1st……

asian ppl are smart enough not to go there.

What in the h-e-l-l? I live in NC that is all!!

I am so ashamed to be a North Carolinian right now, at least Im not from High Point but Fantasia is!

omg………and i bet folks is running down to the RED HOUSE with vigor for a brand new BED FROM BIG HEAD AND HIS WHITE FRIENDS ….

lol—

@ Mizzphatbootee, Spewintruth and Empress Keriii,

Wait until that guy “Its6amhogetout” see’s this commercial!

This is crazy…

It was funny. At least they are honest and trying to attract both markets…

I don’t see anything wrong with talking about race. now the commercial is goofy but they are just trying something different.

WHY PEOPLE PRETENDING THAT RACE IS IS NOT STILL A PROBLEM?

First off the name is “RED house”…hmmmm…redhouse…redneck did any1 see dat connection? Besides they look like they didn’t even wanna shake hands for too long wit dem niccas. I agree with lanette….y folks still pretendin race aint an issue. STOP FRONTIN NORTH CAROLINA !

I heard this on the radio one day and I thought it was a joke. What year is this?

I guess this is progressive for whatever backwoods swamp they live at, so thumbs up.

Could someone please explain to me what is racist about this commercial? I would really like to know.

*facepalm*

Wow……are you serious!!!!! Who lives in this hick town??? This is 2009 and this crap is still going on. Sad……….very sad.

lol I love it!!

Haha, it was actually pretty funny. Nothing wrong with it.

*singing* “At the Red House!”

I’m totally sure some of the people that leave comments on here are retarded. I mean actually mentally handicapped.

omg lmfao that was funny as hell you know they cantbe serious

i like the way he threw in hecspanics [sic] at the end

The funny thing is…this is progress. For those of us from the real dirty dirty south…where everybody is poor…to see black folk and white folk of this level together…this is almost like the abolishment of racism.

where is 6am?

one of the few times he is needed…

Ha-Haaaaa! They were trying to take a humorous approach to something that exists right under their noses…blatant racism. On the surface, sheer buffoonery, I agree…but a deeper message was definitely intended.

@atltx

agreed.

but these are just comedians. not to be taken seriously

I’m so ashamed to call myself a North Carolinian right now. Oh well..919 stand up lol

I”M BLACK..& I LOVE THE RED HOUSE! LOLOLOL

thank you, i am now racist and self loathing, i hate all black and white people.

What is with that part of N.C . The domino’s pizza workers that put boogers in the food are from that area too.

This commercial is not racist,it’s just redneck,backwards. That stupid song is going to stick in my mind all week shit

lmao @ bighead calling hispanics ixpanics….wtf

WOoooowwwW!! That’s all I have to say about that!

I’m black and I’m happy to see the races coming together

yea red house, where n*ggers and crackas come to shor. SMH

shop typo

1:30 seconds of my life that I can never have back.

It amazes me at how far advanced we in the North are. So glad I’m a damn yankee. The accents are irritating, the commericial is pure buffoonery. And big head looks like an over-stuffed sausage. 10 gauge? Wonder who, I mean what he shoots for sport?

maybe everyone that lives around there knows that only white people are treated nicely there and they’re trying to combat that image… that’s the only reason why i could think anyone would make race the whole damn theme of their commercial… i’m mad at how Big Head was shaking that white ladies hand like she had swine flu… he didn’t even bother to grasp it…

We think the commercial is hilarious!! Kudos to all! But in response to those of you who think this commercial says something BAD about people in Highpoint, NC…then you guys are crazy!!! Sorry to inform you city folk, but we Carolina folk are INTEGRATED!!! Obviously the Red House is playing off of Barack being in the Whitehouse! What are you guys, idiots?

@tired
why should it matter what “color” you are in order to get a couch? that shouldn’t even be the focus. race is a touchy subject to everyone, it gets people’s blood flowing. i think if they’re intentions was to spark a conversation, it should have been done another way, thats all im saying. It was an insensitive approach to a very sensitive subject. i don’t think issues dealing with race should be swept under the rug at all, but this was just a tasteless effort.

this is a joke right! snl? mad tv?… i hope so. smdh

“where black people and white people buy furniture”
WTF??? …

(blank stare)

Yeah they were country, but ummm it really wasn’t that serious.

@breezy00

If you took this serious, it’s because your an idiot. Please kill yourself

@breezy00

it doesn’t matter what color you are to get a couch, that was the entire point. People are way too sensitive, everyone is ready to be in an uproar right all the time. How do you fix something if you never address it? This is just a blatant, in your face thing to say “hey, it’s stupid to be up in arms all the time, let’s progress.”

—————– I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE A POINT!!!!! RENT-A-CENTER- HAS LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM BECAUSE THEY CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES ON NEW AND USED FURNITURE/ELECTRONICS ETC. TO MINORITIES; BUT THE THING IS, THEY DONT HAVE RENT-A-CENTERS IN WHITE AREAS!!!!! ONLY IN BLACK AND MINORITY AREAS THAT PRETTY MUCH TARGET PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CREDIT OR BAD CREDIT!!!!! SO MAYBE THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT THEY ARE JUST NOT TARGETING BLACK CUSTOMERS BUT ALSO WHITES!!!! TRUE, IT’S A RIDICULOUS COMMERCIAL, BUT IT DOES SUPPORT RACIAL HARMONY & FRIENDSHIP SO ITS OK….

@tired

“hey, it’s stupid to be up in arms all the time, let’s progress.”

that is all.

@ breezy00

That’s completely understandable.

Man that was comedy at it’s finest!!!

Have you every been to High Point? It’s really Southern. They’re just making fun of letting folks know that their only concern is the green dollar bill. They are probably all friends who came up with this stupid idea that has all of you in a frenzy about nothing.

CREATIVITY AND ADVERTISING ON THE CHEAP!!

LOL. It does it’s job and stands out. I love how they throw the hispanics in at the very end.

I think this is meant to be a joke…

LMAO @ throwing hispanics at the end I thought I was the only one who noticed like wtf- throughout the commercial they looked uncomfortable as hell shaking hands but the commercial is funny

This is ignorant. Unfortunately, right now I am about 10 minutes away from this place (for school). Black people willingly participate in this type of stuff and think it’s funny because they really don’t know any better. In 2009, they still feel “less than” whites.

I kinda wanna say it’s ignorant and janky, but really, I don’t live there, I don’t the “market” (isn’t that where Fantasia’s from?) and the bottom line is they’re saying we don’t care who you are, we’ll take your money. I wouldn’t have dreamed up this ad but….

It’s obviously a goof. It’s way too absurd to be taken seriously. Reminds me of one of those bits they do on ‘The Howard Stern show.’

Racial or not their products look like cheap crap.

hahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!
i just DIED!!!!!!!
RAINBOW/PUSH COALITION GAME PROPER

Are you f-cking serious? No, really. This was a joke right? Please, somebody tell me this is a joke!!!

Well said Johnny. People from up North trip me out sometimes.

AT THE RED HOUSE

i guess i should be ashamed to be a north carolinian, but i’m not…all of us here in NC know folks like this. i should also be ashamed to say i think it’s kinda funny, but….

I’m from NC and I promise we all ain’t that ignorant. Thats the most stupid commercial I have ever seen!

i thought that was the funniest thing i have ever seen.

@LOON(i’m done LOL)

yea red house, where n*ggers and crackas come to shor. SMH

i’m mad at how Big Head was shaking that white ladies hand like she had swine flu… he didn’t even bother to grasp it…
…………..LMAO!!!!!

I am emailing this commercial to all my friends…This is too funny to keep to myself…I can’t stop rewinding it…” Where white people and black people buy furnitureeeeeeeeeee”…

please. Brilliant. Yall talkin about it ain’t you. Bet their sales increases 200% at least and it’s a recession.

The commercial was stupid, but I didn’t find it offensive at all. Just can’t get that damn Red House song outta my head now.

OMG!!!iam so ashamed to live in high point nc riight now….backwoods to the highest degree…i move to high point from nj several years ago and belive me ive seen and heard worse since ive been here…..but i gotta say that was funny as hell…..lmao!

_blank stare

huh?! seriously.
i live in Raleigh, NC. smdh.
lol! huh?!

ROFPMSL – Only in America!

You this whats wrong. This is the world image of equal world. We being able to be in the same place at the same time. Does not mean we are equal. There is wayy more to it…..Wake up people.

@ jusme2 –

trust me, if u livin’ Hi Point, u aint seen the backwoods yet! lol, u prob think the BOONE PROJECTS is country!

I’m visiting NC right now! Maybe I’ll go check the Red House out… *sings at the Red House!*

hahaha i love this

That it!!!!!

………………………………………………………That’s it!!!! 2 little piggies and some bald head black guy. I am a New Yorker I have never been that far south and never will.

Sad.

……………

I’m from NC also and I’ve never seen this commercial. Call it backwoods if you may, but High Point is deemed “The Furniture Capital of the World”. Several First Ladies have bought furniture there and they gross millions when they hold their bi-annual Furniture Market. The commercial may have been a little ignorant , but in no way does it represent us.

WOW!!!

Gee,i thought they were of another race until they made it known that they was black/white!! True born IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
