[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 670724, member: 22662"] So it is the conservative point of view that Reid's comments were racist even though he thought that Obama should run and thought he had a good chance of winning? Of all the relatively strong Democrats against a weak Republican field, Harry Reid singles out a young black senator from Illinois and encourages him to run for the presidency and you think that's racism? Instead of taking the easy stance with Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, or John Kerry, Harry Reid backs Obama and gets called a racist for acknowledging a sad but real truth in the United States? I'm really beginning to think that conservatives really have no feel for racism whatsoever. Racism isn't about the "N" word or political correctness. That's what my previous post was alluding to. Not that people here are racist, but that people seem so far removed from racism or those that experience it even today that they don't even know what it is anymore. It's become a political weapon, a buzz word. Wanna know why I think conservatives are horrible on this? Alan Keyes was brilliant. All the conservative pundits loved what he had to say.
