    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     adriana71 is sharing her view on Sen. Harry Reid's controversial comments. See another view from professirx.
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Perhaps people should re read the speech that the Senator Obama gave in Philadelphia.

     

     

      " I  can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can disown my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

    These people are a part of me. And they are part of America, this country that I love."
