Right.

And in the case of the Popeyes lady, she is shown as an individual in a lot of ways. She has a name, she is the queen of chicken or whatever, etc.  So the argument can be made that she's presented as an individual and acts as such.

McDonald's ads have random black people doing stereotypical black people things.  Singing R&B songs about McNuggets.

Exactly

Thanks for saying this. Even though they both are offensive, people turn the other cheek when it comes to music. People don't talk about the oppression nonsense when they are in the club touching the sky for T Pain.

There are no positive women for teenaged black girls to look up to right now man. It bothers me. BOTHERS me. Being a garden tool is all they see.

There are many positive black women for teenaged girls to look up to. The problem is the parents not giving a damn about it and thinking that television (an entertainment medium) is where who we look up to should come. Parents should scour business magazines to find real role models such as the women below. I think another problem is that a magazine like this even needs to exist. 

1. Sheryl Adkins-Green, Global Vice President, Brand Development, Mary Kay, Inc.
   Adkins-Green leads Mary Kay’s global product strategy, which includes product positioning, packaging, product education, and pricing for the highly successful cosmetics company estimated to be worth $2.6 billion.

5. Esi Eggleston Bracey, VP & GM Global Cosmetics Innovation, Branding and Operations, Procter & Gamble
   When Bracey first joined Procter & Gamble in 1991, she made history when she became one of the youngest employees to become general manager. The VP is now in charge of over 1,000 employees and is responsible for P&G’s popular CoverGirl and Max Factor brands, which have garnered over $2 billion in retail sales worldwide.
6. Rosalind Brewer, Division President, Southeast Operations, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
   Brewer was appointed division president in 2007 and currently manages sales and operation plans, including strategic growth opportunities for 800 stores and 250,000 associates.

   Kraft Foods is a $42 billion food and beverage company and Brown is responsible for the global procurement of all of the company’s goods and services while also overseeing the supply chain for many of America’s most beloved brands, such as Jell-O, Oreo, and Oscar Mayer.
8. Glynis Bryan, CFO, Insight Enterprises, Inc.
   Bryan manages financial strategy for Insight Enterprises, a $4.8 billion global information technology hardware, software, and services company.
9. Teresa Bryce, President, Radian Guaranty, Inc.
   Bryce is a banking expert and former general counsel who now leads the mortgage insurance unit of Radian Guaranty, a $1.8 billion company.
