Extraordinary

Reid’s comment joins Joe Biden’s “clean, articulate” remark about Obama in the library of the soft racism of liberals. They pretend to be color blind but sometimes say things that demonstrate race and color as being prominent in their thoughts and feelings.

Would Biden have referred to Obama as “articulate, bright, clean and nice looking” had he been a white man? Hardly. His image of blacks had to be just the opposite — inarticulate, sloppy and looking like Mike Tyson. Those racist stereotypes had to clearly be uppermost in his liberal mind for him to single out those particular attributes. You won’t hear a liberal saying, “finally, we have a white candidate who’s clean, articulate and good looking” because those attributes are assumed to be part of the “white” package, not the black one.

Then, the white liberal is so grateful and happy to find an African-American candidate who, surprise, almost looks like them.

And then here’s Reid’s comment, expressing the same kind of negative racial consciousness. “No dialect” unless he wants to. Good lord! If that doesn’t suggest that Reid’s mental image of blacks is what he saw in “Gone With the Wind,” I don’t know what does.

This is the quiet racism of white liberals, the secret they keep about their real attitude towards people of color. It fits perfectly with their patronizing and guilty need to help them achieve what they obviously believe they can’t achieve on their own. They just po’ field hands, honey, they can’t do it by themselves. We been keeping them down fer so long they won’t get nowhere without our help.

This is deadly stuff, difficult to sniff out from these liberal champions, from these hounds of social justice because their public personas forswear what they privately accept.

They claim to be on the side of the angels. Yet they never move into black neighborhoods or send their kids to schools with a large minority population because they really believe those people have dialects, aren’t clean and are dark, dark, dark, scary dark.

This is the real meaning of Reid’s comment that Obama is light skinned and doesn’t have a dialect unless he wanted one. If he didn’t think blacks were, well, really black, why make the distinction? That must mean, to Reid, that blackness isn’t an acceptable attribute. Black ain’t beautiful to Harry.

Reid was just a step away from “He’s a credit to his race.”

And why mention dialect if he didn’t privately believe all blacks be talkin’ wit duh words what dem white folk can hardly unnerstan?

Along with Biden’s comment, this lies in the swamp of liberal hypocrisy about race and it’s being treated by liberals as mere slip-ups, misstatements, misspeaks.

Bullshit! It’s what liberals really are. The same as they accuse conservative of being.
