Harry Reid is at it again...



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Harry Reid apparently thinks that Black people are supposed to sound a certain way. At least that is what was reported over the weekend, in a book "Game Change" coming out this week. While I'm all for letting people hang themselves if given enough rope, I will say again this man is a disgrace, and needs to be put out to pasture. The fact that he says that Obama had a great shot at winning the presidency because he is light-skinned and doesn't speak with a Negro dialect ought to offend Blacks and Whites, Republicans and Democrats. The fact that it was said in private doesn't matter. The fact that people are making excuses for him yet again, is what disturbs me the most. I don't care that the President accepted his apology, he had the temerity to disparage a whole race of people, by implying we all supposedly speak a certain way. How dare he!!! Last time I checked there is no such thing as a Negro dialect. Maybe I missed something, but when I went to school there was one way of learning to read, write and speak. To say we as Blacks should sound a certain way is absolutely outrageous! Since the buck stops with the President, why doesn't he ask for Reid's letter of resignation? Of course he won't do that because he needs Reid to push this garbage health care bill through. And apparently Obama owes his presidency to Reid. Where is the Congressional Black Caucus? They're actually defending Reid! Where is the supposed Black leadership of this country? They're all defending him, because the President defended him. I'm wondering; if Obama would've turned Reid away, would these people still be protecting him? Or would they dump him like a cheap prom date? Hmmm...I wonder...
