So Microsoft thought that it was a bad idea to have a black man featured in their Polish ads so they photo-shopped him out. Very bad idea.
See what Microsoft failed to realize is that Black is cool...all over the planet. This is just a testament to the archaic, unintelligent, and idiotic mentality that fuels their primitive technology. People all over the planet worship the sun in efforts to look ethnic. But Microsoft wouldn't understand this concept, which explains why they're ten years behind Apple in the technology gap.
Advertising Indexes across the planet support the fact that "Black" sells. Black people may be the most dense consumer base, but we also produce the biggest Endorsement Returns. For example, Tiger Woods sells more product than Jack Nicklaus, Jay-Z sells more product than Garth Brooks and Bruce Springsteen combined. Michael Jordan sells more product than Dale Earnhardt Jr and Tom Brady combined...and he's retired. So what does all of this mean? It means that removing a black man from an ad was bad for business, even in Poland. It also means that removing a black man from an ad in Poland wasn't a business decision. It wasn't even a socio-economic decision; it was a socio-racial decision.
It tells a bigger story of the deep-rooted hatred and racism that exists as part of a corporate culture, even when the leader of the free world is a black man. To this I say...hey, I use a Mac anyway. Screw you Microsoft; you're not cool enough to identify with a black man.
