Reply #5: Once again repubs demonstrate their contempt for black people

[tularetom]

Obviously they think that African Americans are going to rise up in indignation at Harry Reid's statement. Unfortunately it appears that black people are smart enough to know who is on their side and who is just trying to use them. And I suspect, in spite of his old timey language, Reid is a far better friend to them than Michael Steele or the rest of his redneck republican pals will ever be.

If I were black I would be highly offended that somebody thought I was stupid enough to fall for this obvious and inept attempt at pandering.

My father who would be 93 if he were still alive, never got past the "colored people" phase of referring to blacks. But he didn't have a bigoted bone in his body. I suspect Reid has a similar background.
