Well, while Harry Reid is a first class snake and deserves any "stuff" that is thrown his way, there is another way of looking at what he was saying.
And to put my comments in perspective I am a white male, almost 65 years old, raised in a smallish (40,000) town in Arkansas. So I am absolutely no apologist for the worm.
But I thought about what Reid said. Unlike others I think he was saying more about the electorate than any racism on the part of himself. To me he was simply saying that a light skinned black who spoke like a white was more likely to be acceptable to a majority of the electorate than a dark skinned black who spoke the "black dialect". That's not so much racism as it is realism.
The interesting - and sad for the Dems thing is that the Dems, for the most part, don't take that approach to his comments but are circling the wagons like he!!, stonewalling at every chance. Rather comical in that they had such a plausible answer - other than reminding the electorate of the cold, hard facts - and could have blamed the attitude of the electorate on the Repubs.
Just goes to show you they are really not as smart as they think they are.
Cheers to all,
Nasreddin Hodja
