Recent studies carried out on American citizens revealed that the many view African-American girls as troublesome and far less innocent than their white counterparts.
With this harrowing thought in mind the beauty giant Procter and Gamble teamed up with its ‘My Black is Beautiful’ partners to address the African-American experience via an ad named ‘The Talk.’
In it, viewers are taken through several decades and observe as black parents are forced to give their children “the talk” they hope will shield them against subtle and shameless racism.
Watch below…
Our goal with ‘The Talk’ is to help raise awareness about the impact of bias. We are also hopeful that we can make progress toward a less biased future by recognizing the power of people of all backgrounds and races showing up for one another.
Alas, the ad’s powerful message has been slammed by some groups who claim it is racist.
Stop supporting Procter and Gamble! Their product line is huge. Don't buy any of it! Shameful! https://t.co/n7nB7bE9N6
