Reid's "racism"?

I believe Harry Reid was making a political analysis.  It was a valid analysis from the progressive "plantation owner" frame of mind, that groups people into class, race, age, sex, and other segments.  If I, as a conservative, strip away the belief in individuals and wear the hat of a progressive collectivist, it is a clear idea.  When all you can see and hear is someones group identity, then of course you will think that everyone else sees the same thing.

I am sure that the way Harry Reid views people in "levels of color" is a typical progressive ideology.  That has always been the way they view the people below themselves.
