Yo T-Dog. Me And The Homies Went Rollin’ Down to Chi Lake

OK, so Chicago Lake liquors is an “urban” liquor store with low prices. Why? Because “urban” people can’t afford higher prices? Because suburban white people are cheap and have no problem traveling to “urban” space to get their freak on? Because you can never get enough Crystal or Hennessy?

Aside from all those potential cause group-style alarm bells, this campaign for Chicago Lake Liquors from Brew is not afraid to go all Vanilla Ice on us with every over-done white-guy-goes-black tactic in the book.

Oh this campaign’s got it all. Fat minivan-driving dad goes gansta. Jive talking white boys caught by angry black woman. Refined white dude gets all “pimp tight.”

There will be two reactions to this campaign. Laughter or outrage. Pick one.

We hope it’s laughter. Why? Because white people are white and black people are black. When one tries to become the other, it’s funny. It just is. OK? Deal.

The people others describe as having “good energy” usually aren’t doing anything mystical, they’ve quietly built three habits: naming what they noticed someone else did well, letting a silence sit instead of filling it with their own story, and asking a second question instead of stopping at the first
