Think Progress is usually good about the information they present. It's the stuff they purposely omit that gets them in to trouble. Nevertheless, it's the first thing many liberals click on in the morning and it's their primary news source along with media matters. Of course, media matters are beyond discredited.

The quote is

“[w]e could be like Steven Horsford who’s not doing anything with [the African-American] community and, you know, pretend we’re black and maybe try to get some votes if that’s where it is.”

As I read it, Tarkanian, the white GOP candidate, is saying that for him (Tarkanian) to pretend to be black would be like his opponent (a black Democrat). Semantically, one could interpret this as an accusation that his opponent is pretending to be black, but I think it is clear that Tarkanian was merely saying that his opponent is black. I really don't think Tarkanian meant his statement to imply that his opponent was only pretending to be black.

As some of the ThinkProgress commenters have pointed out, Tarkanian's full statement is still pretty racially insensitive, even ignoring this interpretation of his words.
