    How shameful. I guess the Snoop Dogg pro-genocide ads, the religiously extreme hate-speech church ads, etc, wasnt enough, so we had to get a few more famous black and brown faces to really reinforce to all the struggling folks that AMERICA DOESNT CARE ABOUT THEIR PLIGHT.

    Why is this even on a music forum? Are your mods, admins, and actual NI staff just giving up? Yes, Im sure there is a M+ in the frame, yeah, so ethics? Morals? What are those?

    This was not a political post. Although one could argue that this year in particular everything is political. I just wanted to point out the use of an NI device in public.

    So, ethics, morals, politics, genocide and all the rest. I could rant, rave, discuss and talk about those for many hours. But i do that someplace else. This post is not about that.

    For context: I am an educated black man with an american father that emigrated to germany in the seventies. I know all about prejudice towards minorities, lots of history and politics and i am flabbergasted about the crazy/stupid times we live in. Once again - this post is not about that.

    If your post is about a white nationalist celebration of the worst elements of western society, well known to be on display during halftime shows and commercial ads and during the game itself, your post is OVERTLY political and upsetting.

    Promoting a NI product and ignoring the ONGOING TRAUMA OF BILLIONS is a quintessentially american, western behavior, and is of COURSE enraging for many people. Something to consider.

    Then again, I guess ignoring trauma is also a quintessentially British, German, basically western behavior, as well. Come to think of it. Well done everyone. Sports is just too important to give a damn about trauma (while the game is on), right.

    This is Native Instuments music forum, the post is about a musician playing Native Instruments equipment at a huge sporting event. I don't see any political intent in the original post.
