I was about to start reading the DOJ report and then my 8 year old son just now asked:

“Dad, how come we don’t see any dark skin people on commercials on TV?”

“Son, I don’t have an answer for you right now.”

“Well, it just doesn’t seem fair. Somebody needs to do something about it.”

Well..

I’ll just tell him his school just got called off for tomorrow for snow. Best thing I can give him now.

Funny thing about that. A decade ago, I argued with a guy who tried to convince me that in none of Hollywood’s movies were white men ever portrayed as good, wise people.
