Chris Matthews Re: Obama: “Forgot He Was Black for an Hour”

Chris Matthews clarifying the clarification: I really blew it on the whole “I forgot he was black” thing, but hey…that Michelle…can’t forget she’s not black — baby got back! — sorry, I meant large protruding buttocks? no, no…a phat ass! — that’s it right?

MSNBC producers: *mortified w/huge sighs* — whatever Chris, we’re all post-racial now…

Historically, the yardstick for whether minorities are indeed being judged by the “content of their character” and not skin color, is held by the victims of racial hatred…not the alleged perpetrators, but ALL dialogue should ALWAYS be welcomed. The best way to deal w/ignorance is by exposing it to the light of day…so hearing Chris ruminate (however clumsily) is not a bad thing, and does represent major progress. Each persons thought process/background is different, and perhaps it’s not the best thing for a so-called journalist to ruminate on-air. Chris is one of O-Mans most ardent supporters (embarrassingly so) and it’s doubtful he meant anything malacious by his insensitive comments…which suggest he has no use for blacks who do not speak so-called “American Standard English”,possess dark skin or have positions of high political influence.
