Thanks to "moral leader" Barack Obama, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell says that more Americans now know what it's like to be black.

During this morning's MorningJoe broadcast, the chief foreign-affairs correspondent praised the president's remarks from last Friday on race and declared Obama the "moral leader of this country."

“He, first of all, taught white people in America... what it is like to be a black male,” Mitchell said.
