Appearing on MSNBC, Monday, to promote his new special on Barack Obama, Chris Matthews attacked “older white people” for still holding bigoted feelings against the first African American President.
Lavishing praise on younger Americans, he added, “And I think that’s a generalization and I’ll stick with it. I think younger people do not see race as an obstacle.” He then touted the “non-judgmental” attitude of Obama voters, fawning, “In fact, they say [race is] irrelevant and don’t even notice it, whereas older people notice it all the time.”
If “older white people” are focused on race, Matthews could certainly be one of them. On January 27, 2010, after Obama’s State of the Union address, he oddly alerted, “You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour…I was watching, I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s an African-American guy in front of a bunch of other white people, and there he is, President of the United States, and we’ve completely forgotten that tonight.’”

Yep. Pick a skin color. If the human associated with that skin color is a marxist then I hate ‘em.
Sorry Mathews, American-born blacks are the most bigoted race I’ve met. Foreign-born blacks, not so much.
You stay civil, Chrissy.
LLS
Mathews needs to be institutionalized.
Dear Chrissie,
You can kiss my old, white butt.
Now, go pound sand.
Thank you. That is all.
Yours truly,

OMG! He’s so stoopehd!
Oh Lord....When is he just going to dissapear?????
Civility damn it!
Gee, it can’t be we older white people oppose the Kenyan Impostor because of his communist policies...oh no....
WHERE’S the Birth Certificate, Chrissy Boy?
What do they think of Obama now?
We don’t talk about politics anymore.
Well, isn't Chrissy prejudiced!
To me, the more important point is - how can you look at a white person and a black person and not notice that one is white and the other is black? How? The whole Marxist point is to confuse the issue and shut people up with political correctness. That causes resentment on both sides and that is the purpose, ill will among the races.
The real point is that each has equal protection under the law. Just as all who are arrested and charged with a crime are considered innocent until proven guilty UNDER THE LAW and IN THE COURT ROOM. That doesn't mean the average citizen can't look at the evidence, as reported, and form an opinion. It is just that that opinion can't affect the suspect in the court room. It can affect his reputation outside the courtroom.
Same deal on the street. You can't help but notice a person's race. To pretend differently is foolish. However, you can refrain from forming an opinion of that person simply based on race. Other factors can influence you, when added to race, but that still does not mean that opinion is going to be correct.
Just for kicks, ask Chrissy Mathews if he will walk through a crime ridden ghetto at night my himself. No matter what he says we know he will not. In fact, he would accuse the questioner of racism.
Yeah, I’m sure Sissy has pissed off a bunch of old hippies, turned yuppies, along with most of Hollywood.
Um, question?! Who keeps bringing up the issue of race, Chrissy??? Who is the bigot??
It’s called PROJECTION.
