Don't you dare. There are some of us who have to live with the repercussions of all the race baiting (for votes).
I raised a successful black man - now middle-aged. I cannot imagine what it would be like raising him now with people telling him the world is out to get him and every slight is proof of it.

Race-baiting pisses me off so knock it off it's damaging people who are struggling in the real world.

She did nothing wrong. The blame all goes to NBC/MSNBC. This reeks of racism.
