So it's not true? Would it have been better if the line read "She's typical of her generation, who, you know...."
The whole country is slipping over the race issue, like it or not.
Most people don't have a problem if they hear one of their friends say about someone else, "oh, he's this black person I know" or "he's this Asian person I know." But "oh, he's this white person I know"? To many, that sounds a little jarring, as Obama's quote proves.
I would avoid the whole ting like the plague, but they got the dirt on his pastor so up the flagpole it goes...
but geez I would stop verbally adding to it if I were him...
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Yes, he broke the general rule that "white is neutral, and therefore shouldn't be mentioned." It was a "mistake", a "gaff." But think about why is was a mistake or a gaff.
Oh, please.
When Obama's grandmother was young, being fearful of a black guy walking down the street was in fact a VERY typical white response. Acknowledging racism doesn't make one a racist.
how is being afraid of one group of people being a racist???
im afraid of snakes, am i a snake racist?
the fact of the matter as Obama explained it but of course you wont bring it up is that his grandmother was afraid of the crime that african americans were committing at the time and she was afraid of that...did you miss that part?
and to say "typical white person" is racist, no matter how you spin it
Obama has a stronghold on alot of you that is scary...
Bullfuckingshit. i just got through saying that a week a go, i wouldn't have thought an Obama loss we be because of racism. Disagree with his political platform and i can't accuse you of racism (just of being unimformed ). THIS line of attacks is racist. Period. And it comes straight from the spiral notebook of guys like hannity who have been blabbing about this stupid, racist, bullshit for a fucking year now.
I am in no way racist and I posted this
I just don't believe Obama is the Messiah sent to save us all
Maybe, just maybe you will wake from your Obama slumber and see what he's all about

First of all Obama didn't say the typical white person is racist. Not even close. You are the one spinning it
Second of all, are you suggesting that all crime was being committed by African Americans?
i'm terrified of spiders. Scared to death of them. Absolutely phobic. Your analogy works against you because my fear of spiders and yours of snakes, is irrational. In indicates a one sided prejudicial view of spiders and snakes, respectively, and a general misunderstanding of snakes and spiders.
Finally, you know this shit has gotten out of hand when guys at fox news, of all places, start walking of the set because of it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/21/mayhem-at-fox-news-ancho_n_92743.html

you lost all credibility using the huffington post!!!!!!!
he used the "typical white person" analogy referencing white people during that period of time, but to say that every white person was like that is assasine...yeah there was racism, i dont deny that at all, but to group all white people in like that is wrong
using words like typical, most, all, majority...you get the point is setting yourself up for trouble especially when you dont have facts and figures to back it up

The link wasn't to a huffington post opinion piece. It was a simple news article. At least one anchor walked off the set and another chastised the network in response to their biased spin of this shit. When the guys at FOX NEWS respond this way, you know it has gotten out of hand.
Its a news story. Not an opinion piece. The fact that huffington post is the host to this particular link doesn't make it less news worthy.
"When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."
I chalk up "typical white person" to a Bushism. It was a silly thing to say, and as Chris Wallace said in one of the clips above, he probably wouldn't say it again, but he didn't mean it the way it sounded out of context.

He said "typical white person"???? OMG RACIST!!!! He clearly hates white people! When he's president he'll deport all whites to other countries!!!!!!!111

This is getting tiresome.
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

Geraldine Ferraro gets fired and what happens to Obama???
Geraldine Ferraro gets fired and what happens to Obama???
First of all Geraldine Ferraro wasn't fired. She voluntarily stepped down as an act of complete showmanship and so she could keep running her mouth without people being able to directly link clinton to it. Next, i think you're right. Obama should be fired from his OWN CAMPAIGN :rolleyes:

How could you even go about firing yourself?
note: must consult Dr Phil and Donald Trump on this one

cmon
i know you see how wrong it is to call anyone a "typical" anything
just generalizations
but if i say a "typical black man" then i'm racist
fuk that shit
so in conclusion i would like to say Obama in my opinion is a "typical black man", all bark and no bite
I think Geraldine Ferraro statements were accurate. Hilary and Obama have the SAME exact stance on most issues. Right now, its just a popularity contest and Barack was winning, and now...i have no idea whats going to happen.
And about his Grandmother, i just think he should have focused on his crazy reverend rather than bring his white grandmother into this speech. It was just....out of context.
everybody, no matter the color or origin, holds their race above other races. it is a natural and necessary force in the forward movement of human beings. it's inescapable. it's completely fucking ludicrous, but it exists within every living person. as a whole, we are insecure and nervous creatures, therefore, we are comforted by holding onto the belief that "we" are better than "them."
I disagree with this premise. If that WERE the case, why am I constantly lectured that I owe black folks a "crutch" in the form of affirmative action and I ought to feel guilty b/c more blacks are imprisoned b/c they have an inferiority complex based on the color of their skin. Yes, that's why they turn to crime in more numbers and more live in poverty. Please....
