Hilary Sheldon Addresses Senator Harry Reid's Comment

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has come under intense scrutiny recently because of comments made during President Obama's campaign. The quotes are just not coming out because of a new book being release called "Game Changed" that is filled with quotes from Senator Reid, President Obama, and others during the Obama Campaign. The book was written by Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

Senator Reid's comment stated that President Obama could be successful as a black candidate because his "light skinned appearance and his ability to speak "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Many have claimed this comment as offensive. Senator Reid released the following apology:

"I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.

"I was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama during the campaign and have worked as hard as I can to advance President Obama's legislative agenda"

 He also called the President directly on Saturday to apologize. To which President Obama had this to say publicly:

"I accepted Harry's apology without question because I've known him for years, I've seen the passionate leadership he's shown on issues of social justice and I know what's in his heart. As far as I am concerned, the book is closed."

 Many are interested in what the NAACP has to say about Senator Reid's comments. Senior Vice President for Advocacy Hilary Shelton appeared on Fox News yesterday (1/12/10) morning and was quoted as saying, "Harry Reid is someone who has always scored an “A” on the NAACP’s legislative report card. He has provided great leadership on a host of issues that are important to our communities."
