Melissa Harris-Lacewell on Rachel Maddow, 4/29/09

Damn!  Melissa is SEXY!

Yes, it IS 2009, and that is why Dr Lacewell is right and you need to grow up.

This is the real world. And in it the white supremacists and racialists have gone nuts. You don't know --or care!-- how loony these people are. How many death threats and hate crimes have been committed since he announced his candidacy?

I know truth hurts, but getting mad about it doesn't change the facts.

You're right. I'm a white southerner and I hear all sorts of hateful things some white people say.....wishing Obama was dead or someone would kill him. I don't agree with the racial bullshit, but it is there, it does exist and for white people to pretend it's all better now since we have a black president is ridiculous. One man respected doesn't mean racism is gone. It simply means he's probably 40X times better than any white man just because he got the job.

Melissa, did you REALLY say this? This is 2009...........not 1809.
