Here's the problem with reid's remark... let's take reid's language and translate it into plain English... "light-skinned with no Negro dialect unless he wants one." This means: If you talk like a black man, you're not a good candidate. If that's not inflammatory, then I don't know what is... can you imagine the firestorm if Rush or is Hannity said that? But, let's break it down... First, the mind set is reflective of racist politics, he's accusing obama of take a "negro dialect" and turning it on and turning it off whenever he wants to... let's look under the hood of this statement and see what it really says... reid is also saying that any black person would be at a disadvantage if he couldn't turn his "negro dialect" on and off at will, and this also means that any black person who speaks differently would not be a good candidate for President... this is clearly a racist remark, what if Rush Linbaugh made that comment, or if Mitt Romney made that comment? Do you think it would be dismissed so quickly? Not hardly... there are many people who have all kinds of accents, but why point to blacks? And why call their accent a "dialect?" Any why use the word NEGRO? Isn't that telling you something about reid's mind set? When was the last time you heard that word? But, let's invert the statement and see where it takes us... a white man who speaks with a "negro dialect" would not be a good candidate... how does that sound? I could go on, but why bother, and please don't pretend you can't see the point... GZ
