I've said this to my wife many times now, it's pretty clear that McDonalds targets black people in their advertisements.

That says a lot about a number of things.

A member of the Code Switch team — who shall remain nameless, but whose name rhymes with Tatt Mhompson — was recently winding his way through the recesses of Amazon when he randomly stumbled across an old ad for McDonald's that appeared in Ebony back in 1972. (Don't trouble yourself trying to figure out just what Ma...er, Tatt was searching for to come this result. Your head will hurt.)

Here's what that ad looked like.

I find the "we do it all for you" message in the second one particularly disturbing.
