History Month with B.B. King on a slave plantation.

Is there some rule that BHM ads have to me made with the cheapest generic photos, writing and creativity possible?

Don't we deserve more?

Tell me that's not a typo/error in the last sentence of copy.

Because if Toyota's idea of Black History Month is letting white agencies film B.B. King King ads on a slave plantation, and giving cheap halfassed ads like this one in Ebony the shaft and no once over, that's just heartbreaking.

To Ugjustug:

Ha! Wouldn’t be surprised if the photo of Garcia is just a stock image too.

To Anonymous:

Hell, the comma in the headline is questionable too.
