BEYOND BLACK

"It  doesn't matter if you are black or white " these are the words of Micheal Jackson.
However according to Guinness it does.
Their  global campaign is # MADE OF MORE.



Now their African campaign # MADE OF BLACK


The African Made of black comes with a commercial which shows black Africans watching black football in a stadium full of black Africans and black football players.
The next scene is a black African man putting on red paint on his face to go and support his black football team.
Guinness African campaign is not success by any measure with an undertone of racism.
While the world is # Made of More ,Africa is #Made of black.

Guinness is black that is a fact. Africans are black.
Another fact is that AFRICANS DO NOT DRINK GUINNESS BECAUSE IT IS BLACK.THEY DRINK IT BECAUSE IT IS A NICE BREW. # CHOOSE BLACK is the campaign they are running as they show English premiere league football matches. The campaign will not make Africans drink more Guinness.

  Guinness rise above color.
 Color has nothing to do with it.Should Africans not drink Milk because it is White.
.#Made of black is a poor thought out campaign.
 If they were going for inspiration then #Made of more is a good campaign.
