It’s come to this.
Via Truth Revolt:
Touré: Welcome back to MSNBC and the 2014 Racial Draft where races come together to sort out the racial standing of all sorts of Americans. everything is up for grabs today, folks. once you are drafted by a certain race, that’s your group. Who can forget the annual inauguration racial draft where this happened?
[Plays a clip from “Chappelle’s Show”
“We need a black delegation. Tiger Woods. — No surprises there; he has been discriminated against in his time, he’s had death threats and he dates a white woman. Sounds like a black guy to me.”]Wonder if they’d take him now? [laughs] Well, folks, in today’s racial draft, there’s been a lot of shocking choices. A quick recap — the white delegation, led by Krystal Ball, chose Derek Jeter and Maria Carey, while the black delegation, led by Joy Reid, shocked the world like Cassius Clay by taking the Walton’s and the Koch’s. I guess they fit, because they are on welfare—corporate welfare that is. [laughs] Let’s touch base with each delegation and get a take on their strategy. Krystal, what’s your strategy today?
Krystal: I just want to have some fun and pick some cool people. Hi, mom!
Touré: All right! Joy, what is your strategy?
Joy: Mine is attacking inequality and make up the for the dearth of intergenerational mobility by bringing real wealth into our community.
Krystal: Wait, what?
Touré: We have never seen a strategy like Joy’s in this draft—very interesting concept. Can you change race relations by radically subverting the economic structure of America? We’re going to have to see what happens. It’s time for the white delegation to pick again.
Krystal: The white delegation chooses Halle Berry.
Touré: OK. Now the gorgeous mixed race actress is 100% white. Interesting choice. Does the black delegation need any time to deliberate?
Joy: Nope, nope, nope. The black delegation chooses Bill Gates.
Touré: Wow! Bill Gates is now black! I don’t know what her justification for picking him is, but $76 billion just moved into the black community—an economic bombshell. OK, it’s K.B.’s turn.
Krystal: The white delegation chooses Drake, yello!
Touré: And you can have him. Good luck with that. OK, it’s Joy’s turn.
