10158: C’MON WHITE MAN! Episode 22.

(MultiCultClassics credits ESPN’s C’MON MAN! for sparking this semi-regular blog series.)

MultiCultClassics really wanted to move on from this topic, but later felt compelled to go a final round.

Bozell Executive Creative Director Jerry Stoner just doesn’t know when to quit. At Agency Spy, former Bozell Social Influence Director Scott Bishop was roundly and rightly ripped for being a douche bag on AMC series The Pitch. As if to put an exclamation point on his questionable social media expertise, Bishop sought to engage the trolls—which is the equivalent of Karl Childers trying to hang with the Jersey Shore crew. As Bishop took further pummeling, Stoner swooped in to defend his former mate. The ECD insisted The Pitch’s editors made Bishop look completely out of character, sinisterly cutting together sound bites to misrepresent the man. Managing Principal Kim Mickelsen chimed in with backing too. Forget that Mickelsen spent most of the episode snapping at Bishop, and Stoner also criticized his coworker directly to camera. The appalling part is that Stoner was quick to declare Bishop was the victim of deliberate distortion, yet when someone suggested perhaps Jo Muse was similarly doctored, the ECD didn’t seem open to the possibility.

Additionally, at the AMC blog, Stoner “liked” comments casting Muse as a racist.

Back at MultiCultClassics, Stoner misinterpreted Muse’s position on diversity, probably in an attempt to justify his Omaha-based agency’s Whiteness.

But to top it all off, Stoner had the stones to support his perspectives by quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Wow. Just wow.

Mr. Stoner, here are two more MLK quotes to consider:

• Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

• Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
