From the amazon description you seem to be right on the money with this one. I seem to recall some other tech and related ads that have used black spokespeople, but can't name them now. This one is going on my reading list. Thanks for this reference, Jim. From the amazon description you seem to be right on the money with this one.

I'm reminded of Martin Kevorkian's book Color Monitors. Kevorkian argues that images of the black technology expert circulate (in pop culture, in ads, etc.) in order to domesticate two things we fear most: black bodies and technology. Technology becomes a way to control the feared black body – and the black body acts as a buffer for technology that we fear. A perfect circuit.
