Jesse Jackson, Typical White Person?…

Obama’s “typical white person” remark may be an indication that he has taken some of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s warped ideas to heart. Obama owes us answers to whether his loyalties are to the American people at large or to Black liberation theolog…

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.

“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.

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.

USBB IMHO you should rework the words using Immolate’s chorus! I sang it for my wife, she says it’s better.

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.

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.

His Black Grandmother, walking down a street alone, would probably fear Black Men even more!

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.

My wife is a naturalized U.S. citizen. When asked if she is Japanese you will get the evil eye, but she will acknowledge she is Korean by birth and American by choice.

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.

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.

This should be required viewing for each and every American.

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!

don’t forget in that same clip he said something about those kinds of “feelings about other races” being “bred” into them…

Remarks like “typical white person” and “to the untrained ear” (ie whites, asians, hispanics) show what a clod he really is.

It didn't take long for someone to capitalize on this. I think it should read "Throw Grandmother Under the Bus, She's Just a Typical White Person."

Oh, I get it!!

It’s not fair to criticize peers and their parents of a different race, but it’s OK to criticize grandparents!!

So:

Yo mama!!

….BAD: You’re a racist pig.

Yo gramma!!

….ACCEPTABLE: You could be President!

It's too bad Eve Carson didn't have the same attitude as BHO's grandmother - she might still be alive.
