btw....It is so lame that with real KKK and Neo Nazi racism on the run these days, that people now take time to focus on inconsequential comments like this one done by Harry Reid. WOW!! You mean that the truly non racist "Black" and "White" members of both political parties who happen to contest the most on racial political issues actually have some generalized observationally drawn conclusions that they hold as true about the others community and their social behaviors?!! SHOCKER!!! LOL
This is tempest in tea cup bull crap. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that urban intercity African Americans have constructed for themselves an "urban" black accent and dialect that is pervasive now is not being an honest person. Even those who don't use the urban dialectic "street" lingo often have the boisterous loud spoken accent. It is no shocker what Harry Reid said, if Obama wasn't the president even many urban blacks who use the accent would freely belittle his speech as acting "white".
If a Republican would have said this, the outcry would have been so loud the Democrats and media would say he should resign his seat. But because it's a Democrat....what's the big deal.
So, if Obama called me pale skinned and Caucassian, he'd be a racist??? I don't get it. There are people who ARE racist AND there are those who GO OUT THEIR WAY to find it. Calling someone a Negro is NOT the same as saying to them the other N word. There's a huge difference. Unless racism is being redefined YET AGAIN in our culture.
Negro is technically a proper term. its in the same category as caucasion and oriental---its isnt racist.....unless the person saying it thinks it is haa
WTF was that???? Comone!!! HR is a loser....but.... WTF was that???? We are better than that. Ask yourself my good intentioned friend, what would Ronald Reagan post...
@prffsrx Sadly, Harry Reid is in bed with casino executives and the illegal alien community (supported by latino's) and he also has the Nevada unions in his pocket.
Reid is arguably the most corrupt cowardly politicians i've ever seen. And we've both seen plenty of those types of politicians.
Democrats are just a bunch of hypocritical, racist biggots. The democratic socialists look down & are down right biggotted & hate those whom they disagree with. Oh yea, & the democratic party led by Al Gore Sr & Robert Byrd fought tooth & nail every piece of civil rights legislation that Republicans championed.
What is so strange about saying a chinese person has chinese dialect. WTF is this all about ... it is not suprising , as 40% from Americans cant even locate their own country on world map XD

Hey, don't argue with me, argue with folks in your own party. Like George Will. He said there's not "a scintilla of racism in what Harry Reid said."

@bamboozlewatch george will is absolutely right. i don't think it's racist either. while saying that, trent lott resigned under pressure for his comments at strom thurmonds 100th birthday party which weren't even offensive at all. the problem is the double-standard. both sides need to chill out and stop being so damn PC.
It is not the accuracy of Reid's statement, but the double standard liberals use in classifying people as racists.

Well he is a Demorat, it is ok for him to say racist things. The Demorats have the Republirats so cowed it is not even funny, they will not really scream and holler. How could a Multi-culti Demorat be RACIST, it is not possible. Blacks are slaves to these guys anyway, so many goodies the Demorats toss to them.
Again, your argument is not with me but dark skinned Americans such as Martin Luther King's niece and Nevada's State Senate Majority Leader, Horsford, who took offense not only with Reid's wording but with Reid's claim, as well.
what you said is ridiculous. You're saying a "negro dialect" exists...so this implies blacks in Africa and American blacks speak with the same dialect. Also what about black people in UK that speak with a British accent...if they spoke "negro dialect" would africans understand them.
I didn't say there was some cosmopolitan way of speaking for all black people. But, to deny that there isn't a common manner of language use among a large contingent of the black population in the US is to stick your head in the sand in an attempt to deny it. Reid used a term that is no longer in vogue...his mistake. But if we don't have the courage to own up to particular cultural identities and accept some degree of generalization, we'll be arguing these points forever.
Reid spoke the truth, but chose a word that SOME find offensive.

For those who compare it to Trent Lott pining for the days of segregation, stop being so ignorant. Lott's statement clearly showed his racism. Reid's clearly does not. Reid was simply saying if Barack sounded like Tracy Morgan, he would not be president today. He could've used language that didn't offend some, but that's about it.

Al Sharpton knows what Reid was talking about, by his own admission. They live with the reality every day. Some folks just don't like the word negro.
Alveda King, Martin Luther King's nieice, on Harry Reid's comment said the following about the Reid's comments.
This type of thinking by Senator Reid and others is sadly outrageous, no matter what the ethnic or political viewpoint happens to be. We are one human race, and polarizing people because of skin color is horrendous.
If Michael Steele or any other conservative had said anything like it, the remarks would be labeled racist and plastered over every available news outlet."
Harry said Barack was "light skinned with no Negro dialect".
What did he say that wasn't true? He just used a word some folks don't like. You really think he would've got elected if he looked and acted like Tracy Morgan? Reid spoke the truth. By the way, Reid's comment WAS plastered over every available news outlet, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't argue with me. Argue with Martin Luther King's niece. For some reason she doesn't buy your assertion that dark skinned blacks can't become president or that the term "negro" in present day English is a perfectly acceptable way to describe black Americans.
Eugene Robinson, a black columnist at The Wash Post, said he was neither shocked nor outraged at Reids comment, saying, "it's true"
The black conservative Ward Connerly wrote in the WSJ that he was having a difficult time determining what Reid said that was so offensive A black columnist at The Daily News, Stanley Crouch, didn't know either.
George Will said there's not "a scintilla of racism in what Harry Reid said" asking Liz Cheney, "Did he say anything false?" Cheney couldn't answer.
u fixed news morons are nothing but a joke. repukes are now saying the dems are racist? we voted a black guy into office! for repukes to say this is calling the kettle black, you repukes are as racist as they come. funny how us dems are called racist 1 day then we are accused of trying help all the blacks the next day when a horrible tragedy occurs in haiti. well you can't have it both ways u idiots! all you repukes and Rush Limbaughs need to go kill yourselves and make America a better place!
american racism is not in the democrats, republicans, independents, or in anarchism, it is in singular people's psyche. harry reid is a democrat because of the money in it. hell he might be racist deep down but he has kept those feelings underwraps in presenting the democratic platform. i personally do not give a hell what he thinks and neither should obama or anybody else, because this is just his opinion and not how he operates in his job.
Obama is a light skinned Negro, actually a Mulatto, who has been taught by his Harvard mentors to speak like a white person so whats wrong? with calling a spade a spade. Harry Reid is correct.
If more black people spoke and acted more like the Obama's, then we wouldn't have this problem. If black people want to make more money, have better interracial relations, then first stop naming your kids LaQuiesha and Deqwantae. Second, dump your membership in "Club Black", Third, White people are not your enemy, you are your own worst enemy. Fourth, take a cue from Chris Gardner and Barack Obama........think WHITE, act WHITE and do the WHITE thing....you will increase your salary by thousands.
@MaximumCowboy you are exemplifying racist and prejudice behavior based on a steorotype. I am not a liberal and far from it but by saying act white is silly.
If any Republican would have said this they would be toast. Olbermann would pounded this just as he does with Palin. This shows Reid as a racist and he should step down from his position, just as Trent Lott. Funny these statements were not brough out during the election when they occured. Looks like the media propaganda helped the Democrats.
See his speech, he stressed all the "work" he has to complete. This is more proof of Media filtering information to influence elections and policy. Big money is pumped into media by the likes of George Soros
So Harry Reid is called a racist because he said that light skinned black people without a "negro dialect" are more likely to get elected? Even if he used a more PC word like "ebonics" he'd still be called a racist for acknowledging that racism exists. Doesn't anyone see the hypocrisy in that charge?
Limbaugh was branded Racist for less than this, Trent Lott also. This is all what party you belong to. Democrats were Dixiecrats and tried to block the cival rights act in the 60s. Those people like Byrd are still in there. This is all Politics
It's all partisan politics. Calling someone a racist is just an easy way to smear them. I've been called racist, sexist and mutha fucka enough times to not give a damn anymore.
Explain how a racially tense parody song in absolute piss poor taste, or the willful and proud support of a segregationist, compares to comments intended for praise that used questionable language.
So, then, by your logic, O'Reilly must be even more racist than Reid for his praise of his visit to Sylvia's Restaurant: watch?v=Q84eSxIiKqc - Relevant between 0:34 and 2:30, and 4:33 to 5:05
And what a difference 50 years can make. Civil Rights are headed by the liberals now.
OReilly & Limbaugh are just entertainers, Reid is senate majority leader & has a lot of power. No comparison, Reid has POWER. Liberals dont head Civil Rights they use its people, pander for votes. Byrd is still a KKK man underneath, you dont change your stripes. Well crafted propaganda has brough Liberalism to this point. It not the same idealism as in the 60s and 70s. This is why they want Fox News & other opposion silenced. Just look into the background of all the Czars to see their direction.
And now you're getting too conspiracy theory for me. Fox News stopped being a news organization the moment it promoted anti-government protests (as if it could be called legitimate news prior).
Take it from an independent who probably hates the left more than you do that the entire conservative movement has been taken over by religious zealotry and xenophobia. Reid made NO racist comment. All this is is a bunch of hypocritical, anti-left intellectual terrorists spewing hate and bile.
Every protest, march, religious, hate, gay, kkk, was reported on by all networks, excepte this one. MSNBC went out of their way to downplay the numbers & their reporters scowled when covering it. Foxs Glenn Beck did promote it but hes not part of the news. Other networks do this as well. Reid comments do not bother me but would be if he were not democrat. Im independent too & old time liberal but the left is not liberal now. More progressive, Marxist. Actions are unconstitutional.
And you don't think assholes like Limbaugh or O'Reilly or Beck don't have power? O'Reilly helped promote the MURDER to Dr. Tiller by referring to him as evil and subhuman, then denied it! What Reid did was not racist! FFS, Reid's probably the single biggest reason Obama ran for the presidency in the first place! And what does MSNBC have to do with things right now? They're not much different, but at least they aren't wearing their party and religious loyalty like a birthday suit.
MSNBC is as biased as they come. You seldom see arguments between guests like on Fox because they are Left n Ultra Left. If a Rep said what Reid did MSNBC would be crucifying him daily. I am still waiting for that Transparency from Reid on Heal Care Debate. This is just one of a string of broken promises made before their election. One good thing about this is Reid is toast in next election. I dont know how you can defend these people if you know the czar backgrounds n corruption going on.
@Texmurphy - When FOX gives 3 hours to a liberal during the day (like MSNBC does with Scar - a conservative) I'd be willing to call it even. I've seen the "liberals" on FOX - Bob Beckel yukking it up with Hannity, but never calling him out on his bullshit (on TV & his radio show). Yet I've seen Pat Buchanan on MSNBC spew his nonsense without challenge. And don't get me started with Juan Williams or Colmes on FOX. I'd love to see FOX give 3 hrs to a liberal the way MSNBC does with a conservative.
All Liberals are invited to Fox but few come because they will ask the tough question, not a pre arranged script like MSNBC. You obviously do not watch it much or you would know this. Buchanan is there as a punching bag for guys like you. Scar is there for ratings or they would go the way of Air America. Hes on the fence not conservative. MSNBC does not report on events like Teaparties, Acorn but remains silent on events that hurt Dems. & dont forget the election eave phoney story to sway votes
If Harry Reid were Republican, racist blacks like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be demanding resignations and leading protests. Besides, Dingy Harry Reid is losing support.
I didnt find Harry Reids statement to be racist. Ignorant and politically incorrect? Yes, but not racist. Ive been black for 43 years and I perceive lighter skin blacks as less threatening than those of much darker hue. The ability to speak the Kings English is more socially acceptable in white society, than Ebonics. For that reason every black person has a white speaking voice we use around white folks. This isnt about racism, but about a right wing agenda to discredit democrats.
@JohnRaytheon I tried to post on them all. Unless I'm mistaken spam is posting the same comments repeatedly on the same video.... I posted on different videos in hopes that the black perspective is heard, rather than white people trying to tell us we should be upset with Harry Reid because he made comments white people think should offend black people. Let black people decide for themselves whether it was racist. In my opinion it was not racist. Thank you
The word negro, is indeed antiquated. The fact it's used on the US Census forms this years I find much more offensive... but that a whole nother story. No I wouldn't enjoy being called Negro, as its from another time in our history. I perfer african-american, american, or black. While I do feel it was a poor choice of words by Senator Reid, I don't find it racist in the context it was used.
@DumpHarryReidNevada your use of the word boy and what was meant as a put down "boy " are totally different... boy oh boy sounds more of a leave it to beaver feel to it lol
@DumpHarryReidNevada And you Sir are a white Supremacist aren't you? It's okay I'm accustom to dealing with your kind. May God have mercy upon you your Soul.
@DumpHarryReidNevada Dude do you realize someone can have prejudices without being a racist? Prejudice and racist are two distinct words...look them in the dictionary
@jjhays36 Let me try and explain this to you.... if you hate purple people because they are purple...thats prejudice. If you think your superior to purple people because your white that racism
Like a large number of negroes you are DISHONEST. Whites commit only slightly more crimes athough they are a MAJORITY of the population, yes blacks commit nearly as many crimes despite being only 13 PERCENT of the population. Hence proportionally black people are committing FAR more crimes, and spreading their "don't snitch" culture that only leads to more.
@thebreakinghands Sir, you're talking per capita, when I clearly said the "total" number of crimes. If you check the FBI data base you can see what the "total" numbers are by race, and that whites lead most categories, some by a very wide margin.
You're repeating yourself negro, and attempting to decieve others. The total crimes are MEANINGLESS if you ignore the percentages. As you admitted, "per capita" negros commit FAR MORE CRIMES according to the FBI stats , so why are you deceving others? By making excuses for negro criminals, you are just as guilty as they; thus you're part of the black thug culture yourself.
@thebreakinghands Total crimes are meaningless? Fine if you feel that way. I don't expect anything more of you. FBI stats don't lie, go read them for yourself, good Sir.
yes, there are FAR more white people than black in this country, so the fact that whites have more Total crimes is meaningless without the appropriate calculations. You know this, but you're a lying negro. Why do such a large number of negroes resort to lying ?
@Texmurphy51 Black people can be racist. I certainly never said they couldn't. I'm not a racist, though I admit to having various prejudices, many of which having nothing to do with race.
@thebreakinghands Criminal culture? FBI data files clearly shows whites commit far more crimes "total" than blacks. Don't believe me, visit the FBI crime statistics on FBI web site.
@Georgeal40 arnt there far more white people than black people ? Thats like the city paper saying our city cops are racist cause way more get jailed than whites... yet there are far more black people living and working in the city than whites that mainly live in the suburbes...
@ssjwes Yes whites have a higher population, which is why I said "total numbers of crimes and not the per capita BS thats doesn't negate the fact that the "total" numbers show white people commit many more crimes than blacks in America, in some cases from the FBI data base the figure is some 600% higher in some categories, but the jails and prisons doesn't reflect that, nor does the news media
And Obama has already "forgiven" the comment that had it been made by ANY Republican, his buddies like Reid would've had a S*IT FIT! over it! Takes Obama literally NANO-SECONDS to "forgive" poor idiot Harry because the Dem's know they need his political seat so badly, BUT IT TAKES OBAMA 3 DAYS TO EVEN IDIOTICALLY SAY THAT THE ATTEMPTED CHRISTMAS DAY BOMBING WAS DUE TO AN "ISOLATED EXTREMIST". Gosh, that certainly is comforting (SIC!), isn't it ?
The Democratic party was born on the backs of the"KneeGrow" They tell them what they want to hear,and tak's care of there needs. Just like the plantation owners did in Alabama.
hahaha a real sucking mouth there but looks more like a fish in Lake Tahoe. You put the transparency on 100% I think because now can almost not read the text there and quartolarry's many comments lol
I want Olbermann to be next ...like Opie and Anthony once said on their show...Olbermann could be caught one day on a voicemail dropping the N-word like a dozen times. If ever I saw a latent hardcore racist, its keith olbermann. Matthews too. I just wish they would be caught
Tonight on the evening news for ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN.anchor after anchor was well as guest commentators and pundits excoriate Harry Reid and expose him as the racist that he is.He should resign immediately. What he meant to say was "The redbone doesn't speak ebonics unless he wants to". Hey Nevada aren't you roud of what represents you?

The black conservative Ward Connerly wrote in the WSJ that he was having a difficult time determining what Reid said that was so offensive A black columnist at The Daily News, Stanley Crouch, didn't know either.
George Will said there's not "a scintilla of racism in what Harry Reid said" asking Liz Cheney, "Did he say anything false?" Cheney couldn't answer.

american racism is not in the democrats, republicans, independents, or in anarchism, it is in singular people's psyche. harry reid is a democrat because of the money in it. hell he might be racist deep down but he has kept those feelings underwraps in presenting the democratic platform. i personally do not give a hell what he thinks and neither should obama or anybody else, because this is just his opinion and not how he operates in his job.

Obama is a light skinned Negro, actually a Mulatto, who has been taught by his Harvard mentors to speak like a white person so whats wrong? with calling a spade a spade. Harry Reid is correct.

If more black people spoke and acted more like the Obama's, then we wouldn't have this problem. If black people want to make more money, have better interracial relations, then first stop naming your kids LaQuiesha and Deqwantae. Second, dump your membership in "Club Black", Third, White people are not your enemy, you are your own worst enemy. Fourth, take a cue from Chris Gardner and Barack Obama........think WHITE, act WHITE and do the WHITE thing....you will increase your salary by thousands.

If any Republican would have said this they would be toast. Olbermann would pounded this just as he does with Palin. This shows Reid as a racist and he should step down from his position, just as Trent Lott. Funny these statements were not brough out during the election when they occured. Looks like the media propaganda helped the Democrats.

So Harry Reid is called a racist because he said that light skinned black people without a "negro dialect" are more likely to get elected? Even if he used a more PC word like "ebonics" he'd still be called a racist for acknowledging that racism exists. Doesn't anyone see the hypocrisy in that charge?

Explain how a racially tense parody song in absolute piss poor taste, or the willful and proud support of a segregationist, compares to comments intended for praise that used questionable language.
So, then, by your logic, O'Reilly must be even more racist than Reid for his praise of his visit to Sylvia's Restaurant: watch?v=Q84eSxIiKqc - Relevant between 0:34 and 2:30, and 4:33 to 5:05

Byrd is still a KKK man underneath, you dont change your stripes. Well crafted propaganda has brough Liberalism to this point. It not the same idealism as in the 60s and 70s. This is why they want Fox News & other opposion silenced. Just look into the background of all the Czars to see their direction.
Texmurphy51 2 years ago
And now you're getting too conspiracy theory for me. Fox News stopped being a news organization the moment it promoted anti-government protests (as if it could be called legitimate news prior).
Take it from an independent who probably hates the left more than you do that the entire conservative movement has been taken over by religious zealotry and xenophobia. Reid made NO racist comment. All this is is a bunch of hypocritical, anti-left intellectual terrorists spewing hate and bile.
Deioth 2 years ago
Every protest, march, religious, hate, gay, kkk, was reported on by all networks, excepte this one. MSNBC went out of their way to downplay the numbers & their reporters scowled when covering it. Foxs Glenn Beck did promote it but hes not part of the news. Other networks do this as well. Reid comments do not bother me but would be if he were not democrat. Im independent too & old time liberal but the left is not liberal now. More progressive, Marxist. Actions are unconstitutional.
Texmurphy51 2 years ago
And you don't think assholes like Limbaugh or O'Reilly or Beck don't have power? O'Reilly helped promote the MURDER to Dr. Tiller by referring to him as evil and subhuman, then denied it! What Reid did was not racist! FFS, Reid's probably the single biggest reason Obama ran for the presidency in the first place! And what does MSNBC have to do with things right now? They're not much different, but at least they aren't wearing their party and religious loyalty like a birthday suit.
Deioth 2 years ago
MSNBC is as biased as they come. You seldom see arguments between guests like on Fox because they are Left n Ultra Left. If a Rep said what Reid did MSNBC would be crucifying him daily. I am still waiting for that Transparency from Reid on Heal Care Debate. This is just one of a string of broken promises made before their election. One good thing about this is Reid is toast in next election. I dont know how you can defend these people if you know the czar backgrounds n corruption going on.

@Texmurphy - When FOX gives 3 hours to a liberal during the day (like MSNBC does with Scar - a conservative) I'd be willing to call it even. I've seen the "liberals" on FOX - Bob Beckel yukking it up with Hannity, but never calling him out on his bullshit (on TV & his radio show). Yet I've seen Pat Buchanan on MSNBC spew his nonsense without challenge. And don't get me started with Juan Williams or Colmes on FOX. I'd love to see FOX give 3 hrs to a liberal the way MSNBC does with a conservative.

All Liberals are invited to Fox but few come because they will ask the tough question, not a pre arranged script like MSNBC. You obviously do not watch it much or you would know this. Buchanan is there as a punching bag for guys like you. Scar is there for ratings or they would go the way of Air America. Hes on the fence not conservative. MSNBC does not report on events like Teaparties, Acorn but remains silent on events that hurt Dems. & dont forget the election eave phoney story to sway votes

I didnt find Harry Reids statement to be racist. Ignorant and politically incorrect? Yes, but not racist. Ive been black for 43 years and I perceive lighter skin blacks as less threatening than those of much darker hue. The ability to speak the Kings English is more socially acceptable in white society, than Ebonics. For that reason every black person has a white speaking voice we use around white folks. This isnt about racism, but about a right wing agenda to discredit democrats.

Like a large number of negroes you are DISHONEST. Whites commit only slightly more crimes athough they are a MAJORITY of the population, yes blacks commit nearly as many crimes despite being only 13 PERCENT of the population. Hence proportionally black people are committing FAR more crimes, and spreading their "don't snitch" culture that only leads to more.
thebreakinghands 2 years ago
@thebreakinghands Sir, you're talking per capita, when I clearly said the "total" number of crimes. If you check the FBI data base you can see what the "total" numbers are by race, and that whites lead most categories, some by a very wide margin.
Georgeal40 2 years ago
You're repeating yourself negro, and attempting to decieve others. The total crimes are MEANINGLESS if you ignore the percentages. As you admitted, "per capita" negros commit FAR MORE CRIMES according to the FBI stats , so why are you deceving others? By making excuses for negro criminals, you are just as guilty as they; thus you're part of the black thug culture yourself.

@ssjwes Yes whites have a higher population, which is why I said "total numbers of crimes and not the per capita BS thats doesn't negate the fact that the "total" numbers show white people commit many more crimes than blacks in America, in some cases from the FBI data base the figure is some 600% higher in some categories, but the jails and prisons doesn't reflect that, nor does the news media
