What:

The W. Kamau returns! JUST LIKE LED ZEPPELIN, skinny jeans, and The Boston Celtics, racism has made a comeback in America. White people haven’t talked this badly about un-white people since Martin Luther King had that dream. And since The W. Kamau Bell Curve made a concerted effort to end racism (in about an hour) this past October, racism has redoubled its efforts. First the co-discoverer of DNA said that Europeans are smarter than Africans. Then Dog The Bounty Hunter tried to break Michael Richards record for rattling off the greatest number of ‘N’ words in the shortest period of time. Soon after that an unknown golf commentator told a good old-fashioned lynching joke about her friend Tiger Woods. And recently it’s become trendy to say, “I hate China!” Somehow in the middle of all this, America might elect its first black president… unless Fox News gets its way (See Fox’s coverage of Jeremiah Wright.) Well, W. Kamau Bell is mad as hell and he's not going smile politely anymore as his un-black friends say, "Sarah Silverman isn’t racist. She’s ironic."
