black folks enjoy the same stuff you claim is racist stereotyping. burger king having black folks dance and rap, the bulk of black america sees no problem with it, when every television show has us dancing and entertaining, the bulk of black folks have no problem with it...sure, we might look @ it and say shit like "oh! they got us cooning! oh! they are stereotyping!" but thats not how your average everyday black person thinks...

and on the flipside, look @ what happened to "City of Angels" back in 2000. a serious black hospital drama that couldnt compete with the tom niggery on UPN and WB. black folks flocked to go see "mad black woman" and "SOUL PLANE" while mario van peebles "Badaaaaaaass" damn near went straight to video...you are holding black people to too high a set of standards man. its 2005, have you ever slowed up long enough to ask if black folks ENJOY these stereotypes? i know we do. to market something to black folks u have to ghetto-ize it, throw some hip hop flava up in dea', have em shakin' and gettin' krunk in the shows/commercials, have a black woman shake her fat ass in the twix commercial, have some negroes in braids using ebonics in a mcdonalds commercial...IT WORKS!!
