Amos, Andy & Harry Reid
What Harry Reid said was not that bad. We all know that. He said Obama was articulate, he is. He said he was light skinned, he is. He said he didn’t speak with a Negro dialect unless he wanted to, weird, but essentially true, I guess. So it’s not what Reid said that has all us conservatives huffing and puffing. It’s the fact that he’s getting a pass is what really pisses us off. (Insert the obligitory statement here.) IF A REPUBLICAN WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT….
That is old news. Everybody knows that racist liberals, or racist statements, excuse me, insensitive statements made by liberals get a free pass from the media and other liberals. The same game has been playing out over and over again. Now it’s time for Republicans and conservatives to come up with a new response strategy and here it is. Instead of playing the “gotcha” game and responding with outrage when some racist comment is made by the likes of Harry Reid, we should embrace it. Take the ball and run with it.
For example. When Harry Reid said Obama was articulate, Michael Steele should have held a press conference and said and said “Harry Reid was right! Obama sho’nuff do be articulate. He be a bad mamma-jamma wit the articulation.” When Harry Reid said Obama was light skinned. The Republican caucus should have gone on Fox News and presented Obama with a gift basket with some Coppertone and free passes to the Congressional Tanning Salon. And as far as that Negro dialect goes, the next amendment introduced to the Health Care bill should be written in Ebonics. “Whereas we be poppin’ a cap foshizzle in the publizzle option, be it recognized henceforth that we should bounce to reconciliation with some chronic….Boiiiiii”
I know it probably won’t happen so for the time being we’ll have to try and stick to the rules of the game, which are as follows.
1.If you are a conservative you are racist.
2.If you are a liberal you are a friend to all minorities.
3.If you are a conservative and say something remotely insensitive, it is a racist remark made by a closet racist and you should not only apologize but resign.
4.If you are a liberal and say something remotely insensitive, well, that’s okay. We know what’s in your heart. Just call Al Sharpton and watch some Amos and Andy reruns.

Unfortunately, this is not always true, but it happens more often than it should or certain people are willing to admit.
