It's black - on - white racism that seems to be a bigger secret than when "Crazy George" is going to bomb Iran. It’s not as if white – on – black racism is never spoken about.

I don't deny things like the Tawana Brawley incident happening, but the fact that it sticks out as a name "incident" is a testament to its rarity. I don't walk around with a chip on my shoulder about white people (some of my best friends are white people - really!) but if you take black on white racism and compare it to white on non-white racism, you're going to get something a little more than fair and balanced. But that's what happens when - as August pointed out - you get white people all discussing racism. That’s pretty much just the problem there, Mike.

Back in the real world, it's pretty obvious that whites aren't the only ones who practice racism while denying they have a problem with it. (Nice little jab at the "At least I'm not a <i>journalist</i>" snobbery of bloggers, though.)

I've seen some of his other stuff and much of it is very funny (unlike a lot of liberals, I don't immediately write off all political humor that doesn't fit my ideology off as "not funny"), but this one was big time lame.
