I'm damn tired of conservative gas lighting about Reid
Harry Reid did not state anything racist...he just said in words what the truth is about many Americans...they would not elect a totally black man with "black" language. This pretend moral upset of Reids supposed racist remark doesn't make a bit of sense to someone who can think for themselves.

1. Unrecommend and here is why:
What may be considered not racist to you, may in fact be racist to others.

IMO what he said was racist but that is irrelevant to my unrecommend. I think some in the GOP have other motives as to why they are gas lighting this with Reid, especially those who have never gave a damn about racial issues in the past.

This is not just a conservative gas lighting of his remarks, there are many Democrats who feel the same way about what he said. In my humble opinion, it is not a "supposed racist remark", it is in fact a racist remark.

3. What he said wasn't that great
and definitely had some unpleasant stereotypical overtones. That said, there are some that have said far worse (both on the left and right) and still have their job. (Look at some things said after the 2004 tsunami and Katrina for instance. Pretty fucking horrible and mostly ignored)

4. Reid also almost from the beginning possibly before Obama decided
that he should run for President.
