During the presidential campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Barack Obama would be a good candidate because he was "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one". Since the exposure of his racist comment, Reid has been running around apologizing to every black in America.
The elephant in the living room of the controversy that everyone seems to be ignoring is Reid's horrific slap in the face of white America. In essence Reid believes, "most white American voters are racists who will not elect a dark-skinned black man". Reid owes white America an apology and his resignation. This will never happen because democrats and the mainstream media believe it is OK to trash white America. Liberals have been portraying white America, mainly white males, as racist villains who victimize everyone from Christopher Columbus to the current Tea Party patriots.
As a black patriot, I am more offended by Reid's dis of my white fellow Americans than I am of him insulting me as a black man. White liberals have been insulting and demeaning us blacks for years. It is what they do. Liberals believe blacks cannot be successful in America without lowered standards and their intervention.
Years ago, a white friend's son came home from middle school in tears over the cruelty of our founding fathers against Native Americans. Today, that kid is a 23 year old America-hating Marxist. Thank you public schools for your liberal America-sucks curriculum.
Liberal actress Jeannine Garafolo called the Tea Party Patriots "tea bagging redneck racists" for their opposition of Obama's far left radical agenda. I have yet to hear one Democrat or liberal media member rebuke Garafolo's outrageous comment. The liberal Democrat House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the tea party attendees an angry mob, Astroturf and even threw in the term Nazi for good measure. Again, trashing, insulting and demeaning white America is fair game.
Without hesitation the Democrats trash white America whenever it serves their purpose. When Obama said the white police officer acted stupidly for arresting black professor Gates, for which Obama had to later apologize, the liberal Democrat machine went into action to defend Obama. They launched a media campaign to prove that America's white cops do profile and abuse blacks.
In the 30 minutes I was on the Stair-Master at the gym, I witnessed two black Democrats on TV saying that Reid simply spoke the truth. Both blacks said they do receive more respect from whites because of their light skin. This is absurd. Oprah Winfrey, a dark skinned black woman is one of the most influential people in the world. America is the home of countless highly influential, powerful and wealthy dark-complected blacks. Rushing light skinned blacks on TV to defend Reid's false accusation against whites is yet another example of how democrats have no problem trashing white America to save one of their own.
A part of me hates the touchiness of our society. The slightest infraction and everyone is screaming, "Off with their head!" But in the case of Harry Reid, demanding his resignation is truly in order. Every poll confirms the majority of Americans are against Reid's horrific massive government takeover of our lives disguised as a health care bill. Still, this arrogant evil man has chosen to undermine the will of the people. Reid and company desire to ignore the Constitution and hijack as much of our freedoms, liberty and culture as they can get away with. The passage of government run health care would be a major victory in their quest to transform America.
I would relish a scenario similar to what happened to Al Capone happening to Harry Reid. The government knew Capone was guilty of numerous serious crimes. However, they could not gather enough evidence to convict him. Finally, they were able to send Capone to prison on the lesser crime of income tax evasion.
Reid is guilty of betraying the American people. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party, with help from a sycophant liberal mainstream media, have built a protective wall around Reid. But the exposure of Reid's racism and contempt for the American people could punch a huge hole in the protective wall which surrounds him. And just like the city of Jericho, hopefully, Reid's protective wall will come tumbling down.

When dems attack republicans its not because they’re offended;thats hard to do when you have no conscience to begin with.They see it as a way to get rid of their enemies.
Where? I have seen no indication of this and would love to see and hear his "explanation."
Thank you Mr. Marcus!
Excellent post. I am hopeful that the average American is starting to realize this double standard and the liberals are being exposed for their elitist, we-know-better-than-you views.
Thanks!!
The people that Reid actually insulted are the people who voted for Obama. And they are the ones coming to his defense. I suppose that proves that only the braindead would vote for Obama.
Great essay, thanks! It’s a perspective I hadn’t thought of before; I suppose it’s because we’ve become so enured to being called racists for no particular reason other than that liberals think it’s a really cute way to cut off any debate on non-racial policy that they know they’re going to lose if it comes down to logic and reason instead of inflammatory ad hominem attacks.
Malcolm X was of mixed ancestry and had a lighter complexion than the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. White “progressives” may admire Malcolm X more than King (or maybe not) but the average American white is more likely to admire King than Malcolm X.
Malcolm X had his virtues. Unlike King, he was very much for self-help and business ownership and also quite explicitly endorsed the second amendment.
