"But she is a typical white person."

So I am permitted to say that typical black people eat lots of fried chicken?

How is this not racist?

woops:

It should be “bred in”, rather than “inbred”, but the meaning and context are exactly the same.

Bottom line: This “beyond race” presidential aspirant has publicly declared that white people can be negatively stereotyped as having inbred fears of unfamiliar black men they encounter on the street.

Its wrong on so many levels - but clearly he is a hypocrite. Which is what the Wright tapes reveal.

“...the more Barack Obama tries to explain the peculiar statement he made Tuesday concerning his white grandmother's “fear of black men who passed by her on the street,” the more he's assuring attention regarding the matter”

No. The more he talks the more we know what he really believes. His lack of political prowess (the truth) is coming out.

Obama's maternal grandmother will be be blessed in heaven, for obama's dissing the commandment of "honor thy father and mother(elders)"

The poor women takes him in and raises him with love and this is the thanks she gets, being called a racist, for his own political aggrandizement.

Surely I can’t be the only person to notice that the only folks yammering on about racism, and consistently playing race as an issue in this campaign season are the DhimmiRats...

The hypocrisy is deafening.

Liberalism needs to die on this vine, forever.

While his dad abondoned him at 2 and his moonbat mother did at 10, it was his white grandmother who raised him and sent him to the best schools.

If he’s willing to throw her under the bus, imagine what he’ll do the USA.

The wheels really seem to be falling off the wagon. This past Sunday my 90ish grandmother asked me on the way out of church what I thought about “those things Obama’s pastor said”. This story is grabbing people who don’t normally pay close attention.

I thought that he was rather intelligent despite his horrid world view. However, suggesting that his white grandmother,who took him in, was a bigot because someone scared her is stupid. Is is not human nature to tend toward the familiar and away from the unfamiliar? Isn’t that why McDonalds has served billions? And didn’t Obama’s book describe his grandmother as being afraid of an aggressive black pan-handler? This idea that white people are supposed to be colorblind except for handing out affirmative action money and that blacks can hate whitey for some perceived slight or some ancestoral crime is just plain idiotic.

Typical White Person?

Obama: Wright Not Racist, But Grandma Is

That’s not how the incident is described in Mr. Obama’s first autobiography, “Dreams From My Father,” p 46:

I took her into the other room and asked her what had happened.

“A man asked me for money yesterday. While I was waiting for the bus.”

“That’s all?”

Her lips pursed with irritation. “He was very aggressive, Barry. Very aggressive. I gave him a dollar and he kept asking. If the bus hadn’t come, I think he might have hit me over the head.”

I returned to the kitchen. Gramps was rinsing his cup, his back turned to me. “Listen,” I said, “why don’t you just let me give her a ride. She seems pretty upset.” “By a panhandler?”

“Yeah, I know — but it’s probably a little scary for her, seeing some big man block her way. It’s really no big deal.”

He turned around and I saw now that he was shaking. “It is a big deal. It’s a big deal to me. She’s been bothered by men before. You know why she’s so scared this time? I’ll tell you why. Before you came in, she told me the fella was black.” He whispered the word. “That’s the real reason why she’s bothered. And I just don’t think that’s right.”

The words were like a fist in my stomach, and I wobbled to regain my composure. In my steadiest voice, I told him that such an attitude bothered me, too, but assured him that Toot’s fears would pass and that we should give her a ride in the meantime. Gramps slumped into a chair in the living room and said he was sorry he had told me. Before my eyes, he grew small and old and very sad. I put my hand on his shoulder and told him that it was all right, I understood.

We remained like that for several minutes, in painful silence. Finally he insisted that he drive Toot after all, and struggled up from his seat to get dressed. After they left, I sat on the edge of my bed and thought about my grandparents. They had sacrificed again and again for me. They had poured all their lingering hopes into my success. Never had they given me reason to doubt their love; I doubted if they ever would. And yet I knew that men who might easily have been my brothers could still inspire their rawest fears.

This is a weird anecdote on several levels. At the very least it is hard to see how Mrs. Dunham’s fears were not justified.

Moreover, Obama puts the charge of racism in the mouth of his now deceased grandfather, who in the book seemed to delight in discovering racism in everyone.

Meanwhile, his grandmother is being carefully sequestered from the media.

But isn’t it amazing that Mr. Obama is happy to call his sainted grandmother who raised him a racist, but he still can’t bring himself to say that Mr. Wright is one? Weren’t Mr. Wright’s racist comments also “a fist in his stomach”? Isn’t Mr. Obama half white?

Isn’t he an American?

People who can’t see through this race baiter are either blind or fools.

Or both.

“inbred” fear of blackmen”

The improper use of the term “inbred” reveals Obama’s inferior intellectual capacity. Whites do not “breed” “fear of black men” into their offspring. It is not even biologically possible.

That said, “fear of black men” particularly young, unsupervised ones is a reasonable mindset. This according to decades of crime statistics sliced any way imaginable.

The Bible has a concept called original sin. Very slyly, Obama is trying to establish the concept of original racism. Obama is saying that he was first exposed to racism from a white person, albeit his Granny. And the MSM punditry is overusing and misusing the word “context” to describe Obama’s speech. The “context” that he is trying to establish is, do not believe your lying eyes when you see the Wright video and his hatred of America and his hatred of all that is white in America, because the larger “context” is in Obama’a lecture, is that Whitey was a racist first, even in his own “exotic’ experience, and what you see on video is not hatred but the understandable anger over “original” racism. It is a crock, but is a crock that the MSM has no shame in serving up something as very sublime instead of the crock that it is.

Jesse Jackson must be a typical white person too since he said the same thing about fearing young black men.

There are plenty of black women living alone with their children in cruddy ghetto public housing who fear black men as well. Now, according to the great authority Obama, they must be typical white people as well.

Damn, turns out there’s a lot of us around.
