99% of marketing and television shows are aimed towards white culture and white people anyway
While probably true, It is almost just the title "White television" that screams "This is a channel for racist people" to some people. When you think "Black power" and "White Power" White power is almost always thought of as a racist slogan, while Black power doesn't really have that "racist feel".

and I'd say it is because of actual White Supremacists shouting that all the time, but I gotta say, "White Might" or "White Strength" etc. would bring about the same feeling.

There really isn't a single white "culture" though and that might make it seem worse. Like when you say "Irish power" or "English power" it starts to sound significantly less bad.

Though I notice that a lot of people don't like it when a white person refers to themselves as part of one of these cultures. Instead opting for thinking NO YOUR A WHITEY.

Edit: Maybe this is because I live in the US? and you can't say no I'm not <insert race/color of skin/genetic origin here>, I'm American without sounding like a moron...

lol thread (fyi pog a lot those posts are jokes that went over your head) but

I don't think 99% of advertising aimed at white people. they specifically take this shit into consideration. also I don't think like oxyclean targets any specific race

my sister had a class where they broke down what black people like and how you can get them to buy your products, she was telling me about it and it was funny as hell. I couldn't believe they teach this shit

no, something else. I don't remember because she always abbreviates it. a dual major and one of them has to do with marketing.

vaunce your site is like craigslist except that there are no postings. are you a joke account or is this some new service you're trying to compete against craigslist with? i like vaunce.tv though.

the lady herself said that shes suffering from it so why do it? is media attention really that important. I would consider her a racist myself.

You know what thay say once you buy Black you never go back. :fogetguns:

I think this is a stupid media Stunt and really believe it not worth doing at all. Because it is obviously giving  her and  her husband  trouble and there really is no benfits for doing so other then publicity.

What makes you say that? Marketing is not easy and it takes a long time. They teach you all the crap that is not working but it did in 1950's
I did marketing for half a year until I became so disillusioned that I left. It was really nothing special. There were a few people there who actually were creative and could come up with good ideas but most of my classmates were seriously idiots. I remember doing a presentation with three others and having to help all of them because they could not clearly explain our concept or the reasoning behind it in plain Dutch.

I'm sure there are good marketing educations out there, but mine wasn't one of them despite the fact it was being taught in a good college. For some reason I suspect it's something more fundamental.

EDIT: I should clarify that being good at marketing is extremely difficult. But being on the top of class is not.

Well, it's an experiment. If this is how they decided to live for the rest of their lives, it'd be pretty dumb. They're not really starting a movement and they're only inconveniencing themselves. Furthermore, what are they trying to prove when they buy only from businesses owned by black people? I don't understand their aim. If the black entrepreneurial community is lacking, couldn't that just mean that some blacks who are capable of owning companies or franchises simply don't want to? Owning your own business isn't the mark of success that people make it out to be. You can be just as happy, or happier, when working for *gasp* the man, or the business's equivalent. And, hell, if your product is good I'm pretty sure no one is going to care what color the creator is. I'm sure people would have gone just as batshit insane over [insert ][/insert] if it was pioneered by some black/Asian/hispanic person. Hell, it might have been. I don't think people look too much into these things.

Sure, more black people should go to college or whatever and earn degrees that could potentially help them start a company (well, in theory; if every person from a minority group that's underrepresented in the field of higher education suddenly went and got their degrees, finding jobs would be hell), but owning a business isn't the only way to achieve the American dream.

/ideological tangent

These people would be much better off advocating higher education for black people. Or, hell, they could go to Africa and persuade people to start up businesses there.

Also, lol, 14 miles is kinda nothing. I don't see why it's called an "odyssey".
