This is ok, but it gets old long before 90 seconds is over.

Bath yourself in gold-dust then i'll believe you're filthy rich.

This is entertaining in a sick, kinda colonial way. But the "We've been having it" line evades me...

Yeah I take racism seriously. If it's about the mentality then why not use a white dictatorial leader . Africa has had no shortage of them. Hey if it's about the mentality why not a Nazi death camp commander and his charges running around doing his bidding. That would be a real laugh right? Open your eyes.

What did you call me again? Oh yeah, "probably black- man." Nice. Got any other stereotypical labels you'd like you use? Do you have "lots of black friends?" I suggested you "open your eyes." If you actually took that personally you must hate your eye doctor. Is he black as well?
