    Nope.  I don't TV, and I quit the paper here when the Sunday paper began to resemble a weekday edition...and they went from a daily to 3-4 days per week.  Although I don't block ads online, I am blessed with the ability to ignore them.  I can listen to the radio and automatically tune out the ads...I do pretty much the same with online ads.

    Mixed RACE?


    No.  I didn't.  I mean not since 1980.    I think the United Colors of Benetton took care of that years ago.

    A group of people from various different ethnic groups is not the same thing as a person whose parents are from different ethnic groups. Mixed races mixed-race

    Boy Howdy, do they EVER. $$$$$$$ Cachinggggg.  

    I mean pretty soon we will all be a nation of coffee-colored people.  Then we will have to start fighting even more about religion and politics, because we will all be the same color.   And being a world of nutbag, dysfunctionals will keep us fighting about something to judge and compare. 

    Some things never change, no matter how much it looks like it from the outside.

    Ebony & Ivory
    Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder lyrics...

    Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
    Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we?
    We all know that people are the same whereever you go
    There is good and bad in ev'ryone
    We learn to live, when we learn to give
    Each other what we need to survive, together alive
    Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
    Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord why don't we?

    Trump's looking to ban mixed-race people- from the earth- but right now he's busy getting transgender people out of the military.

    Yes, I noticed this. It seems like they use people whose ethnicity is not readily identifiable, maybe as a way of reaching as many consumers as possible.

    I have noticed that there are a number of ads that have shown couples, married and just friends, of different races.
