15. It wasn't Tweety's "entire shtick tonight"
He was on with KO and they talked about specifics from the SOTU, too. But surely you know that and are pissed off about his "epiphany".

What I think about all this is that being colorblind to race shouldn't be a goal or some holy grail. Humanity developed being able to discern as a protective mechanism. I think all life on earth does that. So not noticing someone's race is as silly as not recognizing the difference between men and women.

It appears to be important to Matthews. I agree with people who say he messed up with how he expressed his feelings about it. But I do think he was sincere. A fuckwit can have their heart in the right place even if their mouth is moving ahead of their brain. Live TV doesn't allow for enough thinking time.
