120. Its about the TYPE of interracial relationship

Didn't you ever see The Bodyguard? No uproar. None. A Bronx Tale. Guess Who? (Comedy movie). ANY Halle Berry movie. No frenzy. No outrage. How about Kevin Durant's hilarious Sprint commercial in which his "wife" is Asian. No outrage.

The issue about this ad isn't about interracial couples. Its about white women pairing off with black men. Nothing will piss a white guy off faster than that.

Go take a look at the movies with interracial relationships and you will find something pretty peculiar. Black women pairing with white men is fine. Been doing it in soap operas for decades now. No outrage. (Yes, Jessica and Duncan got married in 1992!) No complaints.

Look at Will Smith's movies. The directors always find a black woman to be his love interest. And when they didn't (Hancock), she ended up with a white guy at the end - same as The Long Kiss Goodnight (Sam Jackson and Geena Davis).

Its time to admit that there's much more to this than just race. Racism isn't as simple as some would like to believe. As it turns out, white guys don't mind seeing Pierce Brosnan banging Halle Berry's brains out. Blockbuster movie. Or Kevin Costner taking the wood to Whitney Houston (RIP). Blockbuster. But they don't want to see Sam Jackson banging Gwyneth Paltrow or Geena Davis. THAT is the problem.
