Obama's Speech in Response to the Wright Controversy

First things first. Barak would send all of the white people back to Europe*. Afterwards, black people would naturally receive the bounty of increased government spending.

* except all of the really good looking white women with BAT

 

I can't wait till the wingnut's bring up the Reverend's, I mean Obama's, position on reparations for slavery...

oops

"I think the reparation we need right here in South Carolina is investment, for example in our schools. I did a town hall meeting in Florence, South Carolina, in an area called the corridor of shame. They've got buildings that students are trying to learn in that were built right after the Civil War. And we've got teachers who are not trained to teach the subjects they're teaching and high dropout rates. We've got to understand that there are corridors of shame all across the country. And if we make the investments and understand that those are our children, that's the kind of reparation that are really going to make a difference in America right now."

 

But Clinton doesn't support him back whereas Obama to this day still support Wright as a person. That's why this thing won't go away any time soon

 

That's based on mathematics and not polls though. Mathematically it is difficult for her to win. I actually don't care if she stays in, just that she shouldn't sacrifice her own party in the process.

 

this is getting messy..

Obama: Grandmother Was A "Typical White Person"

Ferraro upset to be lumped in with Obama's former pastor

 

Shameful. Calling people "a typical white person" is racist. Calling your own grandmother that is atrocious.

 

You think being typical and white is bad?

 

I can't believe people are still talking about this...

Wars, failing economy, health care, illegal immigration, terrorism, massive national debt...and THIS is all we can talk about it seems...

 

Obama has opportunity to form a new political party.

 

When it's referring to comments largely regarded as racist, yep.

think, FB, think

 

Because while Obama is twisting in the wind, Hillary is rolling on the floor cackling "Send in another clown!" Cackle, snork! snork! Obama's presidential aspirations may soon be on the floor with her, but stone cold dead.

 

I'd just prefer a man who was not mentored by a racist for 20 years run our country

 

I highly regret clicking view post. Your posts are a bore.

 

rac·ism
n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

How are you discriminating, prejudicing, or accounting for differences in human character or ability based on race by calling someone a "typical white person"?

Did they teach the difference between benign stereotyping and racism at Rice?

 

I'm not too big on Obama parsing his own speech.

Taken in context, a grandmother who raised his mixed race grandchild isn't that bad for a "typical white person".

But there's no doubt this is going to create a buzz among the non-racially minded polling public.

 

Texxx whining about racism.

comedy

 

You can't be this damn stupid. You can't go around making sterotypical comments about any particular race these days.

 

I will only say that if it wasn't texxx I wouldn't have responded that way.

But I can be incredibly damn stupid.

 

You must be a friend of Fuzzy Zoellers, he thinks he knows what the typical black person likes to eat. You guys are incredible.....

Every single one of you who has supported Obama in this thread should be disappointed that Obama said something that damn stupid.

 

Hillary can call those comments ill advised.

I'm getting sick from this rollercoaster of outrage from both sides...
