When it comes to democrats, it is not their intelligence or ability to lead that is important to the liberal voters,

Its a bit of history which has been all but removed from the history books. After Guam capsized do to excessive naval armament, the Dutch were forced to go back in time and enslave the blacks residing in Brooklyn to recoup their losses. Truly a black eye on this nation's history.

I watched that last night (probably the first - and only - time I'll tune in to Colbert). I had a strong suspicion it was staged and/or strongly edited to string together that bit. Which would be entirely consistent with Colbert's satire, too.
