Chris Matthews does it again
When you listen to Chris Matthews speak about President Obama you get the distinct image of a man so far up the rear that daylight is hidden. Perhaps that is an opinion I just have, but I find it to be accurate. And it would explain the following comment.
Isn’t it wonderful that Matthews forgot President Obama was Black. I assume that he was watching the television with his eyes closed and I fear what else he might have been doing as he listened to a voice that sends tingles along his legs. But that just is insulting in every aspect.
And he just kept going with it. President Obama is post-racial, as America is now that he has been elected. And all the “tribalism” has eneded.
Ok, step by step. I think that anyone that can see realizes that President Obama is Black. Which has nothing to do with his ability to speak, lead, or set policy for the nation. After a year of President Obama in office I think that all but the most ignorant of people understand that being Black is not a restriction to leadership, the Presidency, or anything else.
What is Matthews trying to say? That if he realized President Obama was Black he would have hated what he said? That Congress, the Supreme Court and the Military leaders would have booed him and called him the n-word throughout his speech? What kind of a back-handed compliment is he trying to make?
And then it gets worse. Tribalism? You mean President Obama isn’t running around in a loincloth with a spear in hand? Is that what Chris Matthews expects the President trqavels around the world speaking to world leaders in? Is he really equating the Presidency of Barack Obama to a Tarzan movie?
For the record, and to help Chris Matthews understand, when I criticize the policies of President Obama (or praise them) it is because he is the President of the United States. It is because he is the leader of this nation, and the buck stops at the top. It is because of the affects of these policies, which also affect the broad spectrum of nationalities, races, and religious diversity that is America.
America is not a nation of tribes. African Americans do not go about in loincloths. We are not the images of Tarzan, nor is any African or Black in the world today – if ever we were. That is just the westernized false superiority high-on-the-pedestal view that some few hold. It’s an insult to any person of color as it infers some lesser quality to us due solely on the basis of our skin color. I would expect such a comment from the KKK, but considering the effects of the Liberals and Democrats on people of color in the past 40 years I’m not surprised it came out the mouth of Chris Matthews.
With the endless cheerleading, and complete lack of objectivity, I wonder why anyone continues to watch MSNBC if they are not actively in the Obama Administration? More to the point I wonder how anyone will continue to watch Chris Matthews. He may not be a racist, but he surely has a racial quality akin to countless neddle pricks while smiling.
President Obama is Black. Deal with it. It’s the least important and most useless fact in the existence of his Administration. And he doesn’t need the back-handed comments of Chris Matthews.
