Saw the commercial here in N. Alabama - it was very funny and clever. Racism never even crossed my mind. I would have never thought about it unless it was mentioned in the media. I have not heard one explanation to date about why exactly it is 'racist.'
LOL.....I saw the ad and thought Ford was lighter skinned than the actress!
Supposedly it's racist because white men don't want to see their white women flirting with black men...according to those who said it was racist, it will make people who may have voted for Ford vote against him, cause he's got white women interested in him.
