Video: Racist Coca Cola Street Billboard Ad in Atlanta

Is this Coca Cola Ad racist?  This young black student thinks so.  The billboard ad depicts 3 individual faces in front of various Coca cola company beverages.  The white male represents Coca Cola and the white female represents Sprite.  In the middle is a black male who is representing Grape Powerade!

I didn't realize Grape was so associated with black people--I always thought RED---yes, the flavor, red--was the black stereotype for drink flavors.    But now that I know that grape drink is a black stereotype I do think it's racist.  Check the video below.
