If Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner Were Black: Looney Tunes?

I just watched a Rachel Maddow clip online and...what a curious time in the United States of America: the Chairman of the Republican National Convention (Michael Steele) is black. We have indeed overcome, but is there such a thing as far having gone too far in a world where the President of the United States--and his staunchest political enemy--share a cultural commonality? Is that what they would call irony--or would it be considered some form of self-sabotage? (Am I going to regret pointing this out later?)
