Just when Americans thought its past history of racism had been laid out to pasture, Cliven Bundy and Donald Sterling appeared to remind them of their naivete, said The Daily Show's Jon Stewart in his Monday night broadcast.

In a segment titled, "The Amazing Racism," with the title pasted over a map of the United States, Stewart took a grand total of 10 minutes to lecture his audience about how all Americans, except Stewart himself, secretly want to put on a white sheet and do some "high tech lynching."

To illustrate his point, Stewart highlighted the recent controversies surrounding racist comments made by rancher Cliven Bundy and Donald Sterling. The comedian first mocked any American who holds the sentiment that "things have dramatically changed" since the 1960's -- a view espoused by Chief Justice John Roberts when the Supreme Court struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act back in Summer 2013 -- and then cited "evidence" to prove them wrong.

According to Stewart, America is still racist not because it institutionally discriminates against black people, but because fringe groups living in the middle of nowhere put plastic Easter eggs containing "white genocide" messages on random stranger's lawns this spring. Stewart neglected to point that the many (white) recipients of those eggs were just as horrified and disgusted by those messages as any righteous, clear mined person would be in such a situation. Would people have reacted the same 50 years ago? Where answers to such complex questions are needed, Stewart provides only punch-lines.
