It's one of the few commercials I remember from last night, and for all the wrong reasons.

I think we should be more mad at the King family and his estate for even giving Ram permission for using his voice to begin with. Ram is just in the business to make money by selling trucks and most likely have no vested interest in civil rights or MLK's overall message. I blame the butter biscuit eating ****'s in MLK's family.

This really isn't that big of a deal, tbh, it's no less disingenuous than the t mobile commercial with the babies (which I personally liked). Bud and t mobile are doing exactly what advertisers have been doing since forever, trying to get people to buy their products. If it involves a good message while they hawk their trucks or phone plans then great, if not, then whatever. It's not like commercials have ever been this bastion of honesty and true representation of the people they want buying their products.

I saw it, with them using part of his speech as the backdrop to a truck commercial with majority 'merica' type images and thought what the hell.

I knew that they would get **** for it as soon as it finished. Lmao. If Kendall Jenner got hate for her Pepsi ad, which I didn’t think was that bad, then these fools would definitely get the heat for it.

Ah, the "business has no moral function beyond building of profit" argument - or the American Dream, "I've got mine, so screw you!".
And we wonder why the next generations aren't going to be as well off or healthy as the ones which are benefitting now?
Dickens was writing about this stuff 180 years ago - and we're heading back to workhouses and hostels for everyone but the rich.

Tons of mainstream outlets are talking about it too.
It is the most popular NYT story based on Google searches right now.
I just typed in MLK in a Google search and tons of stories popped up.

Make no mistake champ, I like cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster just like any other real ***** but I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to tap dance for, or anticipation of a biscuit from the dominant society of any kind under any and all circumstances. I'll never go against my people, be it for promises of a gold chain or a 6 year college program for an Associates Degree from the dominant society. We have to have as many as possible on the same page out here.
