Are K-Mart's New Back To School Commercials Offensive?



A lot of folks have been stirring up some drama on the world wide web because of K-Mart's new school related commercials which I found pretty cute.





Let me guess, urban folks find this offensive? Nope, from the looks of many of the Facebook comments Caucasian customers are just as mad.

Personally I didn't find it that offensive...corny, yes..offensive, no. Maybe I've numbed myself from the majority of stereotypical things I see on my television and I also know it could be worse and I have better things to worry/fuss about. We need to know when to pick and chose our battles. As long as there are murderers walking free, kids dropping out of school, rappers disrespecting women and women disrespecting themselves in mass quantities I think a little acting in a commercial as such is beyond harmless. Let the kids get a check!

For shits and giggles check out K-Mart's Facebook page for comments and concerns from their loyal customers regarding these videos.

Anyone African American is going to find this offensive because that is who is dominating these commercials that HAVE NOTHING TO DO with school or learning. They are making these children look like fools. How come Target has kids of other races sitting in classrooms doing cute things or playing in the playground. Targets commercials are MORE effective than that MESS Kmart calls a commercial because they are cute and SCHOOL related.
