"Here's our black guy!" See we have black people too.

They are so contrived and so transparent. And these black people that allow themselves to be used by racists just so they can get into the spotlight for awhile is sad. So sad.

The Colbert Report

He played an idiot RW host/pundit who as such occasionally felt the need to prove he wasn't a racist so he'd show a picture of him with a black guy like the one above as (ridiculous) "proof." Colbert grew up in South Carolina so he knows the racial divide issues well.

"We're pretty sure you won't believe us if we tell you the Georgia law isn't racist, but if we get a Black guy to say it, we're sure you'll believe it because we think you're that stupid.

"And we know if you say it, a while lot of white Republicans who don't feel comfortable being in a party of racists will believe it, because we think they're stupid, too."
