Thank Gods for Rachel, correcting the record. When Pat made that comment about how "White Folks built America" I could almost see red! I was thinking, what about all the slave labour, that enabled those white folks to get the power that they did! Good on Rachel for putting Pat in his place on that!
I'm a big fan of Rachel Maddow and she did a great job of fact-checking in that segment. But the last thing she said disappointed me. Her "one more thing..." didn't past muster.
She stated that Pat said, ""The US track team in the Olympics... they're all black folks"
When in fact he said, "If I look at the US track team in the Olympics, and they're all black folks, I don't automatically assume it's discrimination"
She did well up until that point. She shouldn't have clipped his words!
