The New Black is a Rich Raced White Woman?

According to Tina Fey, during a Saturday Night Live skit, hard core professional raced white women are the new black.

Fey suggest that raced white women such as hard working Hillary Clinton are taking a backseat to African-Americans like Obama. Fey is suggesting that raced white women will find themselves behind Latinos, if Texas and Ohio does not get behind Hillary.

It was just a comedy skit, right? Right!

TF: I don’t think so. I did the same thing when I was younger. I never sat down and watched the evening news. I’d get all my current events from Letterman or SNL. You can get some good information that way. If you watch The Daily Show all the time, you’ll have a basic understanding of what’s happening in the world. Besides, I think a lot of young people don’t just watch comedy shows to stay informed. They also want to be guided on how they’re supposed to feel. I guess that’s what we do, to some extent. We have a liberal bias, obviously, and that’s very much the tone of Update. But then again, a lot of Young Republicans watch the show, and I don’t think we’re converting anybody’s political views. I don’t know, I have very mixed feelings about it. I loved Will Ferrell’s Bush impersonation, but sometimes I wonder if it might’ve helped Bush win the election. As much as we were making fun of Bush’s stupidity, Will also managed to make him seem almost charming and sweet. I would have voted for him. Who doesn’t adore a lovable loser? And that’s not the way to pick your leaders
