12. It's likely race has a lot to do with Condi and Colin's presence in Bushco |

: they provide plausible deniability for charges of Republican institutional racism, as lampooned by Bartcop's and The Rude Pundit's use of the term "House Negro" to describe both of them.
As their race is quite possibly part of the reason for their presence in a whites-almost-only power clique, it seems to me that race is fair game here.
Look, it is not racist to use the fact of race in a mocking manner; Condi has huge, widely spaced front teeth, and she is an African American. Both traits can legitimately be used in the service of edgy satire.
Effectively outrageous social satire by its nature flirts with the outer edges of what is "permissible."
I suggest you relax, enjoy and laugh a little.
