It would be funny except for the people making
the commentary. </div></div>
I thought, at first, your question was if the commercial itself was racist?
But now, I'm not so sure.
Are you asking if <span style="font-weight: bold">the commercial</span> is racist? Or if the idiotic <span style="font-weight: bold">commentary</span> on that page below the commercial is racist?

No-o-o. I wouldn't say the commercial is racist.
I would, however, admit that the commercial portrays on stereotype that, while real, is hardly indicative of all balck women... or even most black women. It merely portrays one kind of black woman - the kind who gives shivers to the kinds who aren't like her.
I also personally would have found the commercial just as funny - if not even more funny - had the white couple looking at the yak been a black couple.
I didn't personally read the white couple as "white"; I just saw them as other people... but I'm sure that I <span style="font-style: italic">might</span> see it differently if I was not white.
Then again - might not...
I can't say.
