LSU04, you are 100% wrong on this one.

General Mills probably knows more about groups of people that the US Census Bureau, plus they have massive contracts with outside companies to collect and collate demographic data.

Food companies have PhD sociologist running group demographic research, PhD statisticians crunching those numbers, and vast, pretty teams of marketing VP, directors and managers building messages to very specific, very targeted groups. If you can get a PhD in marketing, they would probably hire them... General Mills even has managers who only job it is to sell Mexican food to the Chinese - in China -

You and your family may not be of the type to participate in this the willing collection of this information, but people's buying habits are collected down to penny and to the product. If you are a white male in Louisiana, they know what a typical white male in Louisianna buys for breakfast with a fair amount of certainty. Outside of social media and direct polling and research, most demographic buying habits are actually collected via rewards cards, and all are known and studied by Top Men......... Top. Men. (and women)

Unfortunately, resistance is futile to demographic market research. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if one day a General Mills type company is really just a marketing and data analysis firm that Oh Yea, just happens to make food on the side. Which one will drive the other will be the question. Sort of like the old saying, "Ford is a health care and investment company that just happens to make cars."

actually you are 100 percent wrong on this one. I am in advertising and I know of no study or demographic model that indicates different races enjoy different brands of cereal. To suggest that they are just adjusting to the demographic makes absolutely no sense.

This was a stunt to generate controversy and to generate attention. That is how advertising works in many cases. However, this wasn't a very ethical or classy approach. It did nothing but create a negative vibe. Cheerios sales have been dropping and they desperate to generate attention.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that race affects which cereal you eat. General Mills and Saatchi&Saatchi are:

1. Capitalizing from the success of the old one.
2. Making a PR move to acknowledge that families like this do exist. That can endear people to your brand.

I can uderstand that, why can't MSNBC and their liberal idiots? Matter of fact, that's exactly what I would have originally thought but the loonies HAD to make this issue a racial one against Conservatives.

I don't know. MSNBC shouldn't have touched it.

Of course not. But over time, your buying habits will probably pretty reliably show that you are a middle aged white male. Meat, alcohol, chips etc. It's even easier with women, as they have to buy feminine hygiene products on a regular basis. There are massive amount of buying data out there, plus there are a fair number of shoppers who self ID to the data companies in return for free products and coupons.

Reward card data is broken down based on general demographic data collected from Census tracks.

For instance, if reward card data shows that Cheerios sold a lot of boxes in an area that was predominantly white and upper class, and sold a lot of boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in an area that was predominantly minority and lower class, then consumer insights and marketing would understand as such and provide market appropriate advertising and marketing in those areas. Additionally, the food company sales teams would sell to the stores or would bring and stock those in demand products right to the shelves. There is even science specifically around where to place a product on the shelf for maximum sales, and stores actually sell those spaces to food companies! Watch next time where Kellogg's Fruit Loops are on the shelf, versus the generic Loops of Fruits. All of this is driven by data collected about consumer buying habits, and let me reinforce, include race, ethnicity, class, sex and income. As long as there are no discriminatory actions taken in the marketing, it is all acceptable.

Also, because I don't think it was clear, the supermarkets actually collect the data, and either analyze it themselves and then tell the vendor what to sell where, and at what price point, or give the data to the CPG companies for them to analyze before bringing the appropriate product to market.

Remember that the markets (from Wal-Mart to the corner bodega) are also driving the data collection and analysis. It's not just the big food companies.

I think we're spinning our wheels because I'm still not sure how that would amount to much... People going to the store for their friends, etc... Many times, if I don't have a rewards card, the cashier runs one anyways... I think Nomad nailed it, and like I told him, I would have never noticed this commercial had MSNBC not shat themselves about it. Now I look at every commercial to see who it is trying to pick up, and the new Hershey's spread is reaching out to whites if this is the case... I just buy what I like, regardless of commercials.

Now, if it features someone I don't like then I won't buy it, but if it's a black family, mixed family, white family, mexican family, couple, friends, etc then I couldn't care less. If I like Wheaties and they have a box with Obama on it then I'll buy a different brand until he's off the box, just an example.

20 great moments in liberal bigotry

Do not make the mistake of thinking Harry Reed’s recent comment that President Obama might be electable because he’s light-skinned and doesn’t have a negro dialect is an isolated event.

In fact, there are so many inappropriate liberal comments that we’re thinking of opening The Liberal Bigot Hall of Fame to honor the best of the best. Each of the following liberal icons would get a nice brass plaque featuring their face and most bigoted quotes.

Of course, Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a unanimous first round selection into the Hall.


Price of admission:
Adults $10
Children $5
Blacks, Jews, Indians and any other minorities not allowed.

And now, without further delay, here are 20 remarkably bigoted comments made by liberals.

“You’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”
- Senator Fritz Hollings

Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.”
- Mike Wallace

“In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master … exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell’s committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.”
- Harry Belafonte

“A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.”
- Spike Lee referring to Clarence Thomas

“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
- Robert Byrd

“I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.”
- Robert Byrd

“I’ll have those ******* voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
- Lyndon B. Johnson

“You f*cking Jew b@stard.”
- Hillary Clinton

‘Hymietown.’
- Jesse Jackson describing New York City

“Jews — that’s J-E-W-S.”
- State Senator Bill McKinney explaining why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002

“Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”
- Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.”
- Louis Farrakhan

“White folks was in caves while we was building empires… We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”
- Rev. Al Sharpton

“The white race is the cancer of human history.”
- Susan Sontag

These negros, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they’ve never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness.
- LBJ

“I am not going to use the federal government’s authority deliberately to circumvent the natural inclination of people to live in ethnic homogeneous neighborhoods.”
- Jimmy Carter

I mean, you’ve got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
- Joe Biden (referring to Barack Obama)

THE TOP TEN RACIST RUSH LIMBAUGH QUOTES

1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

Source

No, but I’ve noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I’ve never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh on the other hand.

John Wayne Gacy





2. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”

Source

The communist connection is an old way of dealing with black leaders. They used it on Martin Luther King, they’re using it on Barack Obama and Limbaugh used it on Nelson Mandela. By siding with the racist apartheid regime over a world-wide symbol of peace and freedom, Limbaugh has shown he’s a global racist.

3. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

Source

Limbaugh is once again fear mongering and race baiting by associating professional black athletes with criminals and gangmembers. He continues the fear mongering association of good, decent, hard working African Americans as criminals.

4. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

Source

Now Limbaugh is saying that an organization with a storied tradition of representing the positive black people for change in their communities are criminals and rioters. An organization that has been represented by intelligent professional African Americans, that has played a part in the Civil Rights movement and continues to be an intelligent, concerned voice for the African American community is degraded to common criminals. There you go Rush. Keep racism alive!!!!

5. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”

Source

Decent human beings care Rush. Someone out of that 12% is the President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn’t admit to that.

6. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

Source

Okay, Rush, that’s classy. The old African bone in the nose stereotype. Wasn’t funny when the racist white school kids called the black kids that and it’s definitely not funny when a grown man with audience of millions of easily influenced dittoheads says it either.

7. ”I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”

Source

I wasn’t super offended by this, the whole black quarterback/coach thing has been going on for years in sports, but the quote was so offensive that Retired General Wesley Clarke said:

There can be no excuse for such statements. Mr. Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants, but ABC and ESPN have no obligation to sponsor such hateful and ignorant speech. Mr. Limbaugh should be fired immediately.

When a respected, retired general condemns the statement of a sportscaster, you know he’s gone too far.

8. Limbaugh’s many attacks on Obama.

Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna *** laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.

So Rush Limbaugh has managed to make racist attacks on four of the most admired and respected people of African descent in the past one hundred years, in Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. He has claimed that Joe the Plumber, who isn’t even a plumber is more important in this election than Colin Powell, a decorated military veteran who has served honorably in three administrations. How can the Republican party stand by this man and let their candidates appear on his show? Rush Limbaugh’s comments are so racist, they’re funny, in a Borat, Archie Bunker kind of way. What is not funny is the millions of dittoheads who listen to him, who take in and re-spout all the racist rhetoric that he spits. Limbaugh’s statements are echoed in the racist, angry Palin/McCain supporters who shout ‘kill him,’ ‘terrorist,’ ‘communist,’ ‘traitor,’ ‘socialist’ and ‘off with his head.’

9. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”

Source

Okay Limbaugh let’s take back all of the Civil Rights movement and bring segregation back. But you’re not a racist.

10. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”

Source


So everything Obama is doing is a big plot to give money to Black people. Any evidence? Stop the racist fear-mongering.

THE TWO CONTESTED QUOTES







We ran these two quotes as part of our original list of ten. However, in the fall of 2009, this post surfaced in the debate that followed Limbaugh’s dismissal from an investment group attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams. NewsOne has, as yet, not been able to determine the veracity of these quotes. We note the following for the record:
These two quotes were both sourced to a book by Jack Huberman called “101 People Who Are Really Screwing America,” published by Nation Books in 2006. The author of this book, in turn, claims that he procured these quotes from a source which he has refused to reveal “on advice of counsel.”
Rush Limbaugh has vigorously denied that he said these things.

In sum, NewsOne can no longer vouch for the accuracy of these quotes. Nor can we trust Limbaugh, who never denied saying the other eight racist quotes on our original list, and whose own track record of duplicity gives us pause. We keep them in our post for their news value as a controversial, and perhaps dubious attribution. Segregated, of course. Which should make some people very happy.

1. “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

Source

2. “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”

Source

BONUS QUOTES




(…because ten isn’t enough!)

“Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot”

Source

How exactly does and African colonial despot behave? Trying to degrade our President by attacking his African roots?

“Obama is an angry Black guy”

Source


Was John McCain an angry white guy? Was George Bush a dumb white man? Is your hero, Dick Cheney, an evil white demon? Why are you playing off the angry Black guy stereotype to disrespect our President?

ANTI-LATINO QUOTES

“Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”

“You’re a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out.”

Nor can we trust Limbaugh, who never denied saying the other eight racist quotes on our original list, and whose own track record of duplicity gives us pause. We keep them in our post for their news value as a controversial, and perhaps dubious attribution. Segregated, of course. Which should make some people very happy.

1. “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

2. “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”

BONUS QUOTES




(…because ten isn’t enough!)

“Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot”

Source

How exactly does and African colonial despot behave? Trying to degrade our President by attacking his African roots?

“Obama is an angry Black guy”

Source


Was John McCain an angry white guy? Was George Bush a dumb white man? Is your hero, Dick Cheney, an evil white demon? Why are you playing off the angry Black guy stereotype to disrespect our President?

ANTI-LATINO QUOTES

“Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”

“You’re a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out.”

“A Chavez is a Chavez. We’ve Always Had Problems with Them”

You gave me some quotes from one man, an entertainer no less. I posted quoted from a wide range of people including politicians.

I know! All of this from one man. Shocking.

A couple of times now you have made dick references. You trying to tell us something? Your obsession with male genitalia (look that up) might suggest latent homosexual tendencies.

And a couple of times you've talked about Dixie and I "pissing." Then said you see. Your obsession of us led to my comment of you watching us peeing up a rope, whatever that means. Looks like my calling you out for your comment really hurt your ass. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

Reading comprehension is a good thing. I never discussed you urinating, and I never said your name. I guess your mind turned it into a dick thing because clearly your obsessed with em'.

The expression "pissing up a rope" connotes futility. Arguing with you is futile.

Yeah man, sure.

You know what "futile" means, right?

So you're equating a bunch of stuff from a radio show designed to generate controversy or shock value to sitting Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senate Pro Tem, nationally known race hustlers and whoever else is on that list of blatantly bigoted statements? All liberal democrats, many of them politicians in a position to actually affect these peoples lives?

What possible affect on someone else's life can a radio personality have? Weak sauce.

Read this article this morning and remembered that some people felt companies had no idea who (black, white, hispanic...) was buying their product.

Quote:Data brokers’ portraits feature traditional demographics such as age, race and income, as well as political leanings, religious affiliations, Social Security numbers, gun-ownership records, favored movie genres and gambling preferences (casino or state lottery?). Interest in health issues — such as diabetes, HIV infection and depression — can be tracked as well.

Brokers use ‘billions’ of data points to profile Americans
