He first played a clip of Jessie Jackson then he pointed to several articles about "black unemployment".
His comments were directed at the liberal elites and their attitude toward black people.
He was not suggesting that all black people have the same frame of mind.

Ferd, I was going to send you a PM to be sure that you saw it, but I figured that I better say this publicly. I did finally get a chance to go back and listen to the audio and frankly I am a bit upset. I hate being manipulated and deceived by propaganda of any sort. In this case it is very clear that Limbaugh's text was taken and presented out of context. I usually try to do my due diligence before I repeat stuff and when I confirmed that he actually said these words, I ran with it.
In listening to the complete context it is obvious to anyone who is trying to be honest that he was attempting to speak for the Jesse Jackson's of the world (who I still insist do not speak for the vast majority of black people but that's a different story).
The only issue I would have with this is that it seemed that adding the Tiger stuff was still a bit overboard. It seemed that that was just him rifting at that point, but the rest of the quote was clearly presented in the wrong context.
For the record, I still don't care for him much
