You have seen a black actor portray a thief or a criminal in a commercial?

Been thinking about this for years now and haven't seen one. Seems like the black criminal commercial actor is extinct.  Can anyone point one out?

Post here if you know of one.

But they still portray them in the movies. Nothing's changed there. Just not casted toward a more general audience in commercials.

Them?  I think they're all Samuel Jackson.

Does a shart count if it didn’t reach fabric?

Samuel Jackson has portrayed villain. But I see your point, It is rare. I'm assuming societal norms are evolving and being on the wrong side can cost too much audience.

Ludacris is Puerto Rican

Ludacris is Puerto Rican 

Even if that were true (sources say no), he's still of African descent.
