We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

The first cupcake was beatboxing!

It reminded me the way blackface cartoons used to be drawn.

B/W

They need to pull any commercial that consists mainly of one long shot and goes for 90 seconds.

They remind me of frogs croaking in a pond falloff

My kids LOVED the ad by the way and wish we could buy that glaze, and I had to ask (just to make sure) that they knew it won't make a cake be able to sing lol

Not racist.

Folks should reserve that accusation for real injustice, not singing cupcakes.

That was a really good commercial! I love that it told a story in one shot, even with a dramatic problem (the phone call, and one cake being off musically).

I didn't think it felt racial.

I immediately thought of "black face," but in this instance, I didn't find it offensive at all. Any of my brothers and sisters who do find it offensive, LIGHTEN UP! The Revolution is ovah! lol
