President Obama (center) Senator Harry Reid (right)
Didn't I warn white people not to use the word "Negro." It's like black people joking about white people loving NASCAR - you just don't do it (kidding).
Either, Senator Harry Reid (Democrat) just watched an episode of "The Jeffersons" or he had a drink or two, as he referred to President Barack Obama as "light-skinned" and said he is pleased he does not use "Negro dialect." Maybe he's been listening to the Rush Limbaugh show.
Reid has since apologized. Obama accepted his apology. Hey, at least he didn't use the word "Ni*ger."...like FBI Director Robert S. Mueller.
