Obama: My grandmother who fears black men is a “typical white person”

Via Breitbart.tv and our old pal Ian Schwartz. I actually think he misspoke here, that he was simply trying to say, “My grandmother, who is white, is a typical person insofar as she’s suspicious of strangers of other races.” Didn’t come out that way, though. How do you suppose it’ll play in that bar in Pennsylvania that Politico focus-grouped?
Exit question, true or false: Obama’s stumble here is no more than a momentary brain fart whereas McCain confusing AQI with the Mahdi Army and then correcting himself is a deeply significant insight into his worldview and/or mental capacity.
Update: Just how deeply reflective of the community is Wright’s style of preaching, such that Obama could no sooner disown it than disown black America in its entirety? If you guessed 25%, you guessed right!
Update: Since I’m giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this, I’m curious: Has anyone seen any lefty bloggers give McCain the benefit of the doubt on the AQI/Mahdi Army flub? Has even one of them offered, en passant, that the guy’s been traveling a lot, may have been a little tired, and simply made a good faith mistake which was duly corrected? If so, post the link in the comments. Credit should be given.
Update: Who’s enjoying this the most? Not Hillary, but you’re close.

Now THAT is one FIESTY typical white person! LOL
ArmyAunt on March 20, 2008 at 3:35 PM
typical white person?
A couple years ago didn’t Jesse Jackson say he feared black males on the street, or that he was releived when he saw it was a white man instead of a black man, something like that.

Obama: “My grandmother who fears black men is a “typical white person”.
This is what brought my hackles up the quickest.
I hope this poor woman is on the other side.

“Typical white person”. Hmmmm….that dosen’t sound racial, now does it…?
kcd on March 20, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Sorry, USBB, thought it needed a bit more of a twist…

But remember, folks: Only white people can be racist.

Nope, she’s still with us…and proud.
Christine on March 20, 2008 at 3:56 PM
“Typical white person” is indeed racist, no question about it. And though I am not a fan of Ferraro, I was appalled that he compared her to his outrageous pastor. I am glad she spoke out against it.
Conservatives R Us on March 20, 2008 at 3:56 PM
I heard Obama’s Grandmother is voting for McCain. “Because he’s a typical white person”. (Just kidding…heheheh!)
kcd on March 20, 2008 at 4:00 PM
That’s the only thing I did like about her.She don’t take no guff.
kcd on March 20, 2008 at 4:03 PM
Are we possibly looking at a Hillary/Ferraro ticket?
Seven Percent Solution on March 20, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I wonder if it would be OK to say Obama is a typical black person, refusing to take responsibility for his own actions? Or would that be too prejudiced? You know, the whole “typical (insert color) person” thing. Or is it just wrong if whites use that construction, but OK for blacks? I’m confused.
jaime on March 20, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I don`t know if we want the media talking about the 71 year old candidate being tired. You`d know they`d run with it.
ThePrez on March 20, 2008 at 4:07 PM
The Grandmother thing is probably worse even than it sounds. In the speech Obama said of his (alive, 86 year old) grandmother, Madelyn Dunham:
.
“a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street”.
.
In Obamas biography there is a description of what seems to refer to this incidence. But it is not about random black med passing gradma in the street, but about a man that had harassed Senator Obamans (at the time 55+ year old) grandmother on the bus station on her way to work:
.
“‘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….”
.
If indeed this is the case Obama is referring to it is completely outrageous. This is not blacks who “passed by her on the street”, but a man who aggressively threatened and came close to assaulting her. Why should she NOT confess fear?!? There is little or no evidence this had anything to do with racism, presumably if a young white man threatened an old women she would be scared of him as well.
.
Obama is apologetic about openly racist preacher Wright, but has not problem publically calling his grandmother racists, even though she was reacting to a particular event, not to the skin of the man who harassed her. Obama further writes:
.
“…yet I knew that men who might easily have been my brothers would still inspire their rawest fear.”
.
The man in question does not seem to be Obamas “brother” at all, but a criminal. Was his grandmother really scared of polite elite students if they were black? Almost certainly not. Would she be scared of whites who threatened her?
.
Probably. Grandmother was not racist, she was just a victim of a man that happened to be black, with Obama suggesting she should therefore ignore the incident.
.
I wish a journalist asks Obama if this passage in the book is what he is talking about in his speech, and if so why he assumes she was scared because of bigoted racism, rather than legitimate fear caused by the near assault.
Tino on March 20, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I’m a typical White grandma and I live in Barack’s city and am not afraid of anything walking down the street, except maybe his “typical aggressive black wife.” Now she’s scary. I know I could kick his butt any day of the week though.
UnEasyRider on March 20, 2008 at 4:12 PM
?! He didn’t just say that, did he? Mav’s gonna roll. You know…I was at work the other day and a typical black person burned his house down, and us typical white firemen put it out. I’d get fired if I said that.
LtE126 on March 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Why are you so quick to give BHO the benefit of the doubt here, Allah? Remember the last 20 years he’s been listening to a preacher filling his head with this stuff. I believe this is exactly what he would say to people in his inner sanctum of followers. Only saying it publicly was the accident.

“Why, I will never forget the time, as a little mulatto boy playing in my white grandmother’s house, that I found sheets, sheets I tell you, white sheets, hidden in the linen clost.”
I like when he said in his book something like “I heard my Grandmother say that, and I went wobbly, I felt sick and faint”
What a f—-n’ drama queen.

I’m with UnEasyRider. But try a crazy-eyed black mama with five or six youngsters (unseatbelted, of course) flying down a Chicago freeway in a rusted-out 1980 Pontiac Bonneville station wagon. If that don’t put the fear of God in ya, nothing will.

Grandma got run over by Barack Hussein dear,
coming home from our house on caucus eve!
You may say there so such thing as there’s bigger racists than Obama,
But as for me and the bloggers we agree!
She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog.
And we’d begged her not to go.
But she’d forgot her medication,
and she staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her caucus mornin,’
at the scene of the attack.
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back.
Grandma got run over by Barack Hussein dear,
coming home from our house on caucus eve!
You may say there so such thing as there’s bigger racists than Obama,
But as for me and the bloggers we agree!
Now were all so proud of Grandpa.
He’s been takin’ this so well.
See him in there watchin’ Wright,
drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle.
It’s not caucus without Grandma.
All the family dressed in BlACK
And we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we count hervotes or send them back?
Grandma got run over by Barack Hussein dear,
coming home from our house on caucus eve!
You may say there so such thing as there’s bigger racists than Obama,
But as for me and the bloggers we agree!
Now the goose is on the table.
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
that would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig.
I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors.
“Better watch out for yourselves.”
They should never give a license,
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

This is from an Indian paper, the Deccan Herald. It’s an interview with the father of Serena and Venus Williams, the pro tennis stars, in which he says:
Tennis is a prejudice game. Well, I’m Black and I’m prejudiced, very prejudiced. I’ll be always prejudiced as the White man. The White man hated me all my life and I hate him. That’s no secret. I’m not even an American, it just so happens that I was born in America. People are prejudiced in tennis. I don’t think Venus or Serena was ever accepted by tennis. They never will be. But if you get some little White no good trasher in America like Tracy Austin or Chris Evert who cannot hit the ball, they will claim this is great.

kcd on March 20, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Good Lord, I hope people are paying attention to all the racial over/undertones coming from, not the Republicans, but from the Dems.
Meanwhile, McCain keeps looking better to Indies and moderate Dems, I would imagine.
Just goes to show that playing the identity politics game can backfire. I can’t tell you all how pleased I am that this is happening.
McCain just might win this thing in November if this circus act continues. Who would’ve thought…?

Who’d have guessed?
marybel on March 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM
As the white father of a mixed race son, I can guarantee you that little Barry experienced plenty of racism…
from other black children.
He has spent his entire life proving that he is “black enough”.
Some people handle it differently. I suspect that he despises the part of him that is white.
It’s still racism, even when you hate something that is a part of you.

Note to Senator Obama – When the wheels start to come off your campaign it’s not normal to grab a pry bar and start helping them off. But in your case I’m grateful for your efforts to single-handedly destroy your own campaign. Well done, sir. Here’s to your being a footnote in history soon enough.

kcd on March 20, 2008 at 5:49 PM
His white mother abandoned him after his black father did. She left him to deal with his mixed race issues on his own. Conflict and heart-ache about this is to be expected. His solution of marrying a racist black woman and joining a racist black church isn’t. And since he’s running for President, it’s my business now. Although not his fault , the particulars of his past disqualify him for the job. His attempt to sell himself as some sort of racial healer is precisely and emphatically what he is not.
JiangxiDad on March 20, 2008 at 5:51 PM
I agree he has been looking for some kind of black validation, but where would he have gotten the harassment? Hawaii is a polyglot of races, and I’ve read quotes from his high school classmates that biracial kids were the norm rather than the exception over there, even in those days. It has always seemed a bit odd, somehow.
a capella on March 20, 2008 at 5:52 PM
I think you’re correct here, but given the recent scandal he really should have been more careful. Even the words “typical white person” sound racist, especially from someone who attends Wright’s church.

“Typical white person”?
Oooooooooo, abject racism AND unabashed elitism!
Yeah, that’s a winning combination…
Also, you can’t dismiss Barry’s Academy Award winning performance in Throw Gradma From The Train! , because, y’know, throwing your own grandmother, one that RAISED you’re ungrateful butt, under the bus for the purpose of defending your radical racist pastor plays sooooo well with everyone.
Just one “Typical White Person’s” take.
SuperCool on March 20, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Growing up in the 70s I never felt tempted to adopt Black racism because the “liberation theologists” (Black Nationalists) at the time didn’t accept Interracial people. If anything I learned not to accept the racist nonsense of angry Black commies. Obama is playing both to Black racists and to the elitist Whites who want a Black man to tell them it’s OK to harbor racism because it’s been “bred” into them. Obama’s statement absolves people like Jane Hamsher and anyone who’s sent an email to me calling me a traitor to my race by implying it is typical for Whites to be bigots and that just isn’t true.
Rob Taylor on March 20, 2008 at 6:45 PM
And you may be right. I have never been to Hawaii, and this was a different time.
But that was not my experience raising a “black” child.
I put “black” in quotes because that’s his designation. To me, he’s just my son. But when he was younger, both his mom and I thought he was going overboard with the “black validation” thing, especially when the gangsta “culture”. We nipped that in the bud.
But he came out OK, a Soldier, not a Gangsta.
And trust me, Nobody, I mean nobody, calls him an “Oreo Cookie” anymore.
This kid would make Barack Obama “cross the street” if they passed in the dead of night.
dinasour on March 20, 2008 at 6:50 PM
He has every right to hate America, to hate me, to hate everything I stand for.
It’s Freedom of Conscience.
I don’t have to support him. In fact, my conscience tells me to actively oppose him.
Before this, I actually kind of liked the guy.
Sen. Obama: I don’t have to “bargain” either. Until you prove otherwise, you are a racist. I know your convenient ideology tells you that a black man cannot be “racist”. I know better.

When Paul Volcker endorsed him I thought, wow, I should take a serious look at this guy. I was leaning towards voting for him. After his wife’s comments, these revelations about his church and his good buddy the pastor, his refusal to salute the flag and now after his speech and comments of the last few days – an accumulation of things – no effing way would I ever vote for the guy.

JustTruth101 on March 20, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Nice. In this clip, Obama claims he never heard any of these comments.
Rush earlier played these clips, and I believe he said one was from a “Christmas” sermon given by Wright.
How did Obama not hear it then? A Christmas sermon is the one day of the year many Christians flock to church so how could he have missed this?
…unless he was out of town with Rezko I guess…
…and after 20 years of attending or knowing Wright?
What a liar!
91Veteran on March 20, 2008 at 11:29 PM
I grew up in Baltimore suburbs in the mid to late 1940’s as a child. The beaches on the rivers and Chesapeake Bay usually had signs that said “Gentiles Only.” That was white Gentiles and it was clearly understood no Jews or Blacks. Because my parents both worked I was unofficially adopted by an older couple who lives across the street. The lady’s heritage was from Luray, VA and her past relatives had slaves. While I frequently heard the N word, it wasn’t said with the animosity that I hear when blacks use it towards each other today. During the 60’s the civil rights movement was starting to shake loose some of the grip of separatism. I recall vividly, the MD governor, a DEMOCRAT from southern MD on TV trying to tone down some of the clashes. He spoke and referred to the people as Nigras trying to make them understand his position for using force to keep the peace. A black civil rights activist was interviewed following the governor’s speech and said the Gov doesn’t even know how to say the word Negro. My how terminology has evolved since those days. Things came around to a degree, but a point is that the democratic party power brokers were trying to hold on to segregation in that state. Another point is my parents told me to respect character in a person and not judge by race. Frankly, what prejudices I retain, and I have to acknowledge them, are learned from bad experiences I’ve had personally or seen of others who have been victims of crime. But the prejudices are from stereotypes I’ve learned and they aren’t all about people of color. There are whites who have socio-pathic character flaws and yes I profile them too. “Typical white person” taint no such thing, same as “typical black person” no such thing.

What’s a typical white person? Could you see a white pastor talking about a “typical black person”? The reaction would be like fire sweeping through a field of dry grass.
He’d be charged with hate crimes and hate speech. I’m curious why Wright hasnt been brought up on hate speech charges. No I’m not.

eanax on March 21, 2008 at 9:44 AM
The only way to end racism is ignore the terms black, white, yellow, red, etc. when describing another person. They have names or titles and that is how they should be addressed or refereed.
When a person uses color or another moniker to define them, they mask their true persona. Namely, they do not have the character to accept their choice of nationality. A person is not an African-American they are either African living in America or America. The same goes for all of the other hyphenated American labels (Asian-American, Mexican-American, etc.).
The hyphen is a convenient punctuation mark that allows them to means to excuse their failures/frailties, and to have the best of both worlds. For example they have the ability to full fill the American dream to be all they can be without fear of retribution. However, hyphenated persons, have been brain washed to feel they are entitled not to fail like a real American.

Hussein is a racist. Now he has proven it with words from his own lips. If we have had anything relentlessly pounded into our heads for forty years it’s that anyone using phrases like “typical white person” is a racist and requires a stay at a re-education camp.

I like that! I wonder what other creative reworkings the collective mind on hotair.com can come up with. I think it would be more fun if it continues to be a community work in progress. You know something created by typical bloggers!

I still want to hear Allah, Michelle, Bryan and Ed sing it! Something like she did with the Clinton it’s not easy being me song.

He meant typically white in a pejorative sense did he not? His little white granny is typically white like Jesse Jackson, Bill Cosby, and Chris Rock is typically white. It’s funny how blacks can speak the truth about black crime (we call them brave and brilliant), but white people who do better be prepared to reep the whirlwind.

“Typical white person,” and the conversation with America on race continues… I don’t know about you guys but I’m getting a lot out of this. I’m learning more and more everyday.

Obama also said this about Wright: “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.”Does that mean that Wright’s attitudes represent the majority of the “black community”? Would similar logic also apply to a “typical white person” who is sympathetic to David Duke?
Obama and his twisted logic are dangerous.
