Perhaps there are keywords in his speech that were picked up by the programs that choose ads and it so happened that they had Oreo as one of the sponsors associated with those keywords. I would hope that the folk would know better than to associate the two, trying to send subliminal messages. I think that all falls into algorithmic taxonomy.

An oreo is someone that looks black and acts white. Similar saying for Asians, "twinkie" looks yellow or asian but acts white. Makes me nervous. I am so glad that Black people have not been questioning his "Blackness". I hope no subtle messages were sent with that ad. I would not want to make an Oreo comparison or even slightly suggest.
