VIDEOS: super racist/sexist/unhealthy advertisements and shows, a look back

I've been YouTubing old advertisements and shows from the '50s and '60s, just for the fun of it, and am astonished at just how much acceptability standards in advertisements have changed.
I've provided two of the most drastic examples below: the first is a Flintstones advertisement for Winston cigarettes, the latter is a clip from the Looney Tunes episode "Southern Fried Rabbit," which most networks have refused to air for more than 30yrs. It makes Disney's "Song of the South" look tame by comparison.

Yes, I realize that that was the culture back then, and we're looking at history (not a modern attempt at racism/sexism), but it's still just so shocking to see. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I found it a bit funny though, lol.
What do you guys/gals think? Discuss. :)
