Sends out a message about stereotyping to white viewers

Question

1. Does "Needless to say, a commercial such as this also sends out a message about stereotyping to white viewers" want to say "it is true that the protagonist of this advertisement is black and it is all about black people, but it also talks to white people who make these stereotypes about black people"?

2. Does the yellow sentence mean "On the one hand, this advertisement shows the stereotypes as very superficial tools for the identification of people and, on the other hand, this advertisement neutralizes the threatening aspect of these stereotypes (the aspect that humiliates blacks)"?

Context:
The Mars Blackmon of Nike commercials is also a caricature of the consumer dupe who needs symbolic goods to confirm his/her sense of identity and status, wanting to know whether the shoes are the key factor in Nola Darling’s admiration for basketball star, Michael Jordon. At the same time, Lee is sending up the type of advertisement that suggests that the product will transform your life, stopping in one particular commercial to shout, ‘Hey shut up! I’m doing a commercial here’ out of the window. Needless to say, a commercial such as this also sends out a message about stereotyping to white viewers. On the one hand, it shows the stereotype for the superficial typecasting that it is and, on the other, it defuses the threatening image that the stereotype carries.

This is my experience and lessons from experience . Can you help me fix grammar, sentences,writing and shorten it?

On the one rest day weekend. That is on the occasion of approaching Tet . I had together with my friends decided make tries once experience . We must be prepared to gifts, cakes and some of gifts other.We had help poor people who have no other means of support. We had to move many places to do it. That is places in District 3 , District 5, District 9 , District Binh Thanh. It is place have homeless people or poor people where we come first in District 9 after that we were come to places remain. When we come to this places then everyone see many people homeless living here . When they see us come who here seem to know we came to give them gifts or there are people who don't know. Some volunteer groups like us came here first. I am really surprised and scared because everyone took turns taking presents instead of waiting for us to distribute them.
We did not know that a volunteer came first before us. And this is first time we did it so there are many errors when we have done this. We learned lesson that we should thoroughly understand what places we go to and what people are there and be more careful in giving gifts to everyone.
