"Back to being black"

Reader RP alerts us to the following (scroll to episode 316):

And as long as you brought up the racial issue, I have to tell you, there's a friend of mine who lives in New Orleans, is black, and I wrote down exactly, word for word, what she said, because I think it bears repeating. She said, "After 9/11, I was American. Now I'm back to being black." And I think among the feathers in George Bush's resume is that I think he has lost a whole generation of black people who might have felt that way after 9/11, and now are like, "You know what? I can't believe I started to buy into that bullshit." [applause] And I think we're going to have to see a generation of black people who were born after the great fuck-up of 2005, before they start believing in America like they started to after 9/11.
