Black man/culture = trash can???? What the fuck!

If advertising is about symbolism and metaphors to convey quick (often :30 second) ideas and messages these guys should really consider the implications and imagery used here. This is how racism and prejudice is spread and made common place.

I know there will be nay sayers, but imagine if that trash can looked like your mom.

Risking being labeled as naive, I didn't really associate the trash can with a black man.
I'm not saying racism doesn't exist but your assumption is based on your own paranoia and prejudices. Other races also have plastic surgery, go to ball games, live a lavish lifestyle, rent limos, and wear ostentatious jewelry, etc.

Lighten up. That shit was straight up funny.

well put frcxshw....was thinking the same thing...this person took it too far and revealed their own inner racist...and yes, hip hop is not just Black, and i have yet to meet any friend's mom who's green orange and a trash can.
