One Negative Comment + Social Media = Oops! for Chris Matthews  

Posted by Ashley McCaslin

After last night's State of the Union Address, not only were critics busy giving reviews and critiques, but social media enthuseists were busy passing along what they had to say. Unfortunately for Christ Matthews, many were listening when he said “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.”

Such a comment naturally spread across twitter like wild fire resulting in a response from Chris Matthews referring to the incident only 90 minutes after it occurred. Despite this, today the Tweets continued and the video of him and the comment are around the internet.

It is kinda sad that this became such a big deal on the internet, but with the power and semi-anonymity of the internet and the political-correctness of this country, it makes sense that people would overreact to this statement. I was a little surprised when Matthews said this as well, but his explanation makes sense. He will definitely choose better words next time.
