Political correctness is sooooo boring. Someone who said that Matthews' writing lacks any "real depth," must be living on a diet of lifetime tv and mother jones news. Satire is meant to provoke--it is not meant to be taken as literal truth. This piece was funny, and just because some peeps don't think America is a racist country, doesn't make it so. Am I the only person who gets the sense of moral outrage the author is trying to convey? He is CONDEMNING America for it's inability to see past race, by using obvious racial stereotypes. He wrote a piece that pushed buttons as a means of getting a much deeper message across, and it's a shame some folks were so thin-skinned as to just feel the button-push. I laughed when I read this, but I won't be laughing when most of his predictions probably come true. It's called satire folks. Get pissed off at your lame population that won't elect a woman or a black man to the presidency. Oh, wait--I'm sure some of you are actually deluded enough to think they might! Now THAT'S funny!!!!

Holy crap this article was funny, and smart and full of stuff I've been waiting for someone to say. I thought I was the only one who noticed that Bill Clinton had a lot more connectedness with mainstream black america than Barack--Barry--Obama. I also get the real sense of tragedy the author feels in regards to the way race will play out in this election. Satire is really the only way to deal... because if what the author says is true... it will be sad to watch what they do to this guy's candidacy.
