Clearly they tried to make the little black boy look like a devil, unless they wanted him to look like some kind of horned animal. They could've shown "united colors" in a much more thoughtful way than that. Simply based on the children's expressions you can tell the advertisers wanted you to have different, opposite if you wish, feelings about these 2 children.

I guess it's just a matter of personal perception. And that ad is kinda old anyways. I think the statement they were trying to make may be something different than what is "clearly" obvious in the photo. Maybe if you look deeper, you could see that also.

What's obvious in this ad is that, there's a white girl and a little black boy embracing each other and they are thus "uniting colors". The deeper connotation shows the little white girl as being angelic with the smiling face and shirley temple curls and shows the black boy who is the exact opposite from the white girl; frowing face, dark skin, and devilish hair. If the ad was as cut and dry to most people as simply "uniting colors", Benetton wouldn't have pulled the ad like they did.

So u dont find anything wrong with the horns on top of that kid's head? It's not a haircut u would usually put on a little black boys head, if it was that would be different. They have the little girl with her hair all curled nice, while the boy is sittin there with horns on top of his head.

Aside from the fact that I wouldn't wanna see that if I was walkin down the street lol nothing's wrong with it. They're just saying no matter what color you are on the outside you're all the same on the inside, but that first ad definately doesn't say that. If you don't see a negative connotation behind that first ad I really don't know what you're lookin at b/c it can't be the same ad my eyes see.
