High five on giving Halle Berry an Oscar and electing that black president, America! Now that racism is over, we can all get back to doing what we do best: eating cheeseburgers and masturbating. Simultaneously. Right? Well, of course not. W. Kamau Bell’s one-man show takes on the myths and hypocrisies of “postracial America,” from “tea parties that look like casual Fridays at Ku Klux Klan rallies” to “the state of Texas deciding that the only good history book is a Whites Only history book.” Bell’s comedy is wise, personal, and fearless. Oh, and bring a friend of a different race and one of you gets in free! (Annex Theatre, 1100 E Pike St, 728-0933, 8 pm, $20)
