"Hangman's Grove?".....:lol:
I assume since you posted a satirical not-true article with the word "satire" highlighted in it the URL that you are trying to be funny. I'd hate to think that you said "here's some honesty for you" while being dishonest, after all.
Because Reid's comment was a derogatory that it suggests that a black man that doesn't meet his description is a rarity.
Comment about serving coffee is actually true though he should have said decades and not years.
Well that sounds like cherry picking minor details.
Let's just face it...no Republican or conservative can make these sort of remarks ("poor choice of words"), or anything remotely similar, without the "Justice Brothers" and the rest of the Left labeling them racist.
It is just the way it is.
Sorry I didn't read all the posts but here's how I see it:
Reid spoke like a 70 year old guy from a Mormon culture would speak; it's more of the language of someone who is kind of clueless as opposed to racist.
After all, if you boil down what he said, it's pretty much "Americans won't elect a dark skinned black man who speaks like Jesse Jackson, but they will elect this guy."
I don't see that as racist. In fact, I agree with it, at least for the present.
To compare him to Trent Lott, who said that if we had a segregationist racist President we wouldn't have all these troubles these days is ridiculous.
And I will be glad when Senator Byrd goes as well.

If I say that Americans won't elect a fat white guy who speaks with an Italian accent, is that racist or just acknowledging what is probably true?
Bad analogy. There is no fat/white/Italian stereotype.If I say that Americans won't elect a fat white guy who speaks with an Italian accent, is that racist or just acknowledging what is probably true?

What part is racist?It's racist.

Yes, I should have been more precise in my wording.There isn't? Funny, I got the mafia image as soon as I read the line.
Oh come on! You made Mario huge just to make a point!!!Nobody would elect these two.

I meant that it's not a typical stereotype. Nobody is going to point out someone and say "wow! there's a white guy that's actually skinny and speaks well - he'd make a great presidential candidate!"

Shenanigans!

I could buy that, especially regarding speech, based on Reid's wording "He has no Negro dialect..."To be fair, I doubt people are actually saying lighter skin tone and not using urban vernacular are qualifications for president, just that their opposites are disqualifications based on the electability of someone who displays the opposite characteristics.

You gotta admit, those two look a lot alike. :lol:
I say it is racist because the majority of Americans do not vote that way - take a look at Arnold Schwarzenegger getting elected as governor of California twice despite the way the liberals and Dems ranked on the way he talked with an accent - ya, Dems and liberals yakking about how he couldn't say California right - the ones who claim to be more tolerant of others than anyone - LOL - they are the worst offenders - and now with Reid's comments being acceptable within their community - shame on them.
Now wait a minute.
Disagreeing with the comment and saying it's racist are two different things.
The comment could be completely wrong and not racist after all.
