Is it too much for Chris Hayes to hope that DC will be 'taken over by a master race of beautiful black people' when Joe Biden is inaugurated?

With Inauguration Day less than two months away, now seems like a good time to revisit past Inauguration Day takes.

Or, rather, one past Inauguration Day take in particular. This one from MSNBC host Chris Hayes, pre-Twitchy, a couple of days before Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration:

Washington has been taken over by a master race of beautiful black people. I wish they'd all stay.

Screenshotted for obvious reasons:

Hey Chris care to elaborate?

You should definitely elaborate, Chris. We’re dying to know what you were thinking when you wrote that.
