For a moment, let us assume that his words were 1) not spoken in jest and 2) have any importance outside of that room...
Yes, it was racist. He was speaking to the inherent superiority of one race over another (or over all others in this case). Had he said something to the effect that these awards show that black people have made significant contributions in the entertainment world, that would not have been racist. It also would not have been racist to remark that there are blacks among the most talented people in the world.
Maybe he misspoke, or maybe he truly believes that the average black person is inherently more talented than the average non-black. Even so, he is an entertainer and not responsible for any national policy. As Ron White said, you can't fix stupid.
It can be taken as racist. He may be a racist. So what. He isn't running for office. Conservatives have their fair share of racist. So what. They need to worry about getting their own party together and dealing with their racism so they can survive.
Typical liberal spin....it is okay when liberals are racist - who cares that union thugs called a black hot dog vendor the N word for selling hot dogs to conservatives...it is the black hot dog vendors fault.

Liberals can be racist too. You missed the point of my post.
Racist people exist. The conservative party has many other things to worry about. They should be concerned about racist within the party.
Typical
the loony Libs backing racism when it serves the liberal cause
Explain this bit of word vomit you hit and run on the board.
Who is "backing" racism? And what "liberal cause"?
