Tamron Hall tells Buchanan: "Doors have been closed on me because I'm a black woman"

Why does MSNBC continue to seek the advice of this idiot?

And the story here is what?? Tamron praises Pat, and says she worked her butt off to get where she is. So what is the miss info here??

Tamron,
Give yourself more credit. You are 39 years old and on a Cable News Network every day. Shuster is 3 years older and is your co-host. Many doors have been closed to every single person in the U.S. who was not born into wealth. It seems you have done a pretty good job Tamron.

Hush up, Tamron, and stop that whinnin'! You're playing the victim! Racism is a thing of the past and it's all in your mind! Stop listening to your leaders Sharpton and Jackson, pull ya'self up by your bootstraps, put that chin up and push forward. We don't need to hear about your stinkin' stories about your struggles! Everyone struggle! We have a black president now, we're beyond race, so no more stories about doors being "closed" on you!

Tamron is my future wife.

Doors may have been closed on Tamron, but they were quickly re-opened when it was realized that she's quite H-O-T!

In 2009, we are at a cultural crossroad. Obama's ascension is both a moment of triumph in American history and an opportunity for people to falsely declare racism/sexism/discrimination of any ilk a thing of the past, which oddly enough leads some to play the "reverse" racism card (there is no such thing; racism is racism, period). The idea of equality is at best an abstraction applied as equality under the law. No one would argue we are all equal in intelligence and abilities. I'm 5'5", so I get that basketball isn't my thing. But most people don't have the patience and discipline to earn a black belt or the imagination to write three books.

All I’m saying is that all of us, being vastly different, are all subject to discrimination of one kind or another. Some of it is deserved and appropriate (e.g., I don't make the basketball team), some of it is prejudicial and inappropriate (e.g., denying a loan based on skin color, creed, etc.). The hard part is discriminating which type of discrimination you are dealing with. Pat makes a good point that young minorities have only history to draw on when it comes to truly vile discrimination. I mean, a sneer from a Korean cashier isn’t racism. It’s a sneer. You can still shop there, and nobody is asking you to get to the back of the store. On the other hand, to imply that racism has simply disappeared is insincere. It has just mutated to a less obvious and less outspoken creature lurking in the workplace, the admissions office. So I’m in the class of people that sees merits on both sides of the story. But statistics don’t lie. Women still make less than men, and minorities are still underrepresented in certain professions, and one black man as president isn’t a trend. It’s a wild exception to a long standing rule.

Here's what Pat Buchanan knows:

He knows you can't let anyone talk sense if your agenda is to create a narrative out of whole cloth. Thus, he interrupts everybody, especially Ian at the end.

He's a terrible person.
