Obama - Race and 'Typical White People' speech

[ThunderheadNebula]

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Fransico:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"



[ThunderheadNebula]

3 /4

From Obama’s Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the {Muslims} should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' page 261.

[ThunderheadNebula]

2 /4

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

[ThunderheadNebula]

1 /4 Obama’s Anti-American sentiment.

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating> myself to whites.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

THIS VIDEO IS SO DUMB OK SO STOP WORRIYING ABOUT BARACK OBAMA IS MY FAOVRTIE PRESIDENT OUT OF ALL OK BITCH.

[DocLeggz]

Wow, totally classless to show such disrespect to the woman who raised him, without whom he would be nothing. I can't wait until his kids grow up, maybe when Sasha or Malia says something that makes him look like a fool he'll understand how his Grandmother probably felt after this comment. Just another reason we should've all gotten behind Hillary Clinton and saved ourselves the pain of this guy's Bush impression.

[HubertWolfen]

oh thats right like black don't randomly attack whites , in america, in europe, even in africa....the old white grandma hold's on tight to her purse when she's sees a black its because thats just what they do....and its not a society problem since they have this pattern all over the world.

[OenghusLok]

IF I SAID THE WORDS, FOR ANY REASON, "TYPICAL BLACK PERSON", "TYPICAL ASIAN PERSON", TYPICAL HISPANIC", "TYPICAL MUSLIM", "TYPICAL RUSSIAN", ... I'd be booed off the world stage.  Period.

[LecceDiPane]

over here in europe we all human beings, not matter what colour!

[tntitan1115]

not everyone is racist. i do however believe that everyone can be stereotypical. i can't read minds and i am not an expert but it sounds as though this is a case of harmless stereotyping and not a malicious racist comment. not so different from saying that the typical southerner likes nascar or the typical northerner likes to hate southerners. lol. all jokes aside, i'm a white person and i find no reason to take offense to this.

[coaly13]

yeah thousands of black people that have been hardcore republicans their whole life voted for obama simply because they saw what looked to be a black person like them. thats racist, when you give up all your political views and everything you have said you stand for over the years just to get a man of color in office. its pretty obvious what was going on when you voted like that. that just proves you dont care what his views are as long as he is black and in the white house racist traders.

[cagedchild]

It is the way people are taught. American culture gets off on race wars. It's always on news,tv,advertising, it's easier to teach people to be ignorant so when it's comes time for a new law that takes away freedom, they put something else out there to distract us.

[toadabc]

"typical white person" I can't even imagine the shit the left would give if a white cadidate said "typical black".

[nockuout1]

aberrabtdevelopment, God you're ignorant..

ok, history lesson coming ===....

yeah columbus landed in the new world in 1492 but didn't settle here it was the PILGRIMS that came on the mayflower in 1620 ( thats 128 years later) to settle the new world. how can there be corruption from 1492 with just indians living in tee pees, what was their government called? you are an idiot.. lol

[jus04]

but i mean, he's half white.. talking about his own white grandmother.

so if he went and said his dad is a typical black man, that would make him a racist against blacks too?

[eschuela]

He said that he has disdain for the white blood that runs through his veins.

Type in youtube search "Barack Obama racist comment" and see the 2nd video.

[mrshreds69]

keep in mind adolf hitler was half jewish.

[cagedchild]

health care just passed, this is going to be obama's halocaust on america, you pay or go to jail.

[Fawkes121]

You ignorant conservative fools make me laugh.

[rdbn25]

let me ask you a question how the hell can you possibly call conservatives ignorant fools when your buddy is quoted by saying that his grandmother is a typical white person by judging someone when they cross the street? Are you kidding me? what if the situation was in reverse and Mcain said you know Obama's wife is just acting like a typical black women and she was eating a piece of chicken or something there would be a freaking outrage by the left.

[aberrantdevelopment]

he got a wholllllllle lotta votes just for being "black". you can take that as racist, or you cant stop being a fucking idiot and just realize its the truth. it makes no difference what his color is, he's a politician, what do you expect?

[jefrench1999]

White america is dead. Deal with it crackas.

[art11art12]

You're all slaves to propaganda.

[belk1981]

typical ignorant comment from a racist i thank God i did not vote for barack obama

[aberrantdevelopment]

you can thank "god" all you want that you didnt vote for barack. the bottom line is, voting makes no difference. from 1492 on, this country has been living on corruption. the natives had it right, european christians went and fucked that up.

[billatheccatk]

who cares, we'll all be dead in a 100 years

[2xtream]

billatheccath: you care only because you voted for this goon. HE is a racist pig that many are finely seeing. Not only does he hate others he hates America. And why he is ruining it as fast as he can.

[fallbrookchris]

BO is such a fucking racist asshole who can't even legally hold the office he had everything handed to him by ppl like soros

any smart person knows that blacks attack rape rob and kill whites at 62 times the rate of other races if his white trash mud shark whores mothers mother wasn't afraid of blacks she would probably have been killed by one

I pray they AIDS or another OD finally takes BO's incompetent racist crack smoking ass burn in hell you incompetent lying fraud you F-ed everything up

[Fawkes121]

You're such a sack of shit. You can't even speak proper english! Oh, and nice statistic!! hahahahahahahahahhaha... NUT JOB!

[dakidkossreturns]

lol he`s white his self so whats the big problem

[banditoxviii]

wow =. Really don't get why you make this a big thing...

[wookie2601]

And I voted for Your Ignorant Ass. As did alot of "typical White people". Dumb Fuck!! You better change your Dumbass attitude and open your fucking head.

[wookie2601]

How can you say break through it when you haven't even breached it yourself. "typical white person" is the most ignorant comment I've heard all day. So white people are the only racists in the world now. They are the only ones who see's a person and has an idea in their head about what to expect from that "person". So when I walk in the fucking Ghetto with a suit and tie everyone just calls me brother right? There isn't a typical anyone. Ignorant Fucking Bullshit.

[itzbigant91]

what the shit Obama? i fukn trusted u.

[deathmarine666]

I don't fear no fucking black man,what's that shit.

[XMulaylX]

i hope this man wins

[twistedunion]

hey buddy he won already.

[bijayada]

ur funny man!

[bopn]

Yes they are both new world order cronies as was Bush, Clinton and Bush snr. 911 was an inside job

[1morevoice]

Thank you Mr President. You are awesome. God bless President OBAMA.

[rcooper260]

lord as i lay my head down tonight i know you will not make this country suffer long, please take obama out of our misery soon!!

[commonsense2008]

Black people have been enslaved, tortured, and humiliated for ages by whites. It is the way it is fokes. How come people don't hear "we have to break through it"?

[wing667]

just saw some polls for mac.. It's not looking good I'm alittle worried

[wing667]

white people get out the vote

McCain/Palin08

[shadowmorman]

Haha... looking back, it is laughable now... wasn't even close!

[americanillusionist]

maybe obama is a non practicing muslim?

[cagefite007]

Now I want everyone to imagine...

John Mccain-"She is a typical black person"

Yeah he would be pronounced a racist, KKK member who hates all blacks.

The reverse discrimination in this country makes me sick. Fuck you Obama, fuck you and your bigot racist church.

[shadowmorman]

So if reverse discrimination makes you sick, then what do you feel about all the regular discrimination?

[mormongirl11]

remember 9/11 muslims were the ones who did it obama is a muslim are we really going to vote for him just becasuse he is black

[scj16]

PEOPLE! WHO CARES? HE IS WHITE!

[eschuela]

Well I am brown and I think Obama is a lying piece of shit.

[wing667]

same here

[airsonix]

american citisens are so stupid to chosse a president as obama, not beacause he is black (will give black freedome) but beacause he is a ,uslim with a muslim agenda that will bring death to a merica!

[airsonix]

obama,

your a BLACK MUSLIM! admit it!

[jimmybones1989]

yeah, and you are a typical black person who thinks (or wants to think) that all white people are against you.

[talmeida20]

he's a racist marxist...we all know that

[thiswaythat]

"a reaction that has been bred into our experiences, that don't go away." :50

So she is fearful due to past experiences, and that fear does not go away. Not because she is racist, but due to experiences that makes her fear a race??

Interesting, clarifying, use of the word 'experience'. Not to be confused by an opinion based on hate, but on experience.

[sevenlemon]

How would people react if Mccain gave an opinion while using the phrase "typical Black Person." He would be crucified by the media and public outcry. So why is Obama's comment tolerated? Is that not a racist comment?

[googletoogle]

@sevenlemon Tends to happen when your race is enslaved for hundreds of years.

[thirdshift47]

Fuck Obama--he's not racist enough for me;

Cynthia McKinney's got my vote.MCKINNEY '08!!

[stvrules]

"typical white person" unbelieveable comment the pig would suggest all white people are some kind of mindless hateful thugs. well in that case the typical black person, won't work, can't swim and hates dogs!

I know I will get trashed for that comment but then again black men can't be predjudice their picked on therefore they have carte blanche on insults and ignorance.

[warmongermccain]

Get ready to march to the gas chamber whitey!!!!

[stvrules]

Funny since us white boys own everything, run everything and in general succeed everywhere we go. Sorry sucker

[warmongermccain]

stvrules... You are the typical white BOY with your 2 inch dick.

[heavensxnight]

Yeah I guess that's why I'm hearing more and more of you guys every time I call into Microsoft now, huh?

[stvrules]

Again we own, run, finance and generally dominate the world and everyone hates us for our success. Sorry we work so hard. try it sometime it's quite liberating.

[heavensxnight]

Wow, you couldn't tell that was scathing sarcasm seeing as outsourcing has become a huge problem for middle class workers in America, huh?

By the way, the media was all over Rev. Wright's racially charged rhetoric, why then, if Obama and Michelle are racist pigs, it hasn't become a prolific media story yet?

Do you see the mistake you just made?

You are the one twisting people's perception of the two that perhaps no one else but Fox News is actually considering. That's piggish libel.

[bourassa101]

This man Obama is such a lier I cant even stand to hear him speek this country needs help not a man who is so full of himself that he will lie every time he is in a corner ..sorry not my vote.

[MADMIKESHOKING]

obama = typical black person

[pvtbrianhartman]

am i a typical white person?

[MountAthos]

Obama attended anti-white anti-american hate rallies at his church for 20 years. A church that taught that AIDS was invented by whites to mass murder blacks, a church that chanted "GOD DAMN AMERICA" over and over to a cheering congregation, only one week after 9/11. Obama's "bitter" message to Rural Pennsylvanian's is, "Vote For Me, You Corncob-Smokin', Banjo-Strokin' Chicken-Chokin' Cousin-Pokin' Inbred Hillbilly Racist Morons." Amazing anyone votes for this bigot who will divide not unite

[Godheval]

Anti-white, anti-American? Would that make him anti-YOU? If so, he's got my vote.

[eschuela]

Well here is something for you racist idiot. I AM NOT WHITE.

[eschuela]

See everyone...this is a typical RACIST Obama supporter.

[chrisandnataly]

obama aint black obama is mixed so he is white and black so wut tha fucc iz u talkin about... and who invented cars computers an shyt.... WHITE PPL... dang stop hatin...

[ineedanamee]

exactly what is a "typical white person" anyway?

[ineedanamee]

exactly what is a "typical white person" anyway?

[AngryPirateProd]

No one seemed to mind when Obama lectured the black community on what they need to do to improve themselves. Why can't he criticize the tendency in the white community to harbor undercurrents of racism?

[tuberstank]

"...I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that, by doing so, I was integrating myself to whites..."

Barrack Obama in the book: Dreams of my father.

Ashamed to be partially white at a very young age! And you white people are voting for him?

[Godheval]

The book you didn't read. In typical douchebag fashion, another detractor takes a snippet of his words without reading the larger context. He was not ashamed, merely becoming aware of the dimensions of race and their implications.

[tuberstank]

I read the entire book, asshole! I will send you more quotes, so you can continue to look like a dickhead!

Read about Ray, and their comments on how, what and when to say things around white folks.

[eschuela]

well, Godheval, is that quote in the book? Did Obama write that?

Yes.

It appears the true douchebag is the one who posts ignorantly without knowing the facts.

The fact THAT Obama DID write that.

[stvrules]

Shut up you political correct tv educated moron. the man is a racisit hate filled pig just watch his wife and the way she speaks and acts. i'm sick of you huessein obama suppports saying you only take a snippet of his comments and twist them. if that's the case then wow the man makes a lot of poorly constructed "snippet comments" that allow us to "detract" from his character. he's a liar/lawyer pig whoes trained to lie. he says what he means and it's not good. socialist pig pure and simple

[nebaioth]

Obama is as much WHITE as he is black. Does he secretively hate HIMSELF? How about his entire WHITE family who loved and raised him solely, does he secretively hate them too?

Only idiots buy this! Hillary Clinton's supporters are grasping for straws! So, Obama is racist against HIMSELF?

Top White Democratic leaders are ALL BACKING OBAMA!!! They all know something! They know both Obama and Hillary, and none of them are supporting her!

WHITES UNITE FOR OBAMA '08!

[nobuyukinyuu]

obama a racist on his own family and white people? Like every other time I've heard it on youtube, these allegations make perfect NONsense.

[Skywatcher97731]

The sad part about that pastors speech was that he was right. The harsh truth always hurts people to their core because if he wasn't right, no one would pay him any attention.

God Damn America.

[Skywatcher97731]

But there ARE such a thing as typical White people.

[rbajaj75]

Another Stupid Guy, swifboated by gutter politics. You and your future is mortgaged by typical washington politicians like bush, clintons,maccain and GOP. Wake up before you will be cleaning roads because the country will mortgaged to bank of china, who is financing this crazy war that has killed 4000 US brave soldiers. Vote for Barack, he is our only hope.

[SeekerNLife]

His Grandmother is still alive.

She lives in Hawaii.

They are keeping her hidden.

America has a right to question everything about someone who is running for President.

[MatthieuBellAmi]

How can Obama be a "racist" while he is HALF WHITE ?

So he is racist towards his mother family ?

[arytonjames]

are you inbred?

Obama doesn't play fair? Wants a fixed race like Bush! Didn't vote for a revote in Michigan & Florida, Obama played hide and seek, what a joker! Call's whites typical. Obamas words. Just like OJ, saids one thing but realy does other things? Just like Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Obama doesn't tell the truth.

[Hikaru2g]

The media and some of the people in this society are angry because Obama told the truth and it was the same for the late Pope John Paul II they got mad at him because he was talking about the racism that goes on in society. The media wanted to make him look like he was starting something when he was not he was just telling the Truth just like Obama

[rayzor3]

Again I say... What if Clinton or McCain in discussing race used the term "typical black people". Jackson and Sharpton would be eating up all the media time screaming about injustice. Does the word double standard mean anything? That is not a hate campaign... That's reality...

[Godheval]

It's true that the media and society is more sensitive to racial remarks towards African-Americans than towards "white people", but that's because "white people" (which is to say nothing of the individual groups of which it consists prior to taking on the "white" identity) have not been disenfranchised, or members of an aggrieved minority. Instances of racism against "white people" are words cast into a vacuum. They have no effect other than MAYBE to hurt someone's feelings.

[Godheval]

But outwards racism against disenfranchised minority groups is another reminder of America's shameful past and only somewhat redeemed present. People don't want to think about the country's slavery foundation or that Jim Crow was only 50 years ago. And racism against "black people" forces them to do that.

[rayzor3]

I totally agree that this country has a terrible PAST when it comes to the issue of slavery and oppression. Only a fool would argue that. However, thankfully all black people don't live in the past. They move forward, work for what they have, and take advantage of the opportunities afforded to minority individuals in the present day. The black individuals that you refer to aren't "forced" to believe the way they do. They aren't slaves and white people don't own slaves.

[rayzor3]

There is a term called "reverse discrimination". There is much of that going on today... Why? Because of what happened before you and I were born? Give me a break. As I said, "What if Clinton or McCain in discussing race used the term "typical black people". Jackson and Sharpton would be eating up all the media time screaming about injustice." ...And the uneducated, uninformed black man would fall right into their snare. Again... Double Standard... You can't have it both ways.

[terrence0258]

In the world we live in there is a justice system setup to determine the severity of crimes. In this country blacks have never enslaved anyone or forced them into segregation. My grandmother group up in the deep south were they walked 5 miles to go to school and had white kids pass them on a bus who at times spat on them on their way by. She couldn't enter restaurants through the front door, she saw family members called niggers. Sorry but things don't just magically dissapear in one generation.

[PriestessLeah]

Of course, the LAWFUL exercise of racism may have ended. But there is still racism against blacks. A lot of it, please dont lie to yourselves.

[rayzor3]

Yes, there is racism against blacks, I never suggested there wasn't. That just shows how irrational (lacking reason) some people are. However, there is also plenty of racism against whites (from black people). People can't justify either one, regardless of the past. Things don't need to "magically disappear", individuals on both sides just need to step up and be better than the "racism" problem. I will now make an end to my comments.

[sDs61678]

What kind of judgement does a person have who attends a church for 20 years with a pastor spewing racism, conspiracy theories, and anti-Americanism?

How does generalizing about an entire ethnicity of people speak truth to power?

How does this intense focus on race bring about a post-racial America?

If your words and actions don't agree-one of them is a lie. His far-left actions speak louder than election year politicking.

[Godheval]

You're such a tool. You just reiterate what you hear on television without a single independent thought. Do you REALLY believe that Reverend Wright spent a whole 20 years spouting hate? And that hundreds of members of his congregations sat and listened to that, rather than any kind of uplifting message, for TWENTY YEARS? If you believe that, you're not only a tool, but a complete moron.

I fucking agree I am mixed white mother and my aunt please that's all she talked about in brooklyn she loved me dearly but mad very racism remarks to my father very typical white person who fears blacks don't get mad once again cus be was speaking the truth whites hate the truth I know I'm part and oh no I'm not aniti American just cus I'm telling the truth white always say your anitiamerican when you tell the truth about them

[rayzor3]

Dang, learn how to put a sentance together!

[shoobedoobewaa]

to the poster, his grandmother is still alive though in poor health, and is not giving interviews, in Hawaii.

ps. Clinton 08, McCain 08, Donald Duck 08

anybody but BO.

[suebee62]

higorillaz, I agree totally with you. If hillary had said anything similar to that comment, blacks would be out in the streets rioting. Blacks are more prejudice than whites!

[Higorillaz]

Well, ok, lol, I'm not racist against blacks, i was just dogging the media.

[Higorillaz]

Some say this is taken out of proportion, but let's create our own little scenario here. What if CLINTON were to support a racist, white, minister in Arkansas, and said he was her role model, guese what, the media would be on her ass, and she'd be forced to resign. And if she even said something such as TYPICAL BLACK PERSON, she'd be fucking arrested on the spot. Obama, YOU SUCK! Shame on you!

Clinton '08

[uthoria]

"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, you know, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, there is a reaction that has been bred into our experiences that don't go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way." -Obama

in other words...Grandma = good but sometimes white ppl act a certain way that can be misinterpreted as racists but actually is not....wow, what an insult (rolls eyes)

[eschuela]

"Grandma = good but sometimes white ppl act a certain way that can be misinterpreted as racists but actually is not"

that is racism. That is racist. He didn't say SOMETIMES, OBAMA SAID 'TYPICAL'.

[mcj1308]

Absolutely racist comment!!! how Obama dares to say he will give some "beneficts" to latin people if he is being racist with those people that can vote for him!... not acceptable, if you voted for him, think it better when the big one comes, all "typical white people" should think before vote!

Be aware, the REAL Obama is showing now..."Typical racist, liar, and (God knows what more) guy"

[atyg1967]

My grandparent's generation are wary of blacks, especially in Philadelphia. I was mugged and assaulted. But looking back, I see it as a crime due to unemployment problems in Philly. I admit, when I walk the streets now, and when a poorly dressed guy gets near me, my antenna awakens. But that's just a reflex. In my heart and soul, I support Obama, he can heal these divisions of black and white, rich and poor. I, like my many friends, will vote for him in our upcoming primary.

[mcj1308]

Dude, I'm not racist but I totally disagree with that type of comments from a Candidate, he made a lot and he has to think more before talk, specially if "typical white, hispanic, black or whatever people" is supporting him, don't you think so?

[atyg1967]

Well, I agree with Obama on what he said about typical white folks because so many of my relatives (who live in cities) are wary of black men on the streets. Plain truth. But we all must move beyond this fear. We have to try our best. That's why I feel Obama's the guy that will start the healing process. Sure my folks aren't changing overnight, but Obama's made all of us look at ourselves and ask hard questions.

[bestwayusa1]

Busted again Obama's true colors shine through, saids his gramma is like the typical white. Bringing race into his so called togetherness theme. He a fake wake up America before it's to late. Come out of the fog!!!

[sandiegoecho]

Should McCain tap Dr. Rice for his running mate, you will see "typical white people" supporting this ticket in droves because: (i) white America is not nearly as racist as the race baiters and victim exploiters would have you believe and (ii) both John McCain and Condi Rice actually are qualified to be President.

[thanks4tuningin]

Wow this is so silly it is being blown out of proportion

[alilovesavon]

Is that the words of a "typical" black person?

[rayzor3]

Again I say... What if Clinton or McCain in discussing race used the term "typical black people". Jackson and Sharpton would be eating up all the media time screaming about injustice. Does the word double standard mean anything? That is not a hate campaign... That's reality...

[SJMarie]

Whites and blacks have to stop being so easily offended by remarks. He is not saying that white people are bad. He is talking about their shared experiences of race because of stereotypical images of blacks and segregation.

[tubeheader101]

SJMarie:

You know exactly what he is saying. By saying that the "typical white person" has negative reactions to black people, he is EXACTLY making a generalization that white people prejudge black people. This IS A RACIST COMMENT!!! Whether or not he's discussing the subject of racism, or bigotry, or prejudices, HE MADE CLEAR RACIST STATEMENTS!!!

I don't know if he is a racist or not, but THESE ARE RACIST COMMENTS!!!

Why is this acceptable to you...or anyone for that matter???

[RJW1977]

How can people defend this statement? This is one of the most racial comments I've ever heard a politician say. Forget about his pastor, Barack just blew his own foot off with a freakin shotgun.

[stew4lunch]

SJM

RE "...shared experiences of race because of stereotypical images of blacks and segregation." I suppose the apotheosis of the typical nigga* person has made him or her unimpeachably incapable of racist and stereotypical conceptions of white persons. As for me, a unique white person, the Baracko Bummer remark is not nearly so

offensive as the goddamn! America double standard, you goddamn America! skull sans neuron, typical fool.

*quoting Niggaz With Attitude

[SJMarie]

he is not being racist. stop being silly and understand what he is saying. white people harbor fears of blacks because of stereotypical images that are potrayed by the media and also segregation. he is saying that they are not bad people. These are their experiences. Stop the hate campaign. enough!

[FerrariBell]

I totally agree with you! I'm white, and these white people coming out of the woodwork to complain about racism is laughable. Unfortunately, there is white privilege, and it just seems like these people are afraid to loose it. It's sad to watch a country squabble like this.

[tubeheader101]

I don't know if he is a racist or not, but THESE ARE RACIST COMMENTS!!!

[SJMarie]

He also said typical black person, in another response to the question about race. Bad choice of words, but it's idiotic to conclude that he is racist when he is half white. What he is saying is that we have to put people's prejudice feelings into context based on their experiences.

[santayana2008]

Show me where he EVER said "typical black person" and I will send you $10.

[SJMarie]

It was aired on Cspan during a press conference after Bill richardson endorsed him in PA, last week. Cspan showed the whold rally and conference after the rally. I wish people would watch cspan because this organization shows everything without edit.

I have researched the internet for days looking for some example, even the one you site here. You're wrong..it never happened. Obama is allowed to be a racist. White people are not.

[alilovesavon]

So, isnt it true then that black people harbor fears of white people because of stereotypes?.... My guess is, the typical black response would be "Tssss... Nah..." Correct?

[SJMarie]

Actually, it is the same for blacks. Now that americans are enraged and distracted over racial issues, they can forget about the real issues, less jobs, lower paying jobs, no healthcare, and no retirement. Isn't this what neocons want us to do, forget about the real issues.

Your boy Jeremiah Wright started it all!!

[Higorillaz]

Are you ignorant? Retarted? Have a fucking brain in your head? He's saying the typical white person is racist against blacks. You are a fucking idiot.

[GreatAmericanTruth]

He'll get whats coming to him.

[Godheval]

Yeah, the presidency.

[rayzor3]

Do we know what he's talking about? What if Clinton or McCain in discussing race used the term "typical black people". Jackson and Sharpton would be eating up all the media time screaming about injustice. Does the word double standard mean anything?

Who cares what he means - if he is so dumb that he can't understand his comments were racist, he shouldn't be running this country.

[2fresh4dell]

Why are you trying to get people to take this out of context.. Any sensible person knows what he is talking about and what he means!

[eschuela]

Actually I know what he means. He is trying to make excuses for his racist and anti-American minister. To do so he threw his grandmother, who raised him after his mother died, to protect his 'mentor' and spritual adviser. He did this by saying that all white people were typical racists.

[Godheval]

He never said that all white people were typical racists. Wow, way to complete switch his words around. He said "typical white people" and then went on to make a statement about racism, but I think he just misstepped. Throw "stereo" in front of typical, and I think that's more what he meant.

[eschuela]

You should listen to Obama agian. He is a racist.

[Godheval]

Sure he is. I'm sure he's racist against his mother and his sister and his grandmother. That makes a lot of sense.

[arytonjames]

i also hate my grandmother, am i rascist

A talk show host started his show using the same words but replaced black with white. I had not heard what had happened and thought "well, that guy is going to be fired"! Then he explained. Color descriptions have no place in eeryday comments! My friend, who is white, is coming over. Should be, "my fiend is coming over! Wake up! You made a typical black statement!
