I thought the spot was pretty funny, but not a lot of people see it that way.

Recently, a CLUTCH reader brought this new State Farm commercial, staring Selita Ebanks and Mehcad Brooks, to our attention. She was concerned because she felt it showcased Black women in a negative, stereotypical light—loud, and complaining about Black men.

And this one, too:

The recent controversy over a State Farm commercial featuring Selita Ebanks and Mehcad Brooks is another matter. The State Farm commercial features a "sassy," angry black woman who is henpecking her significant other about running into another car. It is complete with lip-smacking, ubiquitous "umm hmms" and I swear I saw a finger snap and a head roll up in there too. I could be wrong, but I would be shocked if State Farm didn't engage with some "multicultural" firm when coming up with this concept and executing it.
 



I seriously hate uppity ninjas. What is racist about that? I mean come on man, the same folks complaining wouldn't say nothing if a real racist situation occurred in the job.

Man that shat is funny I don't care what nobody say.
 
Selita Ebanks dates Phillies slugger Ryan Howard. Man, I should have tried to get better at baseball. :lol:
 
The ad just shows guys prefer chicks with who are fine, light-skinned with long hair and nice tits over loud short-haired country wannabes.

Even though, I like tall light skinned chicks with long hair, I still have to :smh:
 
State Farm got a bunch of commercials like that. The first one was 3 guys sitting around when a baseball crashed through a window. They all sung the song. The first guy got his insurance agent. The BLACK WISHED FOR A SAMMICH. The third guy wished for the girl in apt. 3g and a hot tub. :lol:

CT, I don't know though. They have expressed some female like admiration from Beyonce. It is far beyond the normal guy, "I think she fine and I would beat it up talk"
