Now with 37% more Barack Obama!

Just like Led Zeppelin and the Boston Celtics, racism continues to make a comeback in America. White people haven’t talked this bad about un-white people since Martin Luther King had that dream. Since The W. Kamau Bell Curve opened last October, racism has seemed to redouble its efforts. The co-discoverer of DNA said that Europeans are smarter than Africans; Dog the Bounty Hunter tried to break Michael Richards’ record for saying the most ‘N’ words in one breath; and a golf commentator told a lynching joke about her friend Tiger Woods.

W. Kamau Bell is mad as hell and he’s not going smile politely anymore as his un-black friends go, “Sarah Silverman isn’t racist. She’s ironic.” The W. Kamau Bell Curve is one part diatribe, one part manifesto, and several parts funny. Now that The Curve has moved from monthly to weekly, it will be as fresh with as the news it skewers.
