MSNBC's Chris Matthews Under Fire for Racist Comment
By Eugene McCormick. Published on 01/28/2010 - 2:59pm
MSNBC's Chris Matthews is under fire for a comment he made after President Obama's State of the Union Adress. The host of the show Hardball said following the speech:
"I was trying to think about who he was tonight. And uh, it's interesting. He is post-racial, by all appearances. You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour....
MSNBC has refused to comment on the matter. Here is the video:


Comments
Chris Matthews IS a racist because he still thinks in terms of skin color and like the jerk he is, he engages his racist thoughts before his brain can catch up. Why those fools at MSNBC still pay him to be on their pathetic little cable channel is mind boggling, other than the fact that it is a pathetic little cable channel and they can't sell that air time to a slicer dicer infomercial. The few viewers they have are probably about as stupid as Chris Matthews so they are good company to each other. No self respecting channel would hire a moron like Chris Matthews, he stupid people a bad name.
Way to go Chris.....knock us back a 100 years. Regardless of how you feel or how populare you THINK you are, he is our President and needs to be treat with respect! People like you are why we are slowly becoming divided..........so much for me, my family and friends ever having anything to do with MSNBC...not as long as you are there.
Chris Matthews flip flops on his topics from praising Sarah Palin's book and slams Obama when he feels like it. He gave Sarah too much free air time and promotion her stupid book. He interrupts his guest and he is so arrogant and rude during his interviews. Yes, his comments about Obama is racist. Also he repeats all the time of his experience working in Washington during the Carter era. Who cares, it is not the same Washington. He is pathetic.
You are confused... Chris has never praised Palin. But he has over and over again attacked her. And Matthews is by far Obama's biggest fan. He only said that so he could call Republicans racist. I'm sure if Obama was White, Chris wouldn't of voted for Barack Obama. It is pathetic and racist.
Holly Smookes?
Axually, Its is peeple lyke you that puts us bak 100 yeers.
You`re grammar remind me of what is must have ben like bak in the 1920s when the pilgrims landed on the friggon moon!
Here is a thought for you, read a book!
What matthews thinks is that Pres Obama was like a white man for an hour, it's people like matthews that divides us racially. How many times has he apologized for his racist thoughts?
he always seem to think he has to help us out ,people like him that try make us feel inferior. i suspect it's intentional...
i dont care if OBAMA'S GREEN! it's the constitution i'm worried about!
White Democrats are always trying to hide their racism yet it always seems to slip through.
Chris Matthews has never been ready for prime time!
MSNBC must be so very proud.......
I almost forgot that Matthews was an idiot.
Come on really... Imus on MSNBC say a few not so attractive black female basket ball players had nappy hair and he almost got deported ... I dont like imus...
Harry Reid says the President is a light skinned black man ... he gets words of praise..
Mathews who is definitely a racist ... who wanted president obama elected because he thought "Its Time a Black Got Elected" HIS WORDS not based on the content of his character like MLK would say...
Its so offensive but nothing will happen to Mathews you watch NOTHING WILL HAPPEN and that just goes to show what this is all about...
Not Content of Character ... but Who Can Do What for you ... who can push the agenda or get votes... not who is a good person or is best.
Chris Matthews was saying that Obama has transcended race. Obama has made similar comments, he said something about how he is not a black president, he is THE President.
Watch all of his comments, not just the one, and stop being so sensitive.
Mathews remarks sound similar to, "Gee, that speech was so good I thought a white guy was giving it. Then I remembered it was a black guy. Wow! I was shocked and amazed that a black guy was capable of this."
This type of off-the-cuff stupid remarks is why the president insists on using a teleprompter. ;)
Yet again, another product of a Catholic high school in the South (and heavens ! a Catholic college in Massachusetts), who apparently missed the message of the religion supposedly the basis of those schools. Bad enough his comment was un-American, but now it's obvious, he's not that terrific a Christian either.
I wonder, does Chris ever put down the gospel reading and declare, "Gee, I almost forgot He was a Jew!" What happened to the Catholic schools who taught me? Did they get racist when the nuns left? Or because the cranky old men stayed?
BTW: Did anyone tell Chris that the calendar pictures of Jesus with blond hair and blue eyes are not authentic? Even Mary had dark skin. (It's true; sister told us.) :)
Well, I think that this was a Freudian slip that he made subconsciously because he is a "closet racist"(someone ,usually a white person, who is a racist but will never confirm it publically when confronted) . If Beck, Hannity, or ANYBODY on the right had made that comment, they will have to show up to testify at congressional hearing. Oh well, OK maybe it won't go that far, but with all the non-legislating that has been going on in congress these days, I wouldn't be surprised.
I think it is crazy to call his comment racist--he was talking about President Obama being POST-RACIAL...which is when WHITE PEOPLE don't see black first, then man (or women). Like with big stars in the sports world! Now, if we could only get them to see us all that way, whether we were president or basketball star, the world would be a much better place!
Somebody else makes a racist statement and Matthews and his kind at MSNBC are all over the story. Say nothing and the "no comment" is news. But let one of their own like Matthews make an incredibly stupid statement and the entire network clams up. Man up Matthews and go on camera--preferably on a real network where a few folks will actually see your apology.
He is most deffinitly a one sided so called news caster. A racist I dont no. He had a republican on who said social security should be redid for people under 55. Christ keep saying social security cuts by republicans. The man said under 55.I think people under55 should be working. I believe most folks feel this way. And the Dems. say they are on the side of working folks. i donk think so. Maybe folks that dont work @ wont work is more like it.
I love your show if every one love this country and
Our people black and wite as much as you do and respect our president like you do we wouldn't have this discussion shame on them
i dont care if OBAMA'S GREEN! it's the constitution i'm worried about!
Chris Mathews is not racist nor were his most recent comments. His words were poorly chosen and left him open for this huge amount of backlash but if people weren't so emotional about this topic and could actually think about it objectively, I don't think anybody would be calling him a racist. All he was saying was that it shouldn't matter that Obama is black. Now that might seem obvious to you, but right before Chris's racial comments Obama's race was the topic of every form of media thanks to the book "Game Change" and the potentially racist comments stated by Harry Reid and Clinton, so his comments were even currently topical. Racism is not dead and we should never stop opening dialogues about it, lest we forget.
Railroading people that actually have the backbone to talk about racial issues, especially when they are not apart of the race being spoken about, only stifle equality and education. Even if a person is racist it's better that we allow them to speak their mind so that we know of the problem and hopefully can change their ignorant view points.
How many times has he apologized for his racist thoughts? But he is shameless!!!
Oh ,and when Joe Wilson said the president of the United States a lying,on national TV speech,the wingers all flew to his side,or when Ensign was caught with his drawers down,they came a flying,and Vitter the Craig,and Folie,and the family value party.See Steel saw this as a chance to distance himself from his week of blunders,of him telling the GOP to F-Off if they don't like it.Harry said some dumb shi! no worse then what the right says,in there coded messages,you know,he's not one of us,he's dosn't have the same beliefs as us,or some of the signs the Tea baggers held so proudly.At least Harry didn't hide behind Jesus and say God told him to say it,and God would understand and forgive him.Harry asked for forgiveness,and Obama has agreed,but the racist party will keep hammering away,I guess it makes them feel better about it.

I am very glad that I find your regular post here. Which seems to be very important and it made good time pass for me. I will always give a nice thrust look in to you from my bookmark feed. I don't actually comment and don't like to spend time in typing the comment. But here I have to do this because this deserves a good like. laser hair removal.
Chris Matthews don't interrupt your guest so much. Allow them to speak. I wish you the best. Many people still prejudge people by race. My 87 yr old uncle says everyone notes the race of everyone else. To note is one thing. To assign value, ability, position, worth, capabilities,etc. Based on the "package" which is the external perception does a disservice to us as human beings who belong to one race, the human race. Americans need to get it together. People up in arms because of our president's race. Most white people have some black blood some where in their past. Most American black people have some white blood in their past. Most people have all kind of racial diversity that they are not aware of. We all share this planet and it is up to us to be "our brother's keeper". If not, we are going to totally blow it. The greedy, deceitful rich should pay mor taxes. The banks and the supreme court that allowed our politicians to be purchased to do their 'the corporations"' dirty work of less regulating,like the 14 or more chemical plants in Louisiana that are poisoning the environment, and ruining the health of residents, many who happen to be black. God is just. Read psalms or whatever your religion tells you. The bottom line is to treat others as you would like to be treated. Give peace a chance. Love your neighbor as yourself. United we stand, divided we fall. Back in the 40's in my segregated 18th avenue school, being taught by Jewish immigrants, escaping europe Nazi Germany, teaching us little black kid, they taught us songs like "One world built on a firm foundation, one world built on a foundation of peace, let no mortal man , stay the master's hand in a world where war should cease, etc. They taught us so much of love of unity. I am and have always been, post racial. I have a strong reaction to stupidity and injustice. ( my perception). As you can see I have strong opinions. I have compassion for the under dog. I grew up in Newark, new jersey in segregated housing. It was great ,because we were never exposed to the fact that we were somehow supposed to feel inferior. we never did. Cleveland Jr high was the first time we went to an integrated school. we got along great with our multiple-racial classmates. we were blessed and encouraged by a women who formed a group for New Jersey youngsters ,first called the Jr Leaguers, but hen changed to the Leaguers incorporated. her name was Mary Burch. Her husband was a doctor. She was in the board of education. her home was burglarized. She caught the culprits. Did not call the police. Gave them cocoa and donuts. She decided to start the Leaguers. the burglar, mentored by her husband Dr. Burch, became a cardiologist. congressman, Donald Payne from New Jersey was one of her Leaguers. she had many successes since we had fundraisers for college scholarships,etc. the bottom line is all are capable. Use our strengths to unite us not our differences to divide us. my name is Virginia. I was known as Ginger.
