Obama: Grandmother "Typical White Person" »
Posted By zaph22 1 year, 7 months ago in News"... .. The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know there's a reaction that's been been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's just t

But this is what we have to expect from Barack Hussein Obama. It's unfortunate since he was educated at Harvard but sounds like a H.S. drop-out.
I knew he was finished the day before his "speech" when at a press conference he said, to the effect, he wouldn't answer questions when he could do a better job spouting B.S. in a speech.
So long Barack and good riddance.
Your chant of "change" rang hollow and you thought you could hold your inner true self all the way to election day.
So long.
Don't quit your day job.

From the article:
"It's becoming more apparent why Senator Obama didn't leave Rev. Wright's church, as well as continued his relationship with him. The truth is that racism works both ways and some of us blue collar folks don't appreciate being called racist by someone who has his own problems with race he is obviously in denial about."
Bingo! Sums up everything nicely.

I was hoping somebody would submi something about this. How p^ssed is everyone else at the fact that he called typical white people racist? He said that his granny has the same fears all white people have? Is he completely fcking retarded? Or is he believing his cult followers when they tell him that nothing can stop him?
I don't know about you guys, but I work in neighborhoods that B.O. would not step in and probably would not even drive through with his motorcade. I play football crackheads on occasion when or work is done. We'll break out the ball and anyone who runs up is welcome to play. I think this is typical. I really have never met a white person who is scared of blacks.

I'm not p*ssed at all. I would have been surprised if he didn't. After all, the Dems are masters at the "divide and conquer" approach to politics...gaining power by exploiting the divisions IN America...exploiting our "fear" of each other...In their view of America, whites (except for most liberals, of course) must be racist.
It's one of the reasons they must be appropriately dealt with. Sadly, the Republicans are not up to that challenge. Until we realize, and publicly proclaim, that these people are the enemy of the American ideal, we will never be able to lead America out of the darkness they create every single day.

It is the same thing which happens every time race is discussed
Each side in the divide jumps on anything which is said.
What Obama said becomes more suspect in the minds of many Whites because they saw the tapes of Obama's minister.
Blacks who have been stopped by police or can't catch a cab for no apparent reason other than their skin color will say Obama was correct.
I'm certain that David Axelrod, Obama's campaign advisor, must have cringed when he heard what Obama said
Look what happened to Geraldine Ferraro when her comment was splashed all over the front pages
The only people who really benefit from this are the race baiters who make their living by keeping racism alive - Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Wright to name 3
Why would anyone think we can have an open and honest conversation about racial issues in this age of political correctness?

The real problem is that the Grandmother is statistically correct. Where is the condemnation of the group that causes this to happen? Are we still giving the racist comments a free pass because of skin color? A bigot is a bigot regardless of excuses.

Obama has been taking a lot of heat for what Wright has been saying.
But this time it was B-O himself who said "typical white person". Now he sounds like his crazy uncle.
This whole episode has given us all a greater insight into who B-O really is and where his head and his heart really are.

Maybe the fact that Obama said this himself, and not Wright, is the reason all of the people that were on the "Obama Condemns Pastor But Defends Continued Relationship" defending Obama and saying that his continued association with Wright didn't mean Obama agreed with him are not here to comment on this story (and btw, I could see how in some cases that might could have been true, but after Obama saying this, well...). Or maybe it's because this story came from that far right-wing Huffingtonpost?

The fact that he said anything at all about his grandmother in a speech like this is abominable. The news media was all over her to ask her about her "racist" comments. Would you do that to your grandmother? Then the phrase "typical white". That is a racist phrase. Any color or race you want to put after the word typical is a comment on the whole race.

Thank God the Wright ( and I refuse to use the title rev.) Jesse Jackass and Sharpless along with the idiot Farrakan are not a picture of the "Typical black guy in America." Hey how about Decon on King of Queens"? Aren't we all like Doug and Decon? No matter our color just trying to go through lifes ups and downs and make a better life for our families and ourselves?
While serving in the military a fellow balck soldier was being kicked out for drug use. He laughed and said " I cant even say racism, the NCO is Black, The 1st Sgt is Black and the Commander is Black.
The point is we all new how unimportant but often two sided racism is.

it's amazing......apparently this guy is not that bright....he is bleeding to death from a thousand paper cuts and he continues inflict more cuts on himself.......he is trying to defend the indefensible in Rev. Wright and it's a battle he is not going to win..........meanwhile today his poll numbers are in free fall

I was one of those who marched, protested and voted in the 60's to change things in America. I was proud to walk along side of black people to make things right in America and to ensure "freedom and liberty" for all. Now I feel like I was just told, "go home whitey we don't want or need you around anymore". Btw, white folks have feelings too.
One more thing my Scottish ancestors had to leave their country because they were being hunted down and murdered. The English were practicing genocide against the Highland Scottish Clans. That's mostly forgotten now, just a footnote in history but should I and my family hate all English now because of it? Of course not, because if you live in the past you can never really have a future.

Hey Wolfie, I could have told you they'd backstab you. I grew up in Louisiana. Lots of blacks everywhere you look here in Dixie. You can give, and give, and give to them, but the one time you say no, they turn around and backstab you. Although I don't like the Clintons, all you have to do is look at the way black voters are treating them now. However I will admit that it's pretty sweet to see Bill and Hillary getting it in the back after the way they backstabbed we southern whites all those years. LOL

Everyone has some degree of personal prejudice against something or someone. (Personally, the strongest bias I currently find within myself is a dislike of the willful ignorance and nasty name-calling enjoyed by so many neoconservatives.) Today's game seems to be picking apart one of the greatest potential presidents this country has ever seen. Because he's half-black or because he's more liberal than they are or simply because he's a Democrat? Certainly not because of any rants from his old pastor or his comments about his grandmother...these are merely means to a preconceived end. Doesn't matter. This old white Southern woman has one bit of advice for those posting mean-spirited remarks: Don't Let the Next Page Knock You Down As It Turns. Your era is coming to an end.
