Chris Matthews of MSNBC, commenting on the president's State of the Union address: "Yknow, I was trying to think about who he was tonight, and it's interesting. He is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour..."
Uh... "post-racial"? To quote from the Princes Bride, I don't think that word means what you think it means, Chris. One could interpret what you just said as "Damn, he sounded as intelligent and articulate as a white guy. Ain't that amazing!" That's not post-racial, that's just flat-out racial.
