This video clip is funny, but Colbert misses the other racist statement from Rep. Steve King (R-IA). Sure, he claimed that payments for the racial discrimination of black farmers was just "slavery reparations" from a "very, very urban president." (Gee, I wonder what he meant by that?)

But there's more:
"The fraudulent claims might be, well Johnny, yeah he was raised on a farm but he wouldn't help his dad. He went to the city, became a drug addict, and when Daddy needed the help, Johnny wouldn't come and help his daddy," King said in a floor speech Monday night. "But now his daddy's died and Johnny wants the $50,000 that comes from the USDA under this claim."

After all, we all know that those people are just drug addicts and criminals, right? Why should we real Americans have to pay, just because we cheated them all those years?
