Re: Bizarre Commercial - Red House Furniture
This video addresses the controversy created by our Red House Furniture commercial. Here’s the original commercial: www.youtube.com Here’s the transcript: We knew this video was going to be controversial. Anytime race is discussed in any capacity, controversy ensues. The racial reconciliation concept was a joint effort between the Red House staff and us. They pointed out the fact that their employees and customer base were like the “Rainbow Coalition”, and we thought something with a comical racial reconciliation theme would be fun, as well as a conversation starter. For those of you who think this video is racist, we’d like you to distinguish between “racist” and “racial”. Racism is “hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.” Racial is “of, relating to, or based on a race”. This video is very obviously racial as opposed to racist. This video doesn’t promote or feature hatred or intolerance. Rather, it’s the very opposite. This commercial promotes inclusion and reconciliation, if not in a comical way. To point out the obvious, the irony in this video is that it’s completely ridiculous for people to relate furniture to their race. People of all colors are welcome at the Red House, which is something that is taken for granted today, but there was a time in the not-so-recent past during which things as simple as a water fountain were NOT for everyone. If Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, or Dave Chappelle for that matter, were to address racial issues in a comical way …

Racism discriminates against one race, which you sure didn’t do. These people just need dictionaries and some decent schooling.

Great job, guys. Those offended by this video are infected by political correctness at levels I can’t begin to imagine. Far too many people are hypersensitive about stuff like this, and they need some help to get over it. News flash: PC is embarrassing, unsexy, and immature. Get over it. Enjoy a funny and well meaning video. P.S. I love your work guys!!!
