If there’s one thing we know about American politics by now it’s this. If you’re going to make racial remarks of any kind make sure you’re a Democrat.
When Democrats are caught making racial comments they simply used a “poor choice of words.” When Republicans make similar comments they’re deemed “racist.”
So it was no surprise to see Democrats immediately forgive and defend Harry Reid for comments he made privately during the last presidential campaign about Barack Obama.
Reid told fellow Democrats privately that he felt Obama would be a good candidate because he’s “light skinned” and had “no Negro dialect” unless he wanted to.
Just imagine for a moment ANY Republican saying something like that in any context to anyone at anytime. Not only would they be forced to resign, but they would have to spend the better part of a year licking Al Sharpton’s boots.
It would be a NY Times front page story. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would fly in on helicopters, break out the bull horns, and call a hasty press conference.
But when you’re a Democrat, nothing like that will happen. You simply say you’re sorry and meant no harm, and everybody goes about their business.
I’m actually in favor of that approach. I think political correctness is out of control in this country. I don’t a public lynching is in order (that’s right Al I said it) every time someone says something slightly controversial.
However, I think everyone should be held to the same standards. If we are going to continue the public lynching route, then it should apply to Democrats and Republicans alike.
Ironically, Democrats get a free pass on racial remarks when it’s their party that has done more damage to communities of color than anything or anyone else.
It’s liberal Democratic policies that have created a climate of never ending poverty, crime, and lack of education in black communities.
You think it’s a coincidence that every single urban ghetto in the United States is run by a liberal? You think it’s by accident that every single city in America that looks like a third world war zone is run by a liberal?
It’s no mistake and it’s no coincidence.
The truth is Democrats don’t really care about black people. They take them for granted as a voting block and have no interest in improving their communities.
Harry Reid has said he has no intention of stepping down in light of his remarks, but I have no problem with that.
I’m glad he’s staying, because it’s going to be that much sweeter watching him go down in flames in the elections later this year. Like the rest of the country, Nevada is sick and tired of Harry Reid.
