The part where she pulls out her wallet and dude doesn't want her money is assurance that he's not there to take anything. Has anyone ever encountered those shady guys rolling by in a van at your bank on payday who wants to fix your dents or repair your windows? Well, the man in this video is not one of those guys, he's friendly and will even high five lil' Jimmy.
That's how I saw it. Not quite offensive, but it seems like it was made to put people at ease when a black man shows up at their door to repair their windshield.

Really. That many stone faces? Like I said, I could be reaching, but it's what came to mind when I saw the commercial.
Maybe that doesn't come to mind if you are an African American (I am), but it definitely struck me that she was a white woman and the repair guy is African American. I'm sure from the perspective of a woman who is not African American there's some subtle psychology at work there. I asked my wife about my analyses when we saw the commercial (she's not African American) and she felt that I was right.
I guess not according to NT though.
