 Tags: prejudice/discrimination, race/ethnicity, color blindness, colorblind racism, comedy, diversity, post-racial America, racism, 06 to 10 mins Year: 2008 Length: 7:30 Access: The Colbert Report Summary: This clip from the Colbert Report, filmed two weeks after Obama was elected president, includes Colbert's claim that "race is over" and shows Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Tubman in party hats, and a flashing banner that says "Racism: 1776-2008." In addition to being a useful starting point to ask if racism and racial inequalities are truly "over" after Obama's election, it offers a way of talking about colorblind-ness and racial diversity. In the second half of the clip, Colbert interviews Newark mayor Cory Booker, where Booker emphasizes celebrating, rather than ignoring, racial diversity. At one point, Colbert states "I don't see you as black and I hope you don't see me as white," which evokes laughter from the audience, which could be analyzed in discussion as to why people find that funny.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
