Racism everywhere

There is an interesting split in Freepers' camp about Reid. Some go defensive and stick to the 'nothing is racist anymore' narrative they've been pushing. Others go offensive and hit Reid with all they've got.

kinsman redeemer goes with the attack Reid and screw consistency and logic:

I can help you. Google the meaning of “high yellow.”. That’s where you’ll see the implication and meaning of Sen. Reid’s remark.

Excuse_My_Bellicosity goes full projection:

Nice going, Reid. What’s next? Remarks about chrome spinner wheels, a diamond encrusted necklace, or being able to talk without yelling, cussing, slurring, or spitting? That wouldn’t get any play from the media, either.

jennyjenny tries to split the difference:

Yes, the statements may be factually correct but
in Reid's opinion one way is preferable over the other. IOW, light skin > dark skin. No “Negro dialect” (whatever that is) > “Negro dialect”...unless of course, you can turn it on and off as needed, apparently. Maybe that actually is a plus, lol.

okie01 representing the other side of the split:

That is, of course, what this whole kabuki dance is about: political correctness.

And this is an obvious demonstration of how it can destroy relationships, honesty and -- most especially -- truth and freedom.

P.C. is an exceedingly vile formulation.

Then there are the usual Freeper mantras when racism is an issue:

manc on how Dems were racist 140 yearsa go and who doesn't anyone talk about that?

have you ever talked to many blacks?

They have no clue what so ever that the Dems did slavery , they MLK was a republican and that the Dems use them.
All one black has to do is ask themselves this”In 40 years of being with the Dems and their agenda why are we not getting far and why is our programmes like affirmative action i place?”

soycd enjoys the victimization narrative:

Being a democrat, reid will get no scrutiny from the mainstream like Lott or others get.

The media, democrats are all criminal, American hating filth.

FrankR manages to bring it back to Obama:

"Obama, in his own book, said he often talks/acts white as to not scare away white folk. "

I didn't read his pathetic book, but then, I didn't have to...he' EXUDES that attitude all over.

In other words, he's being a phoney. He's "acting" like something he isn't, just to fool a segment of society (and get votes).

Is there NOTHING genuine about this guy? Someone said in an earlier post that he is a "cardboard cutout"...well, yeah, partially...except it would be easy to trace the cardboard to see where it came from.

NoRedTape says what they are all thinking, though:

No one cares about Harry Reid or any of his silly apoligies; nothing; nada.

He is a dinasaur-sellout-weasel.

He has accomplished NOTHING but creating turmoil in "politics".

LET'S HOPE HE GETS HIS AZZ RIGHTFULLY KICKED-OUT OF NEVADA POLITICS AND WE'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, except cleaning toilets in the Denny's near Truckee.

FUHR.

You, uh, got a bit of froth on your collar there, Freepers.
