Speaking of “Negro” …
Nevada Democratic Senator and Senate Leader Harry Reid apparently stepped in it:
The US Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, has apologised for private comments he made about Barack Obama before the 2008 presidential election.

Racist Act at Health Care Forum, Racist Act by Police, All White Crowd Goes Wild
Senator Claire McCaskill’s health care forum. You can’t see much detail, but when a couple of black women in an all white room are dragged off by the police, I figure they were probably victims of the growing racism we are seeing in this discourse.
