Reid apologizes for 'no Negro dialect' comment

Does everyone here see his use of "Negro dialect" as insulting? I think it's vulgar but I think he meant it as a sort of positive thing Obama can do to improve his chance of winning. A black politician who can't speak to the black population and win their adoration is as good as lost the election.
 
What's the big deal about talkin about the Negro dialect, people will not get upset in the South when the people in the north say "oh you talk so funny, you have a southern dialect"or when people from other states make remarks about the way people from Maine speak. I think it's a joke when the blacks like to be called Afro-Americans, if your skin is black, it's black, could it be that the blacks born in the United States feel superior to blacks born in other countries that Africa. Are they racists

This whole post is racist "speak"..

I swear sometimes I lose hope in people being caring:(
 
I agree with our conservative friends; it definitely was a foolish and shameful thing to say, as were Biden's ignorant racial comments.

I do find it odd, however, that no conservatives on this board have condemned similar foolish and shameful race-related comments made by RNC Chairman Michael Steele.




Or, perhaps it's not odd at all. ;)


Added for emphasis:

Michael Steele is a disgrace to his race and leads a party that wishes to oppress his very own peoples.

Some may find my saying it wrong but it is very true. :(
 
Steel is black. How can he be racist against himself? Do you take umbrage when Irish people poke fun at their own drinking habits? Do you get pissed when black comedians make fun of black stereotypes?

And how is using the term "honest injun" racist!? Are you implying that Steele thinks Native Americans are inferior?

No, the equivalent of Reid's comments coming from Steele would have been something like this:

We lost to Barack Obama because John McCain is just another old cracker.

Sorry, but a harmless joke directed at his own race and the use of a common Americanism in a context totally unrelated to race is not the same as lauding a black man for not having a Negro dialect. It's sad that you cannot see the difference.

There is such a thing as being racist towards your own race and am pretty sure you know this!
 
Note that the United Negro College Fund has not changed its name.

Why should they? Do you even know the History behind them?? :roll:

sad how the brainwashing has worked so well on you
the republicans want blacks to rise or fall of their own accord, with a safety net if they fall on hard times

You and your dems have been enslaving them with social programs for decades creating generational poverty, ingnorance and an unneccessary underclass.

is it a compliment in your opinion to say 'You can tell an educated black man because he speaks white" ??????

a black politician who has to ghetto up his delivery has failed his constituency long before he will be elected.

I am far from being brainwashed and the republicans could give a crap less about black people, white people or any other people. They are the party for the rich. Period.

Shame on the dem party for wanting people to have food, water, homes, jobs, etc. Sure the Dem is the party of evil:roll:

The Democratic Party gives a crap about people-unlike the repubs.

Disgrace to his race? Wishes to oppress his people?

Perfect example of the sick Liberal mentality. "His people."

These are AMERICANS, with all the opportunities afforded Americans.

Tell me genius, how is he oppressing His people, or any people?

Republicans would prefer a society that isn't fragmented into This-American, That-American, but it's the game played by the socialists like you and your party.

It is not Republicans calling blacks Conda-skeeza Rice or Colon Powell. That is the poisonous Reverend of the Church Obama sought out and attended for 20-years.

We don't have party elders claiming Hymie-Town, and making derogatory comments about Jews, or wanting to "cut the nuts out" of a presidential candidate that actually said something about personal responsibility and illegitimate children. No that's the Democrat leadership or their mentors. Jackson, Sharpton, Wright.

And what happens to these scum? Nothing. They keep forging on.

What is wrong with the term his people? Sure we are all people but as a Black man? Michael Steele should belong to the party that will support black folks. Not the party wishes to hold his people down. I am sorry if you got a problem with this because those are MY feelings.

I see socialist policies have helped His people.

What a sick mentality. Truly, it's putrid... but it's yours and your party's.

People should speak as they speak but it would be nice if we had someone up in there like Snoop in office that keeps it real in public and in private. :cool:

Did you have anything of value to add to my comment? You can stop this attack on me right now and I do mean that!

The only Kool-Aid I am drinking is Right-Aid. You got that?

OMG! You are way over top here in your hate of me and Obama. :(
 
What did Steele say specifically that was racist? I'm not doubting it, but I couldn't find it in your link.

Oh, and how is this relevant to the thread topic?
Steele is black, he can't be racist by definition. Glinda, you FAIL.

Then he should definitely stay as far away as possible form the Democrats. Not like they had anything to do with passing Civil rights laws.
 
Kali obviously knows nothing about the Republican Party.

Must be that context thing again, huh?
 
I just can't believe he'd say something so utterly moronic. That sounds like something a plantation owner would say about his house servant.

Sounds more like something that Joe Biden might say on a slow news cycle.
