This new work features exclusive new music from Lake Street Dive, covering Joe South's 1968 hit "Walk a Mile in My Shoes."

I understand pretty much where you're coming from brother and I felt the same way but at the same time there's ignorance painted throughout your statement you don't have to like someone to love them and for you saying that you're living in a fairy tale if you think that all of us should love each other hugs and get along then you don't have the strength to push through your ego but I'm the same way buddy as I have problems with that as well and I'm not saying you're in the wrong but it isn't a fairytale to think that all of us could love each other and get along in this world could be a better place but also a fairy tales were magical things that we were let known as a child so maybe it is a fairytale and maybe that could be reality and for you to come to the conclusion and to manifest that that isn't a reality isn't helping us and I understand where you're coming from cuz I feel the same way but it's time for us to live that fairytale brother love you family

@@dottiegold6163 It’s none of what you said. If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately and the messages coming from the mainstream media, you will recognize that the sole purpose of this commercial is to use it as a vehicle to start a conversation that has only one destination in our racially fueled society- demonize people who don’t agree with the message. Everyone is so trigger-happy to call out *anyone* who deviates from the woke agenda regarding racism and ethnicity. If you have anything negative to say about this commercial, you’re automatically labeled a racist.

Showing unconditional love for strangers is a stretch I can understand that, yet, being a decent person isn't. Can you imagine what society would look like if everyone cared for one another? I personally think it would be a beautiful thing with peoples of all backgrounds working together with one unified purpose instead of looking out for themselves. Our sense of community is what made us strong as a species, not our desire to be alone and people who only look out for themselves, are alone.

As a white straight man in America it is impossible for me to understand what it is like to be left out. I’m so grateful for this ad telling me that it’s even a thing. Thank you ad council!! (Brought to you by the ad council, a group funded by major media company’s who are known for never ignoring any kind of abuse or harassment happening in their own company’s. That’s why it is so great when they lecture everyday people and infer that your a racist, because they are so much better than you. Thank you for watching.)

Sections of this is aired in my area St. Louis, Mo. I find the motive to one sided. It’s discouraging to know that something produced for unity can encourage division. It’s portrays all the cultures being judged by the caucasian’s people. THIS PRODUCES MORE HATE. This commercial states the message that whites (including myself) are haters. This is that farthest from the truth. I care about people! There is racism in ALL nationalities. This is how it should be addressed. Giving real facts to solve real problems. Be kind and respect!

Most people get on my last nerve. They drive like their head is up their a55, they take 10 minutes to scan & pay for 5 items at the store. They use the drive thru teller at the bank when the transaction(s) they have they should go inside to be courteous to those who have a 2 minute or less transaction. Constantly texting while driving, walking, eating at a restaraunt, taking up an entire isle while shopping, asking stupid questions with stupid looks on their faces, trying to tell me how to think, saying my body my chice except when it comes to me deciding if I want poisons injected into my body, but I am still respectful to them in person.
Nice thought but the reality is humans have been separated from a very long time regardless of the difference

I have seen this go both ways mostly I think it's a language barrier because when trying to have a conversation with 1st generation immigrants their English is very limited and people have been rude thinking they are ignoring them, I know this because I have been guilty of it myself but eventually figured it out. Patience and understanding for all of us is needed but working retail with limited English is not the best job to get maybe try something else?

For the people saying that this commercial "stirs up the pot" or "adds flame to the fire", It's not adding anything but light to the issue. The fact that It's being highlighted is what makes people uncomfortable. Sadly this DOES happen. RACISM is real. Why do you think black cases have been brought up for being wrongfully accused and targeted. Or why Minorities even exist within the brown and black communities and not white. Just because it doesn't happen in your neighborhood doesn't mean it's not happening. An AD like this makes people want to talk about it and therefore cause a chain reaction to want to make things like these stop. To the Ad council, thank you.
