Soledad O'Brien sucks in to trip up a sexist guest - I enjoyed watching her at work

CNN Anchor Brilliantly Tricks Her Sexist Guest Into Accidentally Endorsing Racism On Live TV
This is a perfect example of why you should always ask where a quote comes from before you agree with it. This guy only intended to be sexist (and boy is he ever, especially at 1:34) but by underestimating Soledad O'Brien's brilliant ability to make ignorant folks eat their words, he walks straight into her trap and accidentally endorses racism, too.

His argument clearly had nothing to do with race. He did not endorse racism in anyway whatsoever in that video.
