Topic: Race Baiting

President Barack Obama stated his commitment to ensuring Americans believe they are equal under the law, a phrasing that drew scrutiny for focusing on perception rather than legal reality. Public figures including Charles Barkley and Sheriff David Clark have criticized the administration, with some accusing Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder of being race baiters.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews and former Mayor Willie Brown suggested that the Republican pursuit of Eric Holder has an "ethnic flavor" or racial motivation. This is characterized as a "race card" strategy intended to mobilize black voters for the upcoming election. The segment also confirms that the "Gold Stupidity" clip was previously aired in September 2011 on episode 343.
