No Negro Dialect

Harry Reid said of Barack Obama back in 2008 that he is electable because he is:

“light skinned… with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Now that this is news, Reid has apologized to Obama and blacks.

Why?

Reid’s comment only displays his own backwards way of thinking, referring to blacks as “Negroes.” He says nothing disparaging about Obama, unless Obama resents the implication that he would use different manners of speaking to suit his own aspirations, that is, unless Obama resents the implication that he is a politician.

Reid should apologize to the American people. The soon to be former Senator clearly thinks that Americans are too racist to elect a dark-skinned politician with a “Negro” dialect.
