Obama’s Grandmother is a “Typical White Person”
Written by Sam on March 20th, 2008Straight from the horse’s mouth:
“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 the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it…” - Senator Barack Obama
And the Huffington Post has the audio clip that you can listen to.
I wonder what exactly is a “typical white person?” I do know one thing, though. Obama isn’t going to win any election without a significant amount of votes from all of those “typical white people” in America.
I wonder how long the media circus would go on if John McCain had to explain what a typical black person is?

Ok…. so President is not the most eloquent speaker. What does this have to do with Senator Obama insulting all white people?
Now The Senator simply mis-spoke and I actually commend him for bringing up the race issue.

While Obama is definitely speaking about some people, I have to say he misses the point. Most people who see someone sketchy down the street regardless of race try to avoid them. Behaving like that is not some racial nonsense, but basic human reaction to anyone regardless of race that appears sketchy.
Roger… get a life please.

Guess what: Obama is HALF-WHITE
Get a life? bwahahahaha. There are 8 years of quotes just like those. Some of you kept voting for the moron and can’t stand the truth. Stop voting for a republican just because.
This is my life, calling out the fools who voted for Bush and Dick and can’t admit they made a mistake.
You have Nothing on Obama, so suddenly race is the issue, does the Dixie flag fly high over your homes?
I’ve read the abortion quote also (on another board), all of these quotes that are completly out of context… it’s funny…. panic! if a black man wins the election your place as a white man will be threatened!
When should we expect the Swiftboat lies?
