Sarah Palin, Madonna and More Win ‘Racist’ Awards on The Daily Show

The Daily Show’s Senior Black Correspondent Larry Wilmore presented the 1st Annual Wilmore Awards last night to honor “outstanding achievement in breaking down racial barriers that nobody asked you to break.” On the occasion of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, Wilmore thought it was the perfect time to “honor the progress we’ve made as black people,” especially since the NAACP Image Awards keeps nominating white people.

Below is the full list of winners:

The NAACP Image Awards: “For giving black artists yet another chance to lose to white nominees at the very ceremony invented to honor black artists.”

The “I’m So Colorblind, I Don’t See Black People” award went to the Washington, D.C. grocery store that ran this ad welcoming Howard University students back to school:

Sarah Palin was awarded the Victim/Oppressor Role Reversal award for her MLK Day Facebook post telling President Barack Obama to stop “playing the race card.”

And Madonna took home the Best N-word Dropper for her Instagram post that called her own son “#disn*gga”:

But before he left, Wilmore had one more award to give to Jon Stewart himself.
