Main Content First African-American gov: Reid should apologize to America - POLITICO Live: First African-American gov: Reid should apologize to AmericaJanuary 10, 2010 Categories:Leadership.First African-American gov: Reid should apologize to America The nation’s first elected African-American governor said on Sunday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) should apologize to the entire country for his comments about President Barack Obama’s skin color. “The Reid apology should be to the totality of the American people,” said Doug Wilder, former Virginia governor, on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The unfortunate thing is that one snippet … illustrates the need for more open discussion about race.” Wilder was referring to comments that were published in a new book, "Game Change," in which Reid is quoted as having said that the president had a good chance of winning the 2008 election because he was "light skinned" and had no "Negro dialect." Wilder was first elected to office in 1989. “State of the Union” host John King said he covered that campaign and asked Wilder what he would have thought if King had said, “You’ve got a good chance of winning because of your skin color.” “I would have thought you were from another planet…that you were not aware of real Virginians,” Wilder said. “Obama wasn’t elected because he was or was not of any color.”
