Decoding the Racism in Advertising and Entertainment with Professor Gene Shelton

Описание: Advertising, marketing, the entertainment industry and even the news media are selling us something. And what they’re selling usually isn’t good for us. Racist imagery like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are only the tip of the iceberg.
