"President Obama quickly forgave (Harry) Ried for saying he was an okay presidential candidate because he had lighter skin and didn’t speak negro, "unless he wanted to."
You've heard that story. But did you know about the other democrats in power who have made racist remarks? They include Barack Obama himself, Vice President Joey Biden, Sonia Sotomayor, and Dick Durbin. So you have the President, the Vice President, a Supreme Court Justice and the top two democrats in the U.S. Senate! See the comments the others made here.
So why is racism tolerated on the left? Why don't so-called Black Leaders, like Rev. Jesse Jackson who was in tears when Obama won the election, speak up? They were silent on Sotomayor and are silent again now.

I listened to comments from the African/American community the other day complaining that the 2010 Census term, Negro, raised the echoes of slavery, and yet, and yet, they rise to defend Reid.
This completely damages any argument for political correctness. PC isn’t an offense against a minority. PC is simply the political whim of any class wielding power.
Enough!!
For the same reason the NOW gang put on the kneepads for Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton.
If Ted Bundy had come out in favor of abortion, the NOW gang would have moved mountains to free him from prison.
Reid is bleeding votes as it is, he only keeps us tres amused, at this point.
Who has the time....Where is Obama set to speak today? Oprah? radio/talk as Barry from Washinton? Letterman? Hush Society Mansion interview? ( I doubt the latter.. ;)
Wouldn’t it be nice if the same kindness and consideration were given to normal people, the way it is regularly given to liberals? Normal people are hounded until they resign. Liberals are scolded and then they go back to their old angry, hateful, intolerant racist ways.
When Jesse Jackson got caught using antisemitic slurs, he said blame the head and not the heart.
There is a double standard. Plain as day. It is because the MSM and “pressure groups” support the socialist agenda.
