When it came to watching “Mad Men,” the TV drama about the ruthless, win-at-any-cost ad agency world in the 60’s, I was one and done.

The unequivocally smartest people in most agencies back in the day were women relegated to careers as assistants or maybe topping out as media buyers.

There are privileged positions and places in agencies, including creative departments and c-suites that are white, exclusive and reminiscent of the “good ol’ days” of “Mad Men.”

It’s asphyxiating Black-owned media because advertising dollars constitute their oxygen and when major brands and advertisers spending billions of ad dollars every year with everyone else but not one buck with Blacks…we can’t breathe.

Today, many Mad Men are talking the talk against racism and discrimination but precious few are walking the walk.
