Glad to see Cheerios sticking to its ad.  Racism in this country is still going strong apparently.http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cheerios-stands-tv-ad-showing-151048704.html 4951

I thought it was cute. Emoticon Youtube trolls say the same things reguardless of what is in the actual video, so I don't think it's as big of a deal as everyone is making out. 4951

I agree wih @meekmouse. You could put a video of kittens and puppies on YouTube and the same trolls will write derogatory posts.I do have a funny feeling that General Mills alerted the media to the posts for more coverage of their "daring" commercial. 4951

@taramay:
 
That's what I said. If you have THAT much time on your hands to complain about what this commercial was about then you seriously need to get a life!!! 4951

@N+T: I think you give waaaaaaay to much credit to a few outspoken morons. Anyone who complains about this commercial totally and completely marginlizes themselves. Pretty much as if the stood up to claim the Earth is flat.

I disagree with meekmouse & TexIns. Internet anonymity allows people's inner selves to be shown. Yes, a lot of commenters on you tube have inner selves that are mean POS. just because most of those people wouldnt show that side of themselves in polite society doesn't mean that they aren't at their core mean SOBs.
If you think that the people posting don't mean what they are saying whe they are posting that racist BS, that's really naive. At best they are showing their true ***hole selves, at worst, those are people who we daily encounter and trust with our education, medical care, food service etc...
 
It makes one wonder, does my mechanic feel this way about my family? Does that mentality affect the quality of the work or the prices I was charged?
 
It matters. 4951

@KellyG I'm just saying that you can't extrapolate what some trolls write to all of America. That these same morons will make rude comments about anything just to make themselves feel better. My guess is that some a racist and some trolls are trying to be the next Tosh.O.LAstly, I doubt those trolls have occupations. 4951

Super cute commercial. Anyone with a problem with that is just ignorant. I'd go bug some Cheerios after seeing that, but there's already a ginormous box in the pantry. (DD's fav) 4951

I think the problem is,, that people use the "racism" to their advantage,, or when they feel they have no other reason, to dislike anything, and when its convienent...
 
racism does exist, I dont agree with it,,,
 
Also,, most people want to cry racism on EVERYTHING,,, you know sometimes its just the way things are, or the truth,,, attitude towards it is everthing. thats the way this world is,,,,
 
how about reverse racism,,, why is that not addressed
or
how about prejudism against other organizations or religions such as christianity,,, thats never mentioned
 
I dont believe in all this crying,,, it will pass just like eveything else.
people want to whine and cry about petty stuff that does not affect them,,,
 
I have more important issues in my live, than to worry about a commmercial...
I still buy cheerios,, and other cereals 4951

At one time, mixed marriages like white/Asian and  white/Hispanic were generally considered shocking.  I don't see the same shock as there used to be (at least not as much).  I saw my first black/white couple with a baby around 1969.  I was a bit surprised back then.  Now, it's no longer surprising.  There will always be racists (in all races!) but hopefully people will continue to become more accepting. 4951

@KTownTexican,
This is the best piece I've seen written on what you are talking about. Be sure to read through to the two comments after the post as well. It's the best explanation I've seen on the topic.

@KellyG: interesting article,,,
I agree,, many people throw out a race card,, because its the easy way to try and explain something you dont agree with... most of the time its not racism,,,, its prejudism..
 
like my dad says,,, I am not a racist, but I am prejudice,,, there is a BIG difference,,
 
people should know the difference,, and they dont,, so they yell racism. I cant stand when one "group" demands a racist issue over another "group",,, however when the tables turned,, its ok or funny
 
I have been affected by racism,, my self,, I dont like it,,, but you cant change certain areas of society.
Also society breeds its own lifestyle and prejudices,,, A racist is an individual who believes his race is above all others,,, a prejudice person, believes in, likes or dislikes certain factors or elements about other races, groups, organizations, etcs...
 
people need to know and be taught the difference,, and how a person who always throws out the race card, is usaually a racist him self,,,, example Quanell X 4951
