MSNBC abandons GOP convention during every speech by a minority
Take a look at the diverse MSNBC panel:
With the exception of Nikki Haley (of Indian descent -- and only because they probably didn't know), NBC's page of video clips, from the Convention, only carried speeches by Whites. Mia Love and Artur Davis gave two of the most impassioned and dynamic speeches of the evening yet, nothing...No Davis, No Love.

Maybe this explains it:
Republican National Convention puts a brown face on a white party

I think it was rabid Chris Matthews that used the term "racist dog whistle" to describe what he viewed as the nuanced way Republicans express their racism. And, every time a minority represents the Republican Party, they're called sell-outs, ignorant, tokens, or worse.
Ask Mia Love, Artur Davis, Nikki Haley, Brian Sandoval, Sher Valenzuela, Ted Cruz, or Luce’ Vela Fortuño if they are tokens or if they are conservatives.
Because of new media, political forums and social networks, tactics such as were exhibited above, have less impact but, are telling, none-the-less.
A couple of days ago, James Taranto, at the Wall Street Journal, countered by saying something to the effect of, "If you're hearing a dog whistle, that means you're the dog."
It's becoming increasingly apparent, to me, that people such as Chris Matthews are the racists.
