To white men...Do you think the media is making you look soft and weak?

That's a bit racist. Don't you think? Just cause they have gangster black guys on TV doesn't make me think all black guys are gangsters.

As a straight white cis het man, YES, I do. And for the most part, we are. With the white male role models presented to us, and a leisure time spent on TV and video games, it's become much more acceptable, and in in some cases expected, for white men to grow up fat, physically weak, and socially submissive. From my childhood, apart from Schwarzenegger, I can't think of any white role models who promoted being strong, and he was mostly about being aesthetic. Jack Lalanne was both tiny, and already really old, and all of my phys ed teachers were at least a little overweight. Socially, I've always been advised to be polite and courteous, and to apologize for everything. "Always say you're sorry" is the first advice nearly every ballroom dance teacher gave at my university. That does not tend to make a strong, dominant male. It amazes me now, how many white men are self-apologetic, and tiny and undermuscled, or grossly overweight, while it seems like every black man I see is buff, cut, and confident. That's probably at least part of why so many white girls date them. I know that the white woman who hates her fat husband and wants black d*ck is a stereotype in various media, but in Portland, it feels like it's been months since I've seen a white girl actually dating a white man. I already know I'm racist, but as Chesty Puller suggested, if we stay soft as we are, others will take our women and breed a hardier race, and look what's happened to the american population since his time.

It's not racist for noticing something in the media, when will you people learn what racism is.

I just watched a few commercials on youtube. it is showing whites as being very dumb (like the cave man commercial) or wimps, weak, etc.

but the media is jooish owned I think that is how they like showing white men.

and showing a black woman with her own hair, wow you people can really complain about nothing what is wrong with you must you see only straightened hair and weaves on a black woman, is natural hair so bad they can't show a woman with her own hair anymore. For me that was he only good thing about the commercial, natural instead of fake.

well i am a white girl... yeah i notice that. but i mean idk if it is really untrue for most white men. i don't think it is cause they are white i think it is because if you are white you are a lot more likely to be growing up in a place that's rolling in money and in that kind of environment you are expected to act a certain way. A black dude who grew up in a similar place is more likely to act the way you see those white guys acting in the commercials. for real though people need to stop making white guys feel so bad. that's why they all have to treat their gfs like garbage, and beat them, and belittle them. cause they can't take it out on anyone else. that's why i don't mess with white dudes anymore. i'm sick of getting in fist fights with men who feel emasculated.

Its just because they make black people seem so tough,. It's not racist ,just intimidating bc the media is stupid

Don't forget male models aren't the exact epiphany of being a man either

Kate upton for being slamming on the other hand..

Im black too, and this is an observation I have noticed also. They do this sort of thing with black women too. One out of 99 black women in commercials have the curly 'afro centristic' hairstyles. 99 out of a 100 black women I see have straight hair. the media is so outta touch it makes me sick sometimes.
