They's think bubbles. Support the College Fund, which will send blacks to school, which will teach 'em to be great thinkers/inventors &c.

The smaller white scoop is conflicting with the idea of representing lesser availability funds for black students.

i think you're looking too far into this. it's neapolitan ice cream -- a classic! :)

Next campaign, where art destroys the concept. The best one is that with traffic lights, but i still can't understand why big, well known agency can use such a shadow under the ice cream like in that particular ad. Ugh. Idea is nice though.

i don't regard the ice cream scoop as a "life changing innovation". i'm sure there are better examples.
reading the copy i rather got the impression they're making fun of african americans.

I think it's brilliantly done...and i think da art has done quite a bit of justice to da concept as a whole.

I can't decide. On one hand, it's inspiring and uplifting to show black people who achieved so much at a time when segregation was so rampant. But on the other hand, shouldn't the message be "we can help you overcome the stereotypes and be somebody" - rather than "hey - black people have ideas, too"? I mean no disrespect whatsoever - in fact, I think this message does more harm than good.
