Jade7243, I would note that I specifically said I would NOT say African-Americans are being "over-sensitive." I did ask whether any criticism of Obama's experience had to be read as racially coded disrespect. I don't have a good answer for that question. As to MSNBC, yes, the panels can be awfully white (and male) but State Rep.
