Harry's Trouble

Ward Connerly, WSJ, Harry Reid's Race Problem:

We are too quick to take offense about race when none was intended. Some are too anxious to manufacture outrage over matters that do not justify the attention that we give them. And we are too quick to politicize race.

As far as I'm concerned, Messrs. Bond, Sharpton, Jackson and a host of other Americans formerly identified as "negroes" have forever forfeited the right to be outraged whenever a Republican or a talk show host makes an inappropriate or "insensitive" racial comment.

Democrats are obsessed with race. Obsessed. Here's to a color-blind society. That would put Bond, Sharpton and Jackson out of business. All the better. Not to mention...

Dem leader who compared Republicans to slavemasters referred to “light-skinned” Obama and “Negro dialect;” Obama accepts apology, praises Reid on “social justice”

...Harry Reid.

More. Ann Althouse: Is Harry Reid a racist? It depends on what the meaning of racist is.
