Where's the ad hom? I'm not implying anything about the commenter, and I clearly didn't state anything about them. I just wanted more information about why that specifically is an example of an attempt to move the Overton window. Given the premise of the comment--that immensely wealthy and powerful (but apparently nameless) organizations are shaping public opinion of the masses via social media and advertising--they would choose positive feelings about miscegenation or black men in general over, I don't know, foreign policy, consumerism, or expansive federal power. It's weird. I called it weird. I stand by it.

For crying out loud, the commenter didn't even establish with evidence that it really is a pattern, or what "their" goal could even be.

EDIT Just noticed your username. Congrats, you got people riled up.




'It is weird you chose this topic' seems like you insinuate the issue is with the poster, not the topic.

My intention wasn't to troll.
