Pepsi Ad

Capitalism successfully makes a profit by exploiting black people and black culture, what's new? Interesting how it's so easy to recognize that just talking about how wrong this Pepsi commercial is, is bringing attention to the company, in return completing its original task. However, when it comes to actual Black Lives Matter protests and all the attention and publicity it gets, people are still hard pressed to acknowledge that it actually is making a difference. I love hearing how companies advertise so "successfully" that it backfires, like with Google. People love using google as a verb more than they like the actual search engine. It has become such a commodity that at some point Google tried to make a case against the use of the verb.
