![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the racist attacks on Harold Ford didn’t end there. Most appalling is the young blonde woman talking about how she met Harold at the Playboy mansion – and she ends the attack ad by whispering in a sexy voice, “Harold, call me.” The ad caused a huge controversy for its none-too-subtle exploitation of miscegenation fears. All the actors in the film are white and attack Ford’s character, save for the one African-American woman…who only seems to care about Ford’s good looks. At least, those are the racist stereotypes this Republican attack ad against Tennessee Senate hopeful Harold Ford blatantly portrays. Don’t even get started on their porn addiction.

Volkswagon features an Arab terrorist in its ad campaign for the new Polo automobile. One of the most racist commercials in recent history is particularly appalling. However, if you find any others that deserve mention, feel free to leave a comment. Because many of these ads are routinely taken down, some of your favorites might not be on the list.

And while some ads are sneakily suggestive, others are almost unbelievably shameless. While political ads are notoriously racist – even in the current presidential election – ads promoting everything from cars to office equipment to breakfast cereal have been laced with negative overtones. They are still quite happy to play into fears and stereotypes associated with race. If you think the era of political correctness has taught advertisers to create campaigns that are more sensitive and intelligent, think again. ![]()
