Chris Matthews, who is a serious early contender for the D bag of the decade award has jumped ahead of the competition with his analysis of President Obama’s State of the Union address. If Obama is able to win another term, Matthews is a shoe in for being the D Bag of the decade. I mean 8 years of Matthews falling over himself and gushing like a little girl whenever he hears Obama speak. At first what I believed to be was Matthews just being the gayest man without actually being homosexual, with the “thrill” that shot up his leg when he heard Obama speak at the DNC in Denver back in ‘08, has turned into just reckless douche baggery. After Obama’s speech Matthews commented, “I forgot he was black.” Or in other words “if I close my eyes, I’d swear that n- was white.” What Matthews said was absurd, and just down right stupid. If this had been a conservative white pundit the media would be looking for the tallest tree and the shortest rope to hang this fool. But because Matthews is unabashed in his gushing love for Obama, we just console ourselves knowing, that Matthews is Matthews, and he’s just a D Bag. As Matthews was trying to say something insightful and be overly dramatic as he typically is, he revealed a serious flaw in American thinking in regards to race. To comment on how a black man is articulate or doesn’t carry that negro dialect is backwards and uncovers our still divisive thinking and stereotyping. Matthews needs to restrain himself and gain some self control when he talks about Obama, and he needs to look in the mirror recognize the buried racist that lives within himself, the same one that lives within many people and just try not to be such a D Bag.
