  Coke had a run of classy and funny ads this year. I'd say they had the best overall add line-up of all advertisers with multiple ads. This one is classy.

  Very nice commercial. Executed in a respectful and classy way. The song really caught my attention. Would some one out there know the name of the song or the artist who performs it? I would like to buy a copy of it.

  I get so tired racial awareness in society. Aren't we all trying not to be so seperatist in our new P.C. doctrines? If white people were to try to have a white history month or a white entertainment network they would be shut down before the ink was dry. Sorry, just venting.

  bfordagain, what do you think practically every channel on television is? Every channel is for the most part white entertainment. There are few minorities even represented in television, so one commercial referring to a minority shouldn't affect you so much. I agree that there shouldn't be one month dedicated to black history and instead it should be taught all year round, but at the same time when do minorities ever get talked about in history except for slavery and civil rights?

  Now this was a classic. I loved the background music. They should have went all the way to the Superbowl about the two coaches being the first black head coaches to be in a superbowl.

  I LOVED this commercial. It was respectful to the contributions of Black Americans in history. I recently was instructed at work to remove a button worn during the celebration of MLK National Holiday that stated " I LOVE BEING BLACK" because it was offensive to others. Thank you Coca Cola for appreciating Black History.

  Can one infer that the ending of this COKE commerical "especially today" refers to the 2007 NFL Super Bowl Black Head Coaches? Why not just salute them by name. People will buy your products if they like them anyway. I do.

  they should have finished up with, "2008 first black president?" but that might be a little too political...

  I would imagine that the Super Bowl ads were made
  
  well before it was known that both coaches would be black. I don't think Coca Cola should be faulted for not showing that. The ads are extremely expensive and they would need to fine-tuned ahead of time. I loved the understated ad myself.

  It was OK. The whole especially today part wasn't nescessary. so what if there are 2 black head coaches in the superbowl. I find that normal. It was a good statement commercial otherwise.

  to be fair, Coke has as pretty spotty history with the african-american community. Some of that his highlighted in this parody
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=100UuQqIjl0
  
  and it's important to note for this dialogue

  Did ya'll not see the very last message before it cut off? It said "Especially today" meaning the 2 black coaches in the Super Bowl. Besides, two weeks is more than enough time to add one line to a commercial I would think...

  Kudos for Coke. A class act in an arena where some ads were less than family oriented

  Both of the quarterbacks were white, and what about the offensive coordinators. We should sue somebody. The NAACP supports Hillary over the black Osama Obama, what's up with that. It's about the money, get a clue. It's obvious that there's opportunity regardless of color, get over it!!!

  The tune in the ad is a song called "Tiny" by Smokey Hormel featuring Lee Allen, off of an unreleased album - "Let'Em Blow". Very difficult to find. Both artists were in a group called "The Blasters". Lee Allen has passed away, however, Smokey Hormel is still alive.
