Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

"Meet a Black Man"

I'm not sure what that guy's point is. Is he protesting the fact that other black people are not choosing that town for their ski vacations? Is he trying to make people feel bad for going skiing, instead of touring downtown Detroit?

Like Scout said, it's the comedy troupe "Improv Everywhere", generally considered one of the best at pulling off "flash mobs" and performance art groups.

The "Meet a Black Guy" booth is just tongue in cheek humor that there aren't many black people in ski-towns, just the way it is. There's no bigger (or angry or PC) point being made, just trying to be funny.

Think "The Onion" meets performance art, and you'll have the idea.
