I think it's less out of racism and more out of generic sarcasm.

It is important to note that part of becoming a Leftist is replacing your sense of humor with an extra outrage meter.

Back after the first Gulf War, Colin Powell was widely touted as a potential presidential candidate. He had a sterling reputation, and was widely respected. Nearly everyone thought he was a shoe-in, if he did decide to run. He chose not to, because he didn't want to subject himself and his family to the raking over the coals and public exposure that go with a presidential campaign. And even if he did run, there was no guarantee. Elections are unpredictable things. But at the time, nearly everyone thought he was far and away the best candidate. And nobody really cared he was black.
Imagine if he ran, and won? The first black president would have been someone with dignity and reserve, like Obama. But unlike him, Colin Powell was a war hero, and a Republican. Which would have added gravitas, and bridged gaps. And even more importantly, this would have been more than a decade before culture wars were even a flaming pile of shit on the horizon. It would have united the country, instead of dividing. It would have proved that race is not the most essential element of someone's character, instead of becoming the most important aspect.
But no, that didn't happen. Colin Powell left behind a long legacy of service, but he was never president. And I think we lost something. Because instead of moving toward a post-racial society and unity, stark polarization and virulent racists like you dominate our world.
But in a better world, the first black president just passed away.

Funny, Pundit's video persona is all based on stoking the outrage of old school D&D players, and I don't figure most of his audience is Leftist.

I'm outraged at your lack of a sense of humor!
