Are we sending the wrong messages with commercial depictions of interracial families?

© Getty Images It is difficult to avoid the proliferation of TV commercials that feature white men at the head of Black families. The commercials, of course, are intended to sell products that range from cars to insurance to snack foods. Still, the depiction of scenes of intimacy that center white men in Black life can trigger painful memories of historical experience. Such commercials can become instruments for destructive role modeling in the Black mind. They can codify a new symbol of white male dominance under the pretense of diversity especially when the reality of interracial marriage is that Black men and white women far outnumber the scenes promoted in the commercials.
