Since the first Democrat caucuses and primaries began in January, there has been a consistent media theme that it's acceptable for blacks to vote for Barack Obama because he's black, but racist for whites to vote for Hillary Clinton because she's white.
On Tuesday's "Morning Joe," MSNBC's Pat Buchanan exposed how utterly absurd and hypocritical this view is even as the Washington Post's Richard Cohen actually defended it.
BUCHANAN: A lot of my voters, white voters, they're very bitter at the kind of comments that were made about the people in West Pennsylvania and like that, and they're saying, "What are you talking about? They're voting for that fellow because he's African-American, we're voting for our folks." What's wrong with that?
