Speaking for ‘All White People,’ Chris Matthews Apologizes to Black Americans for ... Something
News Busters ^ | 7/19/13 | Joe Newby

On Thursday, limousine liberal Chris Matthews took it upon himself to apologize on behalf of all white people for unspecified transgressions.

“I’ll just tell you one thing,” Matthews said. “And I’m speaking now for all white people, but especially [the ones] who’ve tried to change the last 50 or 60 years. And a lot of them really tried to change, and I’m sorry for this stuff. That’s all I’m saying.”

The MSNBC host made those remarks in the context of a discussion he was having between one of his bosses, Val Nicholas, vice president and creative director at NBC News, and former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele about what Matthews and his guests said were a multitude of acts of alleged racial discrimination against black men. Given that context, it appears that is what Matthews was apologizing for but since he brought up the subject in talking about the George Zimmerman trial, one cannot be too sure.

At the end of the Hardball segment, a haughty Matthews thanked his two black guests “for both being colleagues of mine,” as if they had somehow done him a favor by gracing him with their presences.

In any case, we can’t help but agree with Allahpundit of Hot Air who wished “this should really be an hourly feature on MSNBC, tantamount to a regular news break at 30 minutes past.” One wonders what extreme lengths Matthews will go to apologize to what he clearly sees as the poor, utterly helpless black masses.

“And I’m speaking now for all white people, but especially [the ones] who’ve tried to change the last 50 or 60 years..."

The real bottom line is that White folks have really tried to help Black folks and they have ended up coddling them.

By giving too much we have had a regressive effect on Black society (i.e. we turned many of them to demanding children).

Now too many of them believe that it is their right to make demands and it is our obligation to meet them.

The only solution is tough love.

You want something? Work for it. Your feelings are hurt? Tough sh!t.

This entire Zimmerman case is a perfect example. The law worked just as it should have...but that isn't good enough. The Justice for Trayvon crowd want MORE.

Sorry folks.

Get with the program because reality cannot be bent to coddle you. The law works for minorities just as it does for everyone else.

Who no doubt he did not invite to his sons all pure white wedding.

"I Chris Matthews am not a racist, just keep black people away from my sons wedding."

“Matthews does not speak for me any more than Uncle Tom speaks for all blacks.”

Apparently he saw a window to make himself “King of all Whites”, in much the same manner as Al Sharpton tried to usurp power after Jesse Jackson’s fall from grace (Baby-Daddy scandal). I remember someone (on the Howard Stern show, if I recall correctly) said that Sharpton had taken over the role as “King of all Blacks”...

Prissy Chrissie does NOT speak for me; he speaks for himself and no one else — no matter what his demented mind believes.

Chris Matthews makes white people look bad. He’s an embarrassment to the race.

Good point. Matthews is the kind of Chevy Chase liberal who claims to live in a minority city and likes to keep a few negro pets, but would never have them come over to his house.

I’ll bet that that wedding was not all white. I’ll bet a lot of the waiters and janitors and doormen were as black as the ace of spades.

When John Howard Griffin did his research for his book, BLACK LIKE ME, he saw a doctor and used a few measures to appear black. He did so to see how blacks were really treated, to see the different treatment, especially in the then Democrat-controlled Jim Crow states. Today, it’s sooo much easier to pose as a black man. Thankfully, Chris Matthews doesn’t have to use any subterfuges or make any sacrifices. He can live with his lily white neighbors each night, and yet enjoy a platform with his unique insights based upon his color (black, we’re to believe). And why wouldn’t anyone differ to this man who is of the hood? Why, too, doesn’t anyone call this kook a kook?

OK Matthews, listen up. Over half the murders in the United State are committed by black men. Black - men are less than 6% of the population. Numbers on street crimes are worse...

These men were stopped - NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACK - but because of statistical reality.

If they want to be treated as members of a group that doesn't get stopped by the police, they need to help stop the violence committed by black men. In short, they need to belong to a group that is NOT KNOWN for being violent. If 50% of all homicides were done by white men with blond hair and blue eyes, you Matthews - and people who looked like you - would be pulled over more often too.

A black man is the person who introduced slavery into the United States.

Perhaps Chrissy should apologize for black people?

The word asinine was invented to describe slobbering libs like Chrissie.

I think I am going to apologize for Chris Matthews’ daddy for not wearing a condom on the night he was banging Mrs. Matthews and their knuckleheaded son was conceived.

Liberals like speaking on behalf of others almost as much as knowing with a certainty what a person was feeling or thinking at any particular time.
