Soror, I am sure this will start an interesting debate, however, this e-mail smells like an Urban Legend.
For example, didn't Tom Joyner/Travis Smiley go thru a "thing" with Comp USA and aren't they supposedly reformed? Most of the companies listed don't do mass advertising so it is no wonder we don't see many commercials. Also, doesn't Magic Johnson own franchises in Starbucks? I beleive I have seen Lexus, Weight Watchers and LifeSavers with Blacks in their commercials.
I would also hope that any Blacks that are employed in decision-making roles within these companies would speak out if there was such a policy in place.
