Counter to everyone else on this thread, I don’t find his remarks the least bit racist. Some might find them offensive, I suppose, but I do not. At the worst, they are mildly insensitive. Everyone in America, regardless of race, has privately thought the same things. What is somewhat remarkable is the notion that Reid felt the need to share such banal musing. More than likely it was an offhand observations, something to fill time and perhaps intended to elict a response from the listener. Certainly he could not have possibly imagined he was conveying a fresh or provocative insight.
Why would Harry Reed call Obama to apologize if the remarks weren’t offensive?
Someone else with a brain instead of a Republican party membership card.
I don't see how increasing the muzzle of political correctness by defining the "N-word" down helps anything. In fact, it makes things worse.
I commend you for not just jerking your knee like a Republican party hack. People have got to get beyond Republican-Democrat if we are to have any hope of survival.
