Tech Ad messages
WTF, advertisers? I mean, if it’s not already hard for people to respect Black Professionals in the technology field, you have to go and put the smackdown on the images I’m starting to see of Blacks in tech ads, and other ads where stereotypically black people don’t ‘fit in’. Other people have great stereotypes like Jews are lawyers, doctors, dentists… Indians and other Asians are doctors, dentists and tech people… but the black stereotype? Sports Athletes, gangstas and rappers… uhhh So when you take into account all the ads that you’re now seeing, in efforts to show that companies see people of color as more than just gangters in movies and fools who soak scantly clad women in Moet (although Donald Trump also is known to do this), could they REALLY be helping when all I’m seeing are a bunch of ads that make that person of color look so OUT of place that it’s like “WTF IS HE DOING THERE???!!” LoL Maybe I’m programmed incorrectly and tied to the stereotypical views too, but I’ve seen a string of ads that make me scratch my head at excactly what the fuck are these black people DOING in these ads that are trying to break the boundaries. For example… here is the classic pose of a computer geek who’s confident and no one is taking his shit. It’s the tech infamous “NORTON POSE” 
made famous by Computer Genius, PETER NORTON who owns Symantec Corp. He set the standard for confident comptuer geeks posing in ads. He gave geeks confidence and ever since, if you want to look like a big dog in the computer field, you had to pose crossing your arms! This is a known computer image! Women even pose on the covers with the Norton Pose 
.
So here is the typical tech ad, utilizing the Norton Cross and it features an Asian (who else… and yes India is in Asia go read a book you dumb ass). Now look at the message in his picture. First, he’s a lighter skinned Asian, and he has a modern haircut and not a funny looking mustach, he’s not the bad stereotype. Next, he’s crossing his arms and kind of beginning a smirk, as you look at the title “INDIAN WORKERS DON’T WANT US JOB”. Yes, the message is I don’t need your damn USA crappy jobs! lol BOLD! So the picture is standoffish, showing power crossing his arms, arrogance, confidence… He can stay in India and get paid, FUCK the U.S. is what that picture says! Pure confidence. Now look at the string of ads featuring black guys… you’ll notice a completely different tone… like the infamous one here, that I call:
“Oh shit! who dat’? “
LOL Discover Innovation… what’s so innovating? You have a black guy in an ad and he’s looking like ‘wtf am I doing here in a server room?’ or looking like he’s about to get caught stealing some shit? lol I’ve seen a gang of shots like this. lol I even saw one where it was suggesting that the computer program was so easy to install and fix problems (in 1 picture that the black guy was in), that in the second picture he has time to go play basketball in the park! lol That’s when I started paying attention to blacks in tech ads. The shit is funny! Why couldn’t he be CONFIDENT like the other races! And why is he racing some so he can go play basketball with the homies? lol Man… it’s a C.O.N. -spiracy! lol
Here…
Here is an advertisment for a software program that monitors what anyone is doing to your network. You have a black guy, dressed in black, and smiling in a server room, in the dark… hmmm Makes you question, “just what are the black people in my company doing? Why.. I didn’t see Leshawn come back from lunch yet and it’s over 2 hours! I know… He must be in the server room, in the dark, dressed in black, trying to steal company data just like this guy in the ad! I HAVE to buy this, I don’t trust Leshawn Jenkins!” lol Seriously, what the hell is this guy doing in the ad? This product is a software product that monitors and you can’t go to a server and check the logs by looking at it’s physical! You have to log into a program on a computer to see, it has NOTHING to do with this black criminal who’s stealing data and laughing about it. Isn’t he breaking into your server room? Isn’t he smiling and stealing something secretly? Doing something that you don’t know? It looks to me like he’s up to no good and this picture will make you question your black employees! lol
