What Chris Matthews' "I forgot Obama was black for an hour" statement really means.

I could toss off some wry comment about this ridiculous comment by Chris
Matthews, but the fact that he had no problem stating this on the air raises an
interesting question -- what is he really saying with a statement like that?
What it boils down to is that there's something about being "black" to forget --
such as um, being articulate, or educated, or perhaps in his mind, standing up
there and doing the whole SOTU thing in the wake of a whole lot of white
guys and guess what? He's not all that different from any of them.
