Reid backpedals over ‘Negro dialect’ remark about Obama

Reid backpedals over Negro dialect remark about Obama. Mark Halperin and John Heilemann have started a game of media hot potato with a comment set to be published in their new book "Game Change". Already, the U.S. Senate majority leader has gotten burned.

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) on Saturday found himself on the defensive after the two reporters revealed that he once described then-candidate Obama as "light skinned" and lacking in "Negro dialect," which Reid thought would give him a boost in the polls, they wrote.

“He was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama - a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’ as he said privately," Hlaperin and Heilemann reported. "Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination."

A remorseful Reid was quick to jump out in front of the significant gaffe, telling reporters, "I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments. I was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama during the campaign and have worked as hard as I can to advance President Obama’s legislative agenda."

He added: "I have worked hard to advance issues important to the African American community."

It is consistently amusing to see the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties have contests to see who is more retarded.

Negro dialect is pretty bad, but the motherfucker IS piss-colored, there shouldn't be any argument about that.

[PotVsKtl]

You're real dumb.

[Monklish]

Wheres's Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson? This is far worse then what Imus said

In what possible way is this far worse than what Imus said? There's nothing overtly insulting about it, it's just an outdated terminology, you dipshit.

[ELECtROjan]

do u really not think "lacking negro dialect" is worse than "nappy headed hoes"?

[Monklish]

... no, absolutely not. Maybe I'm weird, but I think generally when you call someone a ho it's worse than saying they lack a dialect.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I think you kind of have to be an asshole to say "negro".

[Monklish]

No doubt. Or just old, which commonly makes you an asshole. I think you have to be a pretty big asshole to call a women's basketball team nappy-headed hoes, too.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Right. Imus was also fucked up.

[bmack86]

You're not weird, you're logical. Nappy Headed Hos is straight racist. Lack a negro dialect more sounds like someone trying to be 50s PC, which doesn't fly too well in the 10s

Exactly.

Let's get Ally in here to speak for all black people on which is most offensive. But if you're old enough "negro" is kinda still a term. Shit, old black people sometimes still prefer it.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

What if he said "colored"?

[Monklish]

Seems about equivalent. It's more old hat than really racist. "Nappy-headed" on the other hand has a pretty obviously dismissive racist tint to it, especially when it's completely irrelevant to the subject matter.

Now if he'd said lacking a ****** dialect, well, that'd be different.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Gasp.

[Monklish]

Audible gasp.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Stop braiding me.

[Monklish]

Somebody should have braided those nappy headed hoes.

[ELECtROjan]

haha

how many old black people do you know??

[Monklish]

732

[malcolmjamalawesome]

[Alchemy]

RACE WAR!!!

[caco0283]

Exactly

[psycobetabuckdown]

'tard? Yeah he said "negro" that's it. The rest of what he said is true, consider that?

[Monklish]

Besides the fact that I used to roam around Newark and Camden in areas where I was the only white person not copping, when I was living in LA I did a lot of work for these elderly/impoverished outreach centers in Inglewood and Long Beach full of toothless black folks. Toothless from age, not from blackness. One thing I can tell you is the motherfuckers sure don't use the term "african american."

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I find "tard" more offensive than "negro".

[Monklish]

I find "Cunt Features" more offensive than both.

[Alchemy]

Wait a minute...
