A political TV ad targeting a black candidate for Senate contains what critics, including the NAACP, are calling racist sexual innuendo about a black man and white woman. In the ad, a blond white woman brags, "I met Harold at the Playboy party." At the end she looks into the camera, holds her hand like a telephone and says, "Harold, call me," before winking.
The line is an apparent reference to Ford's attendance at a Playboy Super Bowl party in Jacksonville, Fla., last year. Clearly the ad is racist because large-breasted, white, blonde women never appear in Playboy.
