“But she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know . . .inbred...reaction in her that doesn’t go away and it comes out in the wrong way.”
This guy is racist. I’m black and if I see someone I dont know on the street I get worried. And Obama can’t tell me he wouldn’t get scared if he was walking down the street and a black guy with dreads 6’0” tall, baggy pants, and a gangsta walk passed him by!!!! He’d pee in his pants.
...and remember that the story as Obama himself related it in his first book was not one of simply “seeing” a black man, it was of a large very aggressive panhandler demanding money, obstructing her way, and not leaving her alone. Almost anyone would be intimidated by such behavior, no matter what the race(s) involved. Even if you feel physically able to take on the guy you still don’t want to get into a brawl at a bus stop, and a small woman like Obama’s grandma would be physically intimidated by almost any size of aggressive male.
