Reid's questionable comments

Reid should not have apologized to Obama. Instead it should have been directed towards the entire black population. Not because of the use of the word “Negro” but because of the assumption that a “Negro dialect” exists. Furthermore he basically states that this dialect would prevent anyone from being taken seriously. In other words, Reid does not feel that the vast majority of blacks in this country are qualified for ANYTHING.

Imagine if a Republican had said this…

The silliest thing of all in this entire debacle is watching the Republicans shed their crocodile tears over Harry Reid’s “racial insensitivity”. They’re comparing it to the Democrat’s reaction to Trent Lott’s unfortunate comments back in 2002 at Strom Thurmond’s one-hundredth birthday party. Lott, referring to old Strom’s run for the White House in 1948 as a “Dixiecrat” candidate, said that America would today be a better place had the country elected him over Harry S Truman. Trent seemed to forget that the only position Thurmon ran on in ’48 was as a staunch segregationist. Lott was forced to step down as Majority Leader – not because of his moronic statement – but because he had already lost favor with the Bush White House.

For the Republicans to now claim a newly-found racial sensitivity is quite amusing to say the least. If that is the case, why the hell did they choose the dumbest black guy they could possibly find to chair the RNC? Racial sensitivity? Please.

I think Sarah Palin would make a good Presidential candidate. She is light skinned and she doesn’t speak with a Negro dialect unless she wants to.
