Except, not really. He's making fun of you racists, which, of course, is not with his new song.
Newman said he's proud of how America has progressed, though, but adds that "there's a long way to go."
"No European country would have elected a black man," he said. "I can't believe it happened. I think it's fantastic, like a step on the moon."
Newp, no racist, he. He's just over the moon that, despite racism being "the great issue of this country", and he feels "that that sentiment exists in the country," everybody but him is in denial, "I don't know how many people you can get to admit it. I think maybe zero.", a black man was elected president in the USA. Nevermind who the black man is, he's black and that's all you need to know.
Newman, who is white, is openly supporting President Barack Obama. He says he wants the public to find comedic relief in the song, but to also know he's serious about his thoughts that racism is well and alive in the world — and in the current presidential race.
