if you fail to see the racism, realize that the products advertised are stereotypically associated with black people. Since the ad characterizes these items to the black race, it is racism.

Reinhart, it IS racism because they specifically label the items as [black items], saying that that they are characteristic to the race. Associating specific characteristics (stereotypes) to all people of a specific race IS racism.

Culturally and stereotypically it is generally understood that items such as "pork ribs" and "cornbread" are African American food items. Since Giant is associating those characteristics to the black race, racism exists.
