Limbaugh said that the media was propping up Donovan because he was black and the media want desperately to see black QBs and black coaches succeed. How can that be a racist comment? He didn't say blacks suck at QB or coaching. He didn't say anything racist about blacks.
If I say that affirmative action is desperately trying to get blacks to succeed in college or the workplace, is that a racist comment?
The truth is that the media do notice skin color and they do push minorities -- and as well they should -- that's a huge market they ought not alienate. But it does lead to exaggerating some minorities' abilities.
