Hooray Beer... or Brilliant?

Well, first of all, we get a commercial with two semi-cartoon characters frying themselves on the beach. And they speak of the responsibilities of not carrying six beers, letalone drinking them, at one time. Now we get some reggae dude, probably from the Bahamas or some other country preaching that he can teach the "white man" to dance. "Hooray Beer"!!! Yeah, I love beer, and anyone that knows me can attest to that. But isn't that a little racial? What would happen if they made a commercial with a white man and he said, hey, "Kentucky Fried Chicken" ... helping black folks integrate with the white man for years? That, to me, is a little bit hypocritical. Aren't we supposed to live in a society that's FREE?? Yet, we get to sit down at the dinner table and see a black man teach the white man how to dance? And that's ESPN for shit's sake. Anyone with cable can get that. A child can see that and ask daddy why a black man selling beer is trying to teach a white man how to dance.!!! Why is it that we can't just accept sports for what they are, not try to add fuel to the fire, and appreciate the color difference in it? ESPN should not have the whole "teaching the white man how to dance" bullshit! They should know better. They should stick with the "Brilliant" campaign. Shit, if it was up to me, everybody would drink a twelve-pack a night. But I'm not a salesman. Just my thoughts.
