From The Colbert Report May 6, 2009. Stephen salutes Byron York for his column at the Washington Examiner: The black-white divide in Obama's popularity:

Colbert: Mr. York and I have tremendous respect for the opinions of African Americans. Except when they make it hard to measure the opinions of actual Americans.

That's why I think, for accuracy's sake, polls in the future should include the standard disclaimer, "plus or minus black people."

By the way, a lot of people called York's column offensive. But if you eliminate people who hate racism, it's not.

Can you help us out?
