I think that he just did not know anything about Barry Obama. Saying something regarding a "Negro dialect" about Obama who is half-white, raised in Hawaii and Indonesia, has never been around many uneducated black folks, just shows how stupid Harry Reid is. Is Reid racist? Is he Democrat? Kinda proves that he is, amiright?

And you need to make the poll on the budget where you can pick every choice. All need to be slashed by half. At least. I guess the brightest idea would be to cut higher education, since we had an increase of 10% last year in enrollment, something tells me that it is much too cheap for the market.

well...it is a racial issue to live in America. dont know about all those conspiracies about Obama being a REAL american or not, but I do know that the President can do very little unless he/she invokes a national emergency like Bush did, declare war , declare victory, and retire.

As far as the budget cuts do , I agree with the previous post, except I would be cutting education in JPS by 50%, since they are doing a half ass job.

Life goes on.

Reid passed the acid test for racism.....

He supports Health Care Reform

Break it down. Reid said;

"Light skinned"? Yep.

"African American"? Well, we'll say whatever floats his election boat.. Anyway,

Finally, Reid said, "doesn't have a negro dialect unless he wanted to have one"? Um..he doesn't.

So what's wrong with what he said?? Because of the word negro? Or because he implied that African Americans have a certain dialect? Is someone REALLY trying to say with a straight face that all African Americans sound just like Obama?

Or is it because he implied our country might not be ready for a president that looks and talks more traditionally "black"? So. Perhaps that's a reasonable ponderance.
But apparently if you utter the word 'negro', you better be ready to resign from whatever rank you hold since it's now a "racial slur". I don't use it anyway, but someone should probably alert the United Negro College Fund to change their letterhead, then.

The question is, can you condemn one, (Lott), for what some view as implied racism, and ignore it from another..

MAYBE, it's all something called a freggin' opinion that's being expressed, and everyone should grow a backbone and take it. OBAMA did.

Yeah, but Lott got run out for stating his "opinion", you know.

Seems a difference between poorly stating the obvious...light skinned...doesn't have an accent which would scare white folks... and saying that we'd been better off if Strom had won the presidency in 1948...Strom being an avowed segregationist most of his political career if not in the sack. And, then, there's Trent hobnobbing with the White Citzen's Council.
Better if Republicans just attack what Reid said and not draw comparisons...it'd play better.

Agreed. I'm sick of the whole game where whenever someone says something off-color or tasteless, then its to the barricades to crucify that person, regardless of which side it is.

Harry Reid should receive the exact same treatment by both the senate and the news media that Trent Lott received. Of course he won't because it is apparently OK for Democrats to say whatever they want but Republicans get crucified for the same thing. And people really have to ask the question if we have a double standard in this country? Give me a break!

Can anyone just laugh at the damn video?

Sorry, Kingfish, I never saw the video until I turned off the AD Block Plus on Firefox. It was cute.

KF, the video is funny...SNL is actually pretty good again.

9:03 If Trent had decided to run again, he'd have been reelected. Indeed, voters in a state tend not to like it too much when one of their own is attacked by outsiders for a " hoof in mouth problem"...especially if the attack seems excessive or unfair. He may be a dumb SOB but he's their dumb SOB.
Reid was in political trouble in his state. I expect this poorly thought out attack will help him.

"You married a black woman,[moving up] but in the past you dated white women [still moving up!]."

I laughed at the video KF.

He should at least have to go on BET and apologize.
