Barack Obama Thinks “Typical White” People Are Racists
Wow… The truth inches out little by little from the mouth of the great Uniter…
Go ahead folks. Support him. Buy into the used car salesman.
As we’re finding out more and more about Barack Obama and his positions and history, it’s becoming increasingly clear that he has some deep-seeded issues and judging by this, he’s not that much different from his wonderful spiritual advisor.

Umm… “typical white person”? He has actually offended me. I actually got offended by the way he said that. Can you imagine what would happen if one of the other presidential hopefuls used the phrase “typical black person”?
Sorry, but if he gets the nom, I’d either vote republican or not at all.

Yeah this certainly doesn’t look good, and I’m somewhat offended.
He’s right though.
On the other hand, a white person would be absolutely picked apart for saying the same thing about any other group. In the case of a white man, even saying “a typical woman” (while implying white or otherwise - it’s not really important here) would land him in the fryer.
By the way, it’s “deep seated”.

I’d love to hear his analysis of “typical Mexicans” or “typical Asians”. I’d really like to hear what I’m all about when he talks about “typical Jewish people” or “typical Jewish women” or “typical white Jewish women”. Keep opening your mouth, Senator.

This is the kind of thing that should cause people concern. The next president should not be making comments like that, especially at this point in time. This should be all over the news.
I’m not against him because of his race, but neither am I for him based on race. But when he makes comments saying “typical white person”… he is bringing race into things in a fairly negative way. I mean, come on, at least say “typical people”… he did not need to narrow it down to a specific race.
Before, I felt like I would support either Hillary or Barak, depending on who won… I agree more with Hillary on things than I do with him, but on a lot of points they’re the same (or close enough). But after this and feeling like he’d take a weak stance on dealing with certain world leaders, I am actually more scared of the democratic candidate (though I still haven’t given up on Hillary) than the republican.
This really pisses me off. This is going to piss me off more than the whole Gore/Bush Florida Hanging Chad Debacle.
