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. Bakari Sellars, an African American Obama supporter, and MSNBC's Lester Holt, also African American, were the two panelists on just before me. I thought those three segments together were some of the best talk about race in this race I've heard yet. I'm sorry you didn't hear it that way.
