A serious post from the satirist:
The phenomenon called “Driving While Black” is nothing new. But now the so-called Birthers have come up with a novel variation on it: President While Black. They are essentially pulling Obama over and asking him to show his license and registration.
Here’s my teachable moment: let’s not be afraid to use words like “stupid” and “racist” when they apply; let’s stop using the word “post-racial” altogether; and please, just when the conversation is starting to get interesting, let’s not settle it over a few beers.
