at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

Harry Reid was born in 1939. The word Negro was a not a slur for most of his life but was a respectful term until the lexicon changed. I do not believe in my heart he is a racist intellectually.

If he had a different record on the things he said or has done, I might think differently. What do you think?
