"Skincare company Nivea... ad shows a black man in the act of throwing out a full-face mask which has a beard and an afro."

"The image is juxtaposed with the slogan 'Re-Civilize Yourself.'"

Of course, people cried "racism," and predictably, Nivea withdrew the ad. By why was Nivea dumb enough not to predict the outcry? Was it because they also had a white man ad? As if people seeing one ad would know about the other and appreciate the balance?
