  • Windows 11 "all black" ad...

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 3 19:17:29 2021
    Shows some geeky black millenials rhapsodizing over the new (buggy) Windows 11. Two of the black guys speak white, more or less. The third
    sounds kind of black, but mercifully, they spare us most of the street jargon. So, it seems Windows wants to look "woke" but is clearly aiming the ad at liberal whites.

    Jeepers, most of the people I know who you would probably consider
    'black' are far more articulate and literate than you.

    Maybe it could help if you woke up a little....

    Yes, I know; "some of your best friends are black"....except LIBERALS never live in black areas.
    Perfect example is near me; Liberals live in Amherst New York while their "black friends" all
    live in squalid Buffalo proper.
    The Microsoft ad is a combination of pandering to white liberal sensibilities and insulting blacks.
