Chris Matthews on Obama’s State of the Union Address: “I Forgot He Was Black”

Am I the only one who isn’t shocked and offended that Chris Matthews forgot Obama was black during the State of the Union address?

There is a racial divide in America; just look at what a big deal it was for a black man to be elected president in the first place. At least Chris Matthews doesn’t have his head in the sand about it. Inadvertently or not, he revealed what was going on in his mind, and possibly in the minds of other Americans of his generation, and it was a positive shift in thinking. Let’s not chastise him for it.
