Barack Obama thinks that Harry Reid was saying something complimentary about him. Where is the compliment? The compliment is in stressing what he is not. He is also not offended by the remarks. I know who should be offended by them. All those people who have dark skin and speak with that “negro dialect” that Harry Reid spoke of. According to Harry Reid it’s a good thing that Barack Obama is not a dark-skinned man with a Negro dialect or else he wouldn’t be elected president of the United States. It probably would be difficult for Snoop Dogg, for example, to be elected president but I think he would have other issues that would take precedence over his dark skin and way of speaking.
Now let’s fast forward to the State of the Union Address. Chris Matthews stated that he “forgot” that Obama is Black watching this speech. What happens when one forgets that a person is Black? What does he think when he is aware that Obama is Black and then what does he think when he forgets that Obama is Black? This is the person who felt a “thrill going up his leg” over Barack Obama before he was elected so I can’t believe that it would be anything bad he’s thinking when he is aware that Obama is Black.
It’s interesting that people feel free to make these racist statements now that we have a president of African descent. How can anyone say what Harry Reid and Chris Matthews have said and not think that there would be some sort of outcry? Barack Obama was supposed to bridge the gap between the races, but it looks like people are obsessed with race and aren’t afraid to let everyone know it.
