Since when is it wrong to speak the truth?....
What's the big deal about talkin about the Negro dialect, people will not get upset in the South when the people in the north say "oh you talk so funny, you have a southern dialect"or when people from other states make remarks about the way people from Maine speak. I think it's a joke when the blacks like to be called Afro-Americans, if your skin is black, it's black, could it be that the blacks born in the United States feel superior to blacks born in other countries that Africa. Are they racists
I agree with our conservative friends; it definitely was a foolish and shameful thing to say, as were Biden's ignorant racial comments.
I do find it odd, however, that no conservatives on this board have condemned similar foolish and shameful race-related comments made by RNC Chairman Michael Steele.
Or, perhaps it's not odd at all.
Added for emphasis:
Steel is black. How can he be racist against himself? Do you take umbrage when Irish people poke fun at their own drinking habits? Do you get pissed when black comedians make fun of black stereotypes?
And how is using the term "honest injun" racist!? Are you implying that Steele thinks Native Americans are inferior?
No, the equivalent of Reid's comments coming from Steele would have been something like this:
We lost to Barack Obama because John McCain is just another old cracker.
Sorry, but a harmless joke directed at his own race and the use of a common Americanism in a context totally unrelated to race is not the same as lauding a black man for not having a Negro dialect. It's sad that you cannot see the difference.
Note that the United Negro College Fund has not changed its name.
Michael Steele is a disgrace to his race and leads a party that wishes to oppress his very own peoples.
Some may find my saying it wrong but it is very true.
Does everyone here see his use of "Negro dialect" as insulting? I think it's vulgar but I think he meant it as a sort of positive thing Obama can do to improve his chance of winning. A black politician who can't speak to the black population and win their adoration is as good as lost the election.
sad how the brainwashing has worked so well on you
the republicans want blacks to rise or fall of their own accord, with a safety net if they fall on hard times
You and your dems have been enslaving them with social programs for decades creating generational poverty, ingnorance and an unneccessary underclass.

I am far from being brainwashed and the republicans could give a crap less about black people, white people or any other people. They are the party for the rich. Period.
Shame on the dem party for wanting people to have food, water, homes, jobs, etc. Sure the Dem is the party of evil:roll:
The Democratic Party gives a crap about people-unlike the repubs.
What is wrong with the term his people? Sure we are all people but as a Black man? Michael Steele should belong to the party that will support black folks. Not the party wishes to hold his people down. I am sorry if you got a problem with this because those are MY feelings.
is it a compliment in your opinion to say 'You can tell an educated black man because he speaks white" ??????
a black politician who has to ghetto up his delivery has failed his constituency long before he will be elected.
People should speak as they speak but it would be nice if we had someone up in there like Snoop in office that keeps it real in public and in private.
is that cherry or Grape kool-aid you are basking in?
yeah ignorance is such a laudable characteristic :roll:
notice how Obama niggered it up on the campaign trail. he must have got you wet between your legs
OMG! You are way over top here in your hate of me and Obama.
Steele is black, he can't be racist by definition. Glinda, you FAIL.What did Steele say specifically that was racist? I'm not doubting it, but I couldn't find it in your link.
Oh, and how is this relevant to the thread topic?
Steele is black, he can't be racist by definition. Glinda, you FAIL.
Sorry, I didn't think of that. :3oops:sure he can. He can be a self loathing black man
but she gave the example of honest injun as an example of his racism :lamo
oh yeah, whats your definition of racism?

I just can't believe he'd say something so utterly moronic. That sounds like something a plantation owner would say about his house servant.
