It is not hard to notice that the "Colorblind Society" is a "threat" to some when it portends to take away the tenuous advantage that they have constructed based on their victim status.
The same concept is a notable and lofty notion when it purports to show that the subscriber has "evolved" when it is applied in a different context.
There is no greater notion by which "trust" that the American people and our institutions have advanced is jettisoned as the regime of 'Trust but verify' is implemented with regard to the demands that we code our race on government forms so that such a notion can be legislatively enforced if the data reads otherwise.
I maintain the case that people like Chris Matthews will label the fact that 96% of all Black voters voted for Barack Obama. The indictment IS NOT that there is such a racial correlation in this vote though. Instead we should note that this vote comes after a series of PREVIOUS VOTES have erected the establishment machine that presides over the Black community into power and thus they now control the key institutions. These are the same institutions that Black grieve about. Thus triggering another round of "voter unity" with the hopes that "Trying Harder" will surpass the policy and ideological flaws that are resident.
As long as Blacks vote in a way that is favorable to Chris Matthews - we should not fear being called "RACIST" in his view.
I am sure that Chris Matthews also has "a best friend who is Black".
Please note - I did NOT say that this was a "racist" statement.
It is ironic, however, that this statement denoting "color blindness" was triggered only because Barack Obama is a Black man.
If only Mr Matthews would prevent his MSNBC co-host/operatives from seeing RACISM at each protest rally against the President of the United States and return to the understanding that this is "nothing personal" as he had when the last White man was in the office - then I would believe that Mr Matthews really believes what is says and is not merely a partisan opportunist.
