[See NewsBusters for more.] On his Wednesday's installment of The Late Show on CBS, host Stephen Colbert demonstrated that he does not understand various GOP-passed laws banning Critical Race Theory in schools. After a long-winded diatribe that portrayed these laws as banning the history of racism, Colbert played a sketch a satirical ad for Taboo: White Fragility Edition.

Introducing the sketch, Colbert summed up his previous monologue, "It all raises the question: how are we supposed to discuss black history if you can't talk about the parts that make some white people uncomfortable? Well, happily, there's a new product that just might help."
