Reid’s office confirms that Reid himself was the source of the anecdote to the reporters. His office declined to elaborate. But it looks as if Reid used the language to one of the reporters in some way or other.
The authors’ note further specifies that “all our interviews” were conducted on a “deep background” basis. So it looks like Reid used this language in an interview on deep background.
Still the question remains, did Reid utter these comments in a Negro dialect ?
Also, ponder this: Harry says he chose his words poorly -- given a second chance, and more time to ponder his words, what was he trying to say? He has yet to elaborate.
What's a Negro dialect?
