Dr. Boyce: Harry Reid’s Silly Remarks
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had to backpedal and apologize very quickly for a private conversation he had with Barack Obama during Obama’s presidential campaign. In the discussion, Reid stated that Obama could be a successful candidate because he is "light skinned" and that he speaks with "no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Two journalists, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, made this assertion in a book to be released next Tuesday.
"He [Reid] 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. Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama’s race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination," they write.
Harry Reid should not apologize for telling the truth. Why are some people afraid of the truth?
Neb-maat-re if only you could be a little bit clearer as to why he shouldn`t apologize.
Not that his apology changes anything though,because he only echoed the pervading bias lurking in every crevice and corner of the “white” establishment which will eventually fizzle out of this world with the help of such platforms as yourblackword.com
