    The least surprising thing about racists is that very few actually admit their racism. Rev. Wright never has, as far as I know.

    The only people who ADMIT to being racists are people in white sheets. I have friends who are racists, but when I call them out on it it's "I was just joking. That word is funny"

    is Obama racist for saying his "grandfather was a typical white person"? or do you subscribe to the theory that only whites can be racist? I'm not at all saying Obama is racist but if Hillary or McCain said someone was a typical black man all hell would break loose.

    Isn't it quite possible since they had a 20 year friendship that Obama does believe a lot of what Reverand Wright says? Not saying he does, but isn't it possible? that makes it relevant.

    "I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." - John McCain

    Did all hell break loose?

    Truth is, it's not unusual for people - politicians and commentators included - to talk about common attitudes in the black and white communities. It's the word "typical" that people are upset about. If he had said his grandmother's views were common for a white person of the time, there'd be less "outrage."

    not true when it comes to blacks. Say anything remotely disparaging against blacks and you are vilified. see Don Imus, see Jimmy the Greek

    Jimmy the Greek's comments had more to do with eugenics than culture. And Don Imus's comments, while blown out of proportion, were about making fun of accomplished women athletes based solely on their physical appearance - again, not about culture or attitudes.

    But that's beside the point. The point is I hear commentary on black culture and white culture all the time, so it is "true when it comes to blacks." The only problem with Obama's comments was that he used the word "typical" when he should have used a more benign phrase like "common among."

    As much as I've tried to avoid paying attention to or commenting about the good reverend, I can't help but make a few observations. First off, for going on and on about black inequalities and really going out of his way to show how black he is (see his black college band dance deal), he's pretty high yella. I'd say he's more like 10% "black" and 90% "white". He kinda reminds me of that SNL skit in the 80's when Eddie Murphy went undercover as a white guy. Look it up if you haven't seen it. Anyway, that got me thinking that maybe this isn't Obama's reverend after all. Maybe someone killed him and the guy we see on TV is a doppelganger. And let me ask you this- when's the last time you've seen Karl Rove and he together?! I'm just saying...

    you know your right. I'm sure my friends of 40+ years secretly openly rant about hating certain races and have just choose to leave me out of it this whole time. and I'm not giving mccain a pass about hagee. I guess I'm just smart enough to realize the little extent of their actual relationship.

    No it isn't. Jesus was more than likely black. As were Moses, Noah... and on and on.

    i'm not a real big fan of internet acronyms and text message speak, but LMFAO!

    Absolutely hilarious shit.
