Racist Democrats Don’t Call On Senator Reid to Resign For Calling Obama “Negro”
The Democrats are the most hypocritical political party that has ever existed. Yesterday, it came to air that Senator Reid called Barack Obama a “negro”.
Reid commented that Obama was ‘light-skinned’ with ‘no hint of Negro dialect’ unless needed.
Such crass description of African-Americans shocked the Senate floor, instantly causing Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to join Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele in denouncing Reid’s racist comments and calling for his resignation.
The Democratic party has a history steeped in racism. During the 1800s, the Democrats (Dixiecrats) did their best to defeat Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation of all black slaves. The Democrats drafted anti-freedom laws and even an army to try to keep African-Americans enslaved.
During the 1900s, the Democrats drafted Jim Crow laws to slow the progression of African-American civil rights. Now we see that even in the year 2010, Democrats still think it is okay to call blacks, even the American President, a negro.
The word negro takes origin in Latin and is still prominently used in Spanish, literally meaning “black”. In the American lexicon and our cultural vernacular, the term carries a weighted history of oppression, abuse and belittlement. The word is hateful and has no place in our nation’s capital.
Since Senator Reid feels racism is a part of America, I agree that Senator Reid should resign and think he should see his way out of our country and especially our capital, just like any other American who believes in freedom and equality for all men should do.

you are confuseing “negro” with “nigger”
calling a black man negro is no more offensive that it would be to call you a caucasian or a japanese person an asian.

This is the 21st century, not 1850. Comparing 1850 democrats to 2010 democrats is a little bit ridiculous. Same goes for 1850/2010 republicans. That was one hundred and sixty years ago.
I agree he’s kind of an idiot for his choice of words, but do you really think he said this to be openly racist on the senate floor? I seriously doubt it. Maybe he was just trying to be open. People jump on the bandwagon denouncing anything that touches race.
Take a look at yourself, your moral alert says you’re currently praying to decide who needs boycotting! Aren’t Christians supposed to forgive, not boycott? Aren’t you supposed to be doing something good with your time? Helping people in need, not boycotting something. You know what, I bet Jesus would ask the senator to resign, and then send him to the depths of hell along with the entire democratic party! Oh wait, that’s utterly ridiculous.
You should resign.

Yet, the Constitution was written by American politicians many years before that. Maybe we should just throw them all out too?

What wondrous hyporcrisy! These same elected hacks couldn’t wait to call for Trent Lott’s hanging for comments that were over a decade old. Now, they’re claiming that democrat Reid is a decent, upstanding person to lead their party in Congress? Have they no shame? I would think the American people would find it repugnant to have this bigot hold any sort of elected office whatsoever. Sen. Reid should do the right thing and resign. He has disgraced himself and shown the undercurrent of selfishness and egotism in the Democrat Party. As a journalist who has watched politics for many, many years I must say this really takes the cake.

What hypocrites. They called for Trent Lott’s hide not even ten years ago, but now even Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are defending this racist for the sake of “the party”.
The double-standard is sickening and we should be able to impeach this bigoted heathen. It’s pretty sad to see a politician call a black President “negro” this day and age.

Trent Lott was talking about Strom Thurmond’s record for advocating segregation and Jim Crow laws. The comparison between Sen. Reid’s comments and Sen. Lott’s is completely disingenuine.

Sorry, should’ve used the adjective “disingenuous” instead of “disingenuine” (which, I’m embarrassed to say, is terrible slang)

Also, many older blacks self-identity as “negroes” as opposed to “blacks” or “African-Americans”. As a matter of fact, the word “negro” will appear on the 2010 census forms for just this reason.
As a side note, I think we should get away from hyphenated people. I’m not a Caucasian-American or a European-American — I’m an American.

I like to tell people I’m a Christian-American but maybe that’s just redundant.

Not redundant, but you’re close. I’ll give you a hint. It does start with “re,” it has the same number of syllables as “redundant,” and it rhymes with “he farted.”

And young blacks have been known to call each other “n**ger”. The very same people who are upset over that are now trying to defend Reid for doing the same. That is why they are hypocrites.
