Reid says Barry is a "light skinned" with "no dialect"

Anyone remember what happened to Republican Senator Trent Lott when he made racially "insensitive" comments over a decade ago??? He was forced to resign his position as Majority Leader.

Now the most powerful Democrat in the Senate uses much worse, and what happens? Apology accepted, let's move on!!!

Such a double standard for liberals when it comes to race.....

I think the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton need to meet with Reid to discuss being more tolerant.

Everyone remember when President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, and third in line to the presidency, Robert C. Byrd (Democrat) used the "N" word on television? Not only once, but twice.

Here's a recap...



What happened to him? Written apology. Apology accepted. Imagine if George W. Bush had done that on tv?

Imagine if anyone of us used a phrase like that in school or in their job. WOW!!! You're looking at sensitivity training and the whole bit.

One would only HOPE that you would get training!! There would not be enough paper in the entire state of Ohio for me to write an apology on. I would be dismissed with cause.

I don't know what Reid meant by dialect, by I never ever heard Obama say stuff like "Yo mama".
