http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/200601024_harold_ford_ad/
" WASHINGTON—A new Republican Party television ad featuring a scantily clad white woman winking and inviting a black candidate to “call me” is drawing charges of race-baiting, with critics saying it contradicts a landmark GOP statement last year that the party was wrong in past decades to use racial appeals to win support from white voters".
This quote and ad will help me due to me learning about more ads that have a negative racial background behind them.

"Microsoft photoshopped a black man out of one of its ads targeting the Polish market"
This ad shows that in todays society racism still exits in advertisements in the media, so this therefore will help me compare different decades and if racisim still exits within the black culture within advertisements.

"Most black elected officials and community leaders wanted further study of the reform and were specifically worried about how changes would impact the education of "50,000 Black school children in the Cleveland School District".
This quote and advertisement will help me due to this advert being argued against in america. By using different countrys as my examples will show me the diversity of racisim in advertisements in the whole world.

"This isn’t the first time President Barack Obama’s image has been exploited in international advertising".
This quote is useful, as it shows that even though there is a change in America due to there being a Black man as president, there is still a negative representation of him due to him being black in the advertising media.
Anti-racist advert in black and white
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1376473/Anti-racist-advert-in-black-and-white.html
"Ken Livingstone and Spice Girl Mel B as they appear in the anti-racism advert".
This advert is very interesting, as most of the adverts i have been focusing on have been negative, however this advert is positive. This therefore allows me to understand both sides of the argument and analyse how anti racism adverts with different races participating in them are very sucsessful.
