“The revelation of Senator Harry Reid’s comments referencing “negro talk” is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. The history of the Democrat party is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is this new aged socialism born from the Johnson Great Society programs that have castigated blacks as victims needing government dependency. One need only to look upon the city of Detroit to ascertain what liberal social welfare policies have produced for the inner city…..the new plantation for black Americans.
The Ku Klux Klan was birthed by the Democrats as a terrorist wing to intimidate blacks, and whites, who sought to promote economic and education independence and social justice for blacks. What was once overt has just morphed and become covert, yet still exists…
One can only imagine the insanity and media outrage if Reid’s quote had come from a member of the Republican party. I look forward to hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on Reid’s comments………or has liberal hush money paid for the silence of these proprietors of poverty and victimization theory.. Actually, if President Obama had any courage he would demand Reid step down as Senate Majority Leader, and discontinue any support for his Senate reelection…….notice I said “if”. I am quite sure the Soros money which elevated Obama to the position of President has bought his servitude.
Why am I running for US Congress as a Republican, simple, I would rather stand proudly and be called “Uncle Tom and Sellout” than lose my self-esteem and be considered an inferior by liberals. I understand the legacy of the GOP and the black community….not that revisionist history espoused by liberal educators. I am not, shall never be, and will not raise my daughters to be a part of the liberal 21st century plantation. I am not just some articulate, clean, good speaking negro. I am an American warrior, Congressional candidate, and shall never submit to the collective progressive ideal of inferiority.
Senator Harry Reid’s comments are disgusting, despicable, and unacceptable. They are representative of how intellectual elite liberals do indeed speak of black Americans in their closed private spaces. Next week I have been invited to NYC to address the Hudson Institute, a conservative organization, conference on “Reclaiming American Liberty”. That invite came to me because I took advantage of the opportunities this great Republic offered. I followed the guidance of my parents and set my standards above all others around me. I speak well and have impeccable communicative skills because my Father and Mother prioritized that quality.
I shiver to think what my future could have been if I listened to the insidious rhetoric of charlatans such as Harry Reid, and the ambassadors of affirmative action who reside in the Congressional Black Caucus.
Sure, the “stuck on stupid” blacks are going to address me in derogatory names, but I possess something which they lack; Honor, Integrity, and Character. To them I say, continue to be slaves to the liberals for your vote……..and in a year you will be calling me Congressman West.

BTW, welcome to FreeRepublic ... use spell check, n00b.
Are you OK? You seem a bit, uh, tightly wound on this thread.
Senator Harry Reid’s comments are disgusting, despicable, and unacceptable.

no NO NO. Negro is not a racist comment and yet we are letting republicans allowing it to become so...because the democrats say so.
Question, how would you describe the ghettospeak of innercity negroes? African-American Urban Ebonics? AND what if Reid had said that Obambi did not speak in African-American Urban Ebonics...well he would have still been attacked....because we are not allowed to say anything negative OH WAIT NEG...humm sounds too much like NIG. I’m sorry
Let me rephrase that in proper afraidOFblacks speech....We are not allowed to say anything derrogatory of African Americans.
West should have said that the word NEGRO is not racist. What about NEGRO SPIRITUAL....IS THAT A RACIST STATEMENT?
NEGRO LEAGUE...
Col. West has proven that he along with 96 percent of the negroes are race first and American second. I hope he sees that being caught up in the attacks on Reid is making him a racist himself.
Heck, these attacks on Reid are hot air. He wasn’t doing all that well in the polls before this.
I wonder if West will attack the CENSUS as being RACIST, since they will be using the word NEGRO in the census.
C’mon Col. West.
You have freepmail. Don’t spoil the ‘mood’ ...
You make a good point. I’d like to think it’s a verbal / rhetorical foot fault that belies his actual beliefs.
Plus, they are the most color-obsessed people on earth, the group-think habit you mention is probably why.
As I posted yesterday, the typical liberal finds racial overtones in the labels of Johnnie Walker Scotch.
No no NO. Michael Steele looks like a doofus when he tries to keep it real and get down wif da brothas. Honestly, I don’t have anything against Lt. Col. West - nothing. It’s just that “Hip-Hop” Republicans reminds me a little too much of “Log Cabin” Republicans.
I mean accepted in society. These African-Amer type folks might think they’re being very cute with the “race card” business, but it makes people not trust them.
Read later. Thank you.

I had never heard of this website, Booker Rising but I shall be visiting it.
Using the word Negro was not Reid’s truest mistake, and I can’t understand why no one is talking about this...Reid was being “caucused”. It goes something like this...
“Hey, Reid, what do you think of Obama as electable?”
Reid: “The way I see it, he’s practically white looking, and he talks white, except when it suits his purposes. So, he is black and he talks black when he needs to—that gets us the black vote—but for me and mine, he still looks white. He’s a go. Got my vote.”
West is addressing the plantation politics of the democrat party. It is more than evident in Reid’s comments. That is real issue.
