Stop Being So Damned Sensitive

Why Senator Harry Reid finds himself embroiled in a public relations nightmare right now is beyond me. The man wrote the truth! IMHO, anyone who believes Barack Obama's light complexion and lack of "negro dialect" didn't factor into his electability in the American subconscious is a fool in denial. Senator Reid's comments cut through the bullsh!t and expose white America's reluctance to accept black men who don't first put them at ease with their blackness. They have always chosen those black men they perceive as least threatening to whites as good leaders and representatives for black folk in this country.

Republicans are just playing politics with this issue. Democrats are so stuck on being politically correct, they can't ignore this issue, and blacks in general, are so caught up with the messenger being white that they want to ignore the truth of his words. We are NOT in post-racial America yet. I'm proud of this white man for ADMITTING Americans are still not mature enough to elect a dark skinned, male, descendant of slaves to the highest office in this country's political system. Chew on that...
