Looking at the website there's not a single black face on it but somehow a black man has been enlisted to be the poster child for their campaign. Says a lot about who they're deliberately trying to market to (recruit). On the one hand it pisses me off because its so blantantly manipulative and says a lot about the overt homophobia that exists here. But on the other hand I know there'll be a gang of self hating brothas up in there trying to get changed and I can't get with that either. Sad.</p> I've seen that billboard too and what I find really interesting - besides the fact that its huge and its over a major freeway in downtown Atlanta - is that there's a black man in the ad.
