What Chris Matthews said was inappropriate to utterly wrong.

He misused his microphone to remind people "BY THE WAY, THIS PRESIDENT IS BLACK." Why?

Some of us do not see color Chris. Unlike you, we really listen to the words, tone and body language.  The color is not a factor in listening. It never is.

I hope you, Chris Matthews, do not interpret people's words with a lens colored differently for different people. If you do, you are perpetrating racism.

Your comment was insensitive at best and racist at worst.  I am more inclined to think it is the latter..  The nation was watching - you had a LOT of audience - and you reminded them that this person is black.. just in case they too forgot, is it??

Newsweek has renamed the title of this video post in RCP
