Barack Obama says, "...typical white person."

[ceo]

You would be silly to deny that many, if not most white folks would be wary of encountering a strange person on the street, much less a black person. That is simply reality.

So you are obviously of the same opinion of Obama in that "WHITE folks would be wary of encountering a strange person on the street"...especially if that "strange person" were BLACK???

Come on bro. Why is it that way? Why are black people immune from "being wary of encountering a strange person"???

That's bullshit.

As for me, I'm not scared if I encounter any "strange person" regardless of the color of their skin. Now if I encounter a "strange person" who is coming at me pointing a gun or swinging a bat or knife, I will be wary...again, regardless of their skin color.

He was giving a speech on race in America.

There you go, that's more like it, stop trying to isolate the term "typical white person" and pretend like it is an offensive term.

There is no glory or value in feigned victimization.

The man was talking about race, talking about his own white grandmother, talking about situations on the street just like you were a few posts ago.

Seeing how he's half white how can you be bothered that he'd say "typical white person" yet you wouldn't be bothered at all if he said "typical black person"?

in that part of the country, it's the big black soul brothers who looked uncomfortable when they encounterd unfamiliar (white) folks.

How does Obama perceive himself to be? typically white or typically black? How does the US population generally perceive him as?

So, if Hillary were giving a speech on race in America, and made the statement, "he's a typical black person," that would be ok? You don't think the media would erupt and she'd be labeled a racist?

That, by the way is really the only reason I made this thread. I don't think it's ok for him to say it in the context he did as a candidate for POTUS...just as I think it wouldn't be ok for Hillary or John McCain to say similar.

as a no morals, flip flopping, indesive slum lord mouth piece lawyer wanna-be, sucking up and kissing ass to whomever will get his skinny ass elected?

I understood your question, and it was a fair one, but as I responded initially, to make a true comparison to Hillary, she would have to be speaking with the context of having been raised by two black men.

If that were the case, I think the media would not jump to negative conclusions if she spoke of typical black behavior.
