Thanks for the shout out Mike Vice Vain.




This is one of the titans of American advertising, Tom Burrell. A pioneer for Blacks in the industry.
He offers a unique perspective about the power of images here promoting his book..

I agree with about 65% of what was written in the book.

If you've watched or listened to any of his promo interviews, you've gotten the gist of the book.

I think Burrell absolves people from responsibility for actions too much in the book. I do agree however with most of his points about us buying into a Black Inferiority Complex. We wouldn't treat and speak to each other the ways we do if we didn't buy into that.
If a person thinks that they are nothing, it's easy to treat somebody who looks like him like a dog.
