Democrats use racism, welfare and entitlements to get minority votes. When the one thing that will lift them up is education and personal achievements. Obama is enriching everyone in his party and his cronies with taxpayer funding he has robbed from us all.
Hope and Change really leads to more hoping and more votes for the Demrocatic Party and more taxes for the White middle class.
I don't see a problem with his comment or the apology. Are you trying to intimate that blacks do not have a different way that they talk? For some blacks that is just the way they talk. Others seem to turn it on or off depending on who they are talking to.
I hope you are not trying to say that this is not the case. One would have to be oblivious not to have noticed. In fact, sometimes I can't even understand blacks when they talk.

Actually the term "negro" along with "colored" is no longer used to describe some one who is black or african-american....except in certain cases where it would be difficult to change like, the United Negro College Fund or the NAACP. I find that to be at least part of the reason to give an apology.
Biggest question is how did we get people like Reid in seats of power?
Lack of term limits is how.
Harry Reid is a tool. Come November it's gonna be Sha na na na, Na na na na, Hey hey hey, Good Byeeeeee Harry. Hasta la vista, don't let the door hit ya on the ass.

Good GOD, SPIN as I have "almost" never seen spin before!
WASHINGTON – The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.
Reid apologies for 'no Negro dialect' comment - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100109/ap_on_el_se/us_obama_reid - broken link)
Reid is a product of podunk, Nevada, so no surprise here. He used a word that showed that he's not quite up with modern times or his place in it. Says more about him and his ilk than it does about President Obama. Besides, he was right.
If Barack Obama looked like Wesley Snipes, he would not have been taken seriously. If he talked like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, he would've suffered the same fate they suffered. I don't think Reid is a racist, just outdated, out-of-place, and ever more closer to being irrelevant.
In the mean time, President Obama is doing a great job and he continues to roll.
Just because a Democrat said that... <shakes head>
I wouldn't call Jeff Davis the ultimate example of racism (he was a man of his time, he even believed in gradual emmancipation). But you must realize that the Democratic party of the late 70's (even if it had Jimmy Carter in it) is not the same Democratic party of today.
Well, he should not have said this and he apologized. End of story.
He was right, but he also should know that you can't say everything out loud. However, Americans don't elect bums. No matter what their color is, when you can't express yourself properly, then you can't win a presidential election.
Isn't it so enlightening to hear how the liberals talk about each other behind closed doors?
Yes it is.
