During the 2008 Presidential Election Campaign, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stated Senator Obama was a "light skinned African American who speaks without a Negro dialect.... unless he wants one."

I really do not have the words to describe this. Let's imagine, for a moment, that someone like Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney or Newt Gingrich had something even remotely similar. Race riots, defaming of the republican party, and media frenzy (especially on MSNBC). Not only did Senator Reid make such a stupid comment... former Illinois Governor Rob Blagoyavich claimed he was "blacker than President Obama." Then, there's former President Bill Clinton who said "ten years ago, President Obama would have been serving them drinks."
Aren't Democrats supposed to be the non-racists? The lovers of the minority community? Apparently that is a common misconception. After all, the Republicans are the heroes who ended slavery in America almost two hundred years ago. So why do the Democrats win the minority votes? I guess we'll never know.
