Disgraceful appropriation of MLK's memory "We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of RACISM, MILITARISM and ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION are incapable of being conquered. A nation can flounder as readily in the face of moral and spiritual bankruptcy as it can through financial bankruptcy." Spend your corporate $ on people
I'm an African American male and a huge believer of Dr. MLK's philosophies, but I think he is probably looking down at this very moment unimpressed. At $120m you could have given 500 black kids full 4 year scholarships or even built 10 community centers in the countries highest crime areas. With all the schools, libraries, streets, postages and even a holiday, King will never be forgotten. Too many black kids are gunned down to spend money on such nonsense. This wont get us to the mountain tops.
@andersonmom4ever1 As a black man, I can't agree with you more. You exactly mentioned what needed to be done. Dr. MLK would say, "No don't build me anything, use that money to enhance the black neighborhoods". No doubt.
I don't know why aphyd23 and fireman12888 have any thumb ups. This is a beautiful message, it is not crap, and equality is entirely within the hands of people. If we decide that it is impossible to be equal, then we shall never be.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL! I hope that MLK's message can one day become true and that people making all these stupid comments realize that no one is superior.. I know a lot of colored people are sure more successful than some caucasians!!!
@fireman12888 Why should ignorant racists be allowed to exist in this day and age? I think that because you believe this you are not equal to MLK or anyone else who is trying to get along. I have had many Black students and find them to be equal to any white, Asian or Middle Eastern people in intellect, creativity and body.
@fireman12888 The only difference whites an blacks have is physical where your born determines how a person speaks talks what music they listen to food they eat etc.If a white is born in a urban area its likely he'll listen to rap and speak ebonics"black" if a black is born in the suburbans he'll most likely love pop and ununciate his words with proper diction"white" his dream year by year comes closer to a reality LOVE WILL WIN IN THE END MY BROTHERS AND SISTER DARKNESS NEVER DEFEATS LIGHT
I have a dream that one day my 3 little children will live in a world where they are not judged by thier skin color, but by the content of their character.

Based on financial considerations, it is unfortunate that this statue was "Made in China." Chinese granite was used eventhough there were petitions from American Granite workers and Human Rights activists. Lei Yixin, an artist from the People's Republic of China, would carve the statue. Why is it that China and not American workers not involved in this project...this "American Dream" project.
Gee, I can't SEE any Native Americans or Mexican Americans in this table AD. WHY? The narrative keeps erasing Native Americans and Mexican Americans and some are more prominent (in AD/media) that you would think we were in another continent. Thanksgiving Day, there is no mention of Native Americans, in Civil Rights there is no mention of Mexican Americans yet history/legal cases are there.
@PEACEOMPAZ I and my black bf both think that the old man at 0:51 looks Native American. Sounds like you are just looking for something to get mad about. Plus, IT'S A CAR COMMERCIAL. You probably should not be taking it that seriously.
@mawmaw - agreed, New Orleans is well represented! Two scenes were also shot north of Lake Pontchartrain, where I live (the "Northshore"): the tree-lined shore is in beautiful Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville, and the barn painted with the American flag is in Lacombe.

@aphyd23 yea i dont see how you think this is nauseating..lol Plus, how is shoved in your face? Because it's a commercial on tv? just turn the channel..
So if he has a dream that someday people will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, does that mean it's time to end affirmative action, preferential hiring, quotas, and all the other gimmiedat BS?
blah, blah, blah, blah. lets just keep recycling this regurgitated vomit over and over again. No more Chevy's (or GM for that matter) for me. They make crap cars anyway
Contrary to the saintly public image that the mass media has constructed of him, Martin Luther King was a plagiarist, a communist and a hypocrite. If you want to learn the truth about MLK, go to Google, Copy/Paste "The Unknown Martin Luther King" into the search bar and click [I'm Feeling Lucky].
What the hell has this got to do with a car dealership? Ok, they want to attract African Americans but there are other ways of doing it than a purely simple "multicultural advertisement." It's just a bit odd...
sadly its just a dream the tea party & the republicans have proven that racism lives in american politics they accused him of not being american, they accused him of a communist health care another lie all this fighting for one reason. HE'S BLACK. that's the only reason. everything that MARTIN LUTHER KING JR died for was for nothing cause decades later the haters are splitting our nation further apart look at the 2011 august vote they(conservatives) almost destroyed our nation
King was murdered by his handlers because his shady dealings (being caught on tape beating protitutes) would sully his saint reputation and he meant more dead than he did alive at that point. King was a puppet was a dark side that's why his FBI files are sealed to this day.
Brings so many emotions to me.. Equalitiy... The good and bad are in all races, so treat others with love and friendship..No one is better than other. Love this video!
Chevy, Please run this commercial on ALL TV Channels!!!! This is a wonderful tribute to MLK. New Orleans is well represented in this commercial. A shout out
ANYWAYS, i love this commercial. I like it's message of the table and everything--the concept
