During “Hardball” on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews took on the daunting task of calling out all the “racist” things conservatives say, which, according to him, constantly “trickles out” every week. For anyone who is keeping score, the words “monkeying,” “watermelon,” and the phrase “shuck and jive” are all racist, the host revealed.
“The blatantness of this thing, I think, went through the roof the other day when Sarah Palin, who people have mixed views, put out a Facebook post titled ‘Obama’s shuck and jive ends with Benghazi lies,’” Matthews said to his guest, syndicated columnist Clarence Page.
“A dog whistle is a dog whistle. A trumpet call is another,” he continued, adding that “shuck and jive” has an “ethnic connection.”
After explaining the history of the term and mentioning that it originated in the South, Page said it disturbed him more that Palin was “jumping to conclusions” regarding the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission on Benghazi.
“That’s just paranoid politics,” he said.
But Matthews was sure it was just racism. “When you keep doing this stuff like — look at this Thompson, the kid of Tommy Thompson,” Matthews said. “I got nothing against Tommy Thompson, but he’s raising his kids wrong when the kid shouts out at some event that…[Obama] is from Kenya.”
Matthews said the racism just “trickles out” every couple weeks. The MSNBC host even found a way to find racist undertones in Donald Trump’s statement that Obama was “monkeying” with the unemployment numbers when the rate dropped to 7.8 percent earlier this month.
