Stephen Colbert, the comic genius from Comedy Central, did a very
funny riff on the Sen. Barack Obama Life/Ebony/race story which I
didn't see in real time earlier this week. A colleague pointed it out
to me.
As you'll recall, Democratic presidential candidate Obama said in his
autobiography he had a memorable racial awakening at age nine when he
saw a story in Life magazine about a self-hating black man who had
done his best to bleach his skin white.
