Reid's 'no Negro dialect' remarks about Obama
Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-NV) apologized for privately referring to Barack Obama early in his presidential campaign as a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect," as recounted in the forthcoming book Game Change.
Reid's statement to Jon Ralston:
Kind of hard to take Democrats seriously as the "pro-minority party" when in private they distinguish between Black Americans who speak "Negro dialect" and those who don't.
