Darryl Willis BP

We just had to drop line about being fatigued with seeing the “Darryl Willis” BP commercial.. The PR team was quite predictable with finding a southern brother to do the bidding of the corporate manifestation of the devil. Oh yeah, not only is he a brother, he says he is a “volunteer”. Ooooh–the historical victim who lives in Louisiana is down with BP.

Don’t all employees “volunteer” for jobs in America? In a recent interview with Advertising Age, Darryl talks about “Mr”. Feinberg, how he is happy to be the face of BP in the commercial, and seems to use “we” a lot. (See Malcolm X on negroes who use “we” a lot in the context of grouping themselves with corrupt people when in fact they are individually are innocent). How many damn stacks are they paying you to be “happy” about representing a certified corporate criminal on TV?

For those who can stand watching the commercial again, the video is under the hood

    Blame a black man moment, whites love making black men look like they dumb as hell. Now whites don’t need to do that cause black men pitch in to make themselves look like dummies.

    Damn these uncle toms, at least have some back bone not to be the white mans scapegoat. Bet this goofball make 5 dollars an hour sharpening pencils in front of a wall.

    @ George

    Please do not attack this man! Think about it…. with the high unemployment rate amongst African American man, the dude did it bcuz he needed the money & a job! That’s y I am not mad at him. He’s trying to take care of his family! Yeah what those white crackas r doing is wrong but atleast the brotha can take care of his family. I would accept the job to if I needed money! They confirmed this on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.

    No doubt he’s doing the dirty work for this evil corp, but he will be on oprah and of course the that slime dog network fox news. he will get paid big $$$ believe that.

    I’m so glad you guys commented on this b/c everytime i see this commercial i think the same thing – like why does it have to be a brother. it rubbed me the wrong way too. but a brother gotta eat too, I guess???

  • Malika

    I don’t think he was necessarily trying to do the bidding of BP. I think that he was moreso trying to represent the people of the area.

  • WHITEY STRIKES AGAIN

    WHITE MAN IS GONNA TURN THE GULF COAST INTO CONEY ISLAND. ALL WE NEED IS SOME NEEDLES AND DIRTY DIAPERS. LOL THEY DESERVE IT. RACISTS SHOULDN’T HAVE BEACHES. THOSE ARE FOR REAL ISLAND PEOPLE. LOL

  • White Women Rule

    My God darling, must you always play the perpetual victim? Why can you not give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s doing this because he truly wants to help? You are without a doubt your own worst enemy. We are damned if we exclude you and damned if we include you. Dear try concentrating on getting the female HIV infection rates down or the illiteracy rates down. Try reporting on the distrubig number of deaths in Chicago recently and perhaps trying to come up with a community solution to stop it. For once, take the initiative as this man did and get off of your “I’m a victim” a.s.s.e.s!!! We are all affected by this spill!!!

  • her?yeahher

    yeah it was very predictable and typical that bp would use a southern black man as their”face” during this situation, but , surprisingly, I somewhat agree with WWR’s post. Let this not be another b/i/t/c/h and moan session about how “the man” blah blah blah- but rather a reminder of the dirty (yet subtle) ways that we get played by the powers that be aka “the man”- and that yeah, we still gotta keeps our eyes open and fight real dangers; violence, unemployment, stds(aids), etc.
    ps-
    that guy in the commercials probably really did need the money, but let’s hope he’ll put his kids though college or something else useful with it

    What the hell are you talking about Willis? I hope you’re getting commercial $tacks for you representing the British cutthroat and not just there to keep the blacks quiet. I hope you know what you’re doing. You can’t be the face of BP, your the Lee Harvey Oswald of BP.

    ummm wow i think i saw this on eyecrazzi.com

  • jt

    wtf it is a job. you are all racist and stupid! no one is blaming this guy.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals-I’m just too good to be true!!!

    He better milk this for what it’s worth ’cause once this fiasco is over, (trust me–it WILL be) his services will no longer be needed.

    Smh……..

  • Plug The Whole With That Big Dome

    That’ll shut down any leak (he’s got a very large head)

  • DR.FUNK

    @KEEP IT REAL:

    Wow homey…I just emptied a dozen ink pens CO-SIGNING with that rant!

  • http://bossip.com eye4neye

    Darryl Willis is a Gulf Coast resident, more specifcally New Orleans, LA. Thank you, KEEP IT REAL. Mr. Willis is doing his job but he is also sincere about what he is doing. Damn, people, stop criticizing. Whether he is making money off this or not, unless you can do better, move on.

  • Robert

    This whole system of things is ran by white people and Satan.Sports,music,and entertainment.So why are you picking on a man trying to do his job.You all even call each other the N word.You the sellouts

  • Plagueis The Wise

    This guy may be trying to help, but BP is doing foul crap down there. They have people working down there that are forbidden to talk to the press or they’ll lose their jobs. BP won’t let workers wear hazmat gear because it would look bad for them. That pure crude is toxic and people are getting sick from being around it. One last thing, BP is slow about paying people down there or not paying them at all. Eff this dude.

  • KIMBERLY LAQUISHA

    I DO BELIEVE “KEEP IT REAL” KEPT IT REAL. HATS OFF TO YA!!!!!
    MR WILLIS IS A GREAT MAN TRYING TO DO GOOD THINGS ON THE GULF COAST. ARE ANY OF THE ONE’S THATS CITIZING HIM ARE??????????? NO, SO SHUT THE HELL UP.

  • KIMBERLY LAQUISHA

    I MEANT, “CRITISIZING HIM!!

  • Proffitt

    Whether they did put this guy up because he is black or he really just volunteered, none of us know for a fact how it went down, but one thing we do need to do is focus on the issue at hand and try to lend a helping hand. Not get mad or falsely accuse someone.
