John Mack takes a look at the recent ads and wonders:
Why are these “disturbing?” They are reminiscent of a much-criticized comment made by New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, who once said: “It’s time for us to rebuild New Orleans “” the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans…” At the time, Nagin was running for re-election and the comment brought much criticism. But it didn’t prevent him from being re-elected.I’m trying to decide if these comparisons have a racial undertone or could be viewed as racist.
