Billboards - More Than Just Advertising

Welcome back everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day this past week. Speaking of that I have posted the results of the Valentine's Day poll below. Also check out my Viko off to the side (he used to say something different, but I had to change it). Anywho today I want to focus on "Social Responsibility." This is when you do, say, or display something that's offputting to the people around you. For example sagging or better yet sagging only to show the multiple pairs of draws you have on that day. However I'm not going to sit here and talk about ALL the issues with people and social responsibility (trust me I would literally rant for hours on end). Instead I think it's big corporations that should be held at fault for their lack of social responsibility. My cousins and I traveled the states last Summer and of course took MANY MANY photos of the local "attractions", if you know what I mean :). So one day we were crossing through Tennessee, strictly passing through with NO intentions of staying (to scared), and at one of the gas stations we happened to cross a billboard that went a little like this.....

My oldest cousin, being Islamic himself, went crazy about the sign, but due to the fact that we were five colored males in Tennessee, we shut our mouths. Even though such billboards may or may not have been intended to offend, this one surely went off the deep end. Nevertheless, these signs didn't stop there. They were almost everywhere and about varying nationalities; no one was spared.

One thing about these corporations is that instead of uniting minorities, they would prefer to poke funny at them through their one-sided stereotypes. The only problem? The fact that we allow such things to happen right before our eyes. This only results in other disunity between us and our brethren whether black, brown, yellow, orange, red, etc. Well it’s time to stop acting like children at the playground and learn to love on another. We are one family, one country, one people. Thnx for reading and remember speak your mind, live you life, and do you.
