Obama accepted Reid’s apology? Why shouldn’t he; he wasn’t the one Reid insulted; I am. Me and millions of voters like me who Dingy implied would never vote for a dark skinned black man. He is calling the American electorate racist, and I haven’t heard an apology for that yet from Reid or any other Democrat.

Right, but homo sapiens are what we are. Every human being alive is a homo sapien, so designated us as such would be silly unless another order of homos evolve.

Think of it like this: if a police report is filed, they say, “a caucasian male” stole the car, etc. That could be a white man, a Mexican, a Puerto Rican, a Columbian, a Canadian, etc. However, when it’s a black person, it’s “a black male” stole the car. Why isn’t it a “negro male?” Isn’t saying black instead of negroid more politically correct? Why don’t they say “a Mexican male” stole the car? Because it’s not so easy to delineate nationality, but race is easy to discern based on skin color.

Exactly. Reid, in essence, said someone blacker and WITH a Negro dialect would not be acceptable. Where is the outrage?
