All you need to know about Chris Matthews is in this analysis:
Chris Matthews: “I’ve always said to this people who are tough on the racial front… Just think about it if you are examining your conscience, what do you want black people to do? You want them to grow up well, raise their kids well, pay attention to their kids, raise them well, accept your responsibilities as a parent. Do everything right, this family has done everything you’ve asked them to do. What more do you want, before you’re gonna vote for a black guy? What more do you want? The guy’s done everything, he’s worked his butt off, he’s been a good father, a good citizen, he’s paid attention to his country, he’s devoted his life to his own community back in the South side of Chicago, he’s taught people how to be, how to behave, he’s done everything right. Give the guy a break, at least think about voting for him.”
Think about it, then perish the thought!
The fallacy is his recounting of the black family. Many are not like that at all, and kids literally don’t know if their father is not really their uncle. Many know that they have half a dozen half siblings in the neighborhood. Boys shun school and don’t work hard. They screw with petty crime and drugs and don’t go to work. They make sure however to claim the Earned Income credit, the reward for barely working.
