Obama advance: 'Get me more white people' POLITICO Ben Smith
From the account in Carnegie Mellon's paper, the Tartan, of a Michelle Obama event in Pittsburgh: While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”
“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.” I'm not sure there's any real reason for outrage here; every campaign, at least implicitly, includes race in the staging of events like this -- even a campaign whose supporters chant "race doesn't matter." But they don't usually get caught doing it this explicitly. And (if you didn't pick it up from the bowling) it does give you a sense of the community Obama's trying to reach in Pennsylvania: whitefolks.

Does he need average white people, regular white people or typical white people?
B.Hussein just wanted an absolut background for his speech
She shouldn't be. Liberals have advocated racial quotas for years.
Carnak: "An Obama rally."
Ed McMahon: "An Obama rally."
Carnak opens the envelope
"The only place a white male is considered as being a "two-fer."
LOL, you’ve got us here at FReeperville! ;^)
I'd amend that to "positively featured"....I see commercials all the time where the average white guy is portrayed as a total dope. Usually defers to (or is completely shown up by) his wife or his kids. The latest "H&R Block" commercials particularly grate on my nerves.
But yeah, otherwise you're right. Guy I work with was featured on local billboards advertising for a graduate school. Knowing that he really *was* a student at that college, I asked him how he got the gig...he said that he was the only Hispanic guy in his class.
Well, I’ve got one white person and he’s come in handy for about the last 20 years. He mows the lawn, washes the car, kills spiders, sired the offspring, pays the mortgage, rubs a sista’s feet (amongst other things). But one can never have too many white people.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that. "

Because as a Black Supremicist, who attends a Black Supremicist congregation, and who’s been unmasked in public as a Black Supremicist, you need more ‘minorities’ to show a diversity in support for Obama beyond Angry Black People (ABP).
ABP’s are his core support constituency right now. Without BHW’s (Bleeing Heart Whities), he’ll lose the general, and maybe PA.
Damn White, we alls looks alikes. Acccording to Michelle/The Wuss we are the “Blued Eyed Devils of Satan.
You know why Obuma calls all his black counter-parts Bro.?? This is because knowing who his real father is just, too damn confusing.

If the POS gets elected, then Whitey will pay dearly both in money and lives.
We will still be blamed for the (BLT idiots) failures in life. I was wondering if they are going to boycott hell and ask Satan for some reparations.
I as you, feel or have no guilt for others in life fail due to their upbringing and mindset.

“Ah sa needs all you blacks to get in the back o’ the bus so’s as the white’s can be moved to da front of da bus”
Didn’t some black guy hold marches years ago to stop this from happening any more?
Why doesn’t O’slama judge people by their character and not by the color of their skin?
Looks like Tupac in the background, did the klintoons resurrect the Rapper?? Chelsea, a face only a blind mother could love.

LOL, it sounds like you chose wisely, especially if you can get a foot rub out of the deal. Unfortunately, I wasn’t that smart or lucky.
I hope your daughter has narrowed her college selection by now...and good luck with that. I wish her all the best (as well as those footing the bills).
Typical demonRat candidate for Prexy...
Typical case of hoof-in-mouth disease...
Did they want typical white people up front in that venue?
