To those ready to take offense, sure. But I think other FReepers. whom I've pinged as a courtesy, may offer further insight. As for me, I don't recall the commercial being taken that way in the 1960's when racial tensions were quite high, including Pittsburgh where it was frequently played.

And Windfiler, we've sure covered the gamut of late from the Temptations to Green Acres and now this! :)
