Whites are not going to vote for a black man making “broad-brush generalizations” about them, who won’t disassociate from his viciously racist, ignorant black minister. You’d better get used to that.
Why don’t we wait and see? Have any poll numbers come out since the speech?
The main reason being, Wright is someone whom he met as an adult and chose to befriend, unlike his grandmother who was family and raised him as a small child.
Not to mention he’s talking about a “stereotypical” comment she made some thirty years ago, while Wright is here and now.
Hasn’t Obama just made a “stereotypical” comment about whites. I sure know he makes me “cringe”! But maybe that’s just my inbred white racism. Does Hillary Clinton suffer from this too? Does she clutch her handbag (or tell Huna to do so) every time she sees Barack at a debate?

Just check realclearpolitcs, honeychild, it’s best to face up to it now.
One of the funny things is, blacks like Wright (I hope they aren’t “typical") think this is a hoplessly racist country, but they think at the same time that this hoplessly racist country (infecting blacks with AIDS, no less) is going to usher in a black President. Can’t have it both ways!
Thje truth is, Oblama’s only chance was to be seen as post-racial. Now he’s seen as black only. He was already having trouble with the white vote, this will compound the problem severely. To Oblama and his black supporters retaining the aggrieved black victim role was more important than electing President. I guess they thought they could do both, but they can’t. It’s sad. Oblama could have been a breakthroug for this country. Instead, he’s alienating whites and when he loses, blacks will blame racist whities, so the two groups will be farther apart than before. That is Oblama’s lasting legacy to this country.
BHO is an opportunist. Opportunists must keep the mask on all the time and once it falls, they have a hard time putting it back in place.
He’s had plenty of opportunities for one who seemed to have an average background… Harvard, Harvard Law, Editor of the Review (what did he do to deserve this?). Then, when he chose Chicago, he took the opportunity to embrace the preacher of the largest congregation - an opportunist. What were his goals then?
He wallowed through being a State Senator, being sure to sally-up to those of influence and opportunity - like Rezcko. Now, that relationships is going to cause him angst. How did he buy that house that had a requisite of simultaneously purchasing the adjoining lot, anyway? Oh, opportunity raised its head again and he grabbed it.
And what qualified him to make the keynote at the 2004 Democrat National Convention? You’ve got me fooled. But, it did propel him onto the Senate where he has squandered every chance to lead, hiding behind the curtain of “hope” and “change” - neither of which does he represent.
So, why is he admired? It’s got me fooled. He hasn’t done anything in his life to distinguish himself, yet, he tells us he brings hope for change. He has done nothing to deserve any accolades, yet they seem comfortable in hanging them on him.
Greater leaders have not been given such accolades before earning them, and most of them weren’t blatant opportunists, like BHO.
Let’s hope he has to live-up to the accolades to reach the goals he has set for himself. As of now, he doesn’t deserve hardly any of the accolades. Let’s see how hard he wants to work!
The nightmare for the super delegates is that Hillary now leads him 49-42 nationally, and has pulled even in North Carolina. They know that Obama probably cannot win in the fall, but if they “select” Hillary, the black vote will desert her and she can’t win either. It may not make a difference, however, as McCain now leads both of them.
What a relief! All this time I have been wandering around with no notion as to how I fit into Barack’s world. But now, thanks to OBAMAVISION®, I am secure in the knowledge that I am a ”Typical White Person.”
I can’t wait until the tee shirts come out next week. Until then I will just have to make do with this:
Oh dear. Let us consider two world views. In the first, success is seen as a function of individual responsibility. Quit whining, don’t be a victim, embrace education, take advantage of your opportunities, overcome obstacles and work hard. In the second, success is difficult, possibly impossible, and the individual is never responsible. Whine, embrace your victimhood, education is for suckers, work hard only at taking advantage of others and it’s the responsibility of others to overcome obstacles for you. In the first category are Americans who happen to be black, hispanic, or of any other race. In the second, black Americans, hispanic Americans, etc.
The perpetually outraged seldom have time for anything but outrage. That includes becoming president.

Does he? I haven’t heard anything from Oprah for a week or so now. Seems to me that the black movers and shakers in the country are hunkering down and shutting up in their overt support for him. I suppose Oprah et al., could still vote for him, but really—why assume that SHE likes a liar any more than white folks do?
Salve! (no, not ‘salve’, e.g., ointment, ‘Salve’ the Latin greeting)
I hate to be a typical hard-working, tax-paying, rich, white, male, Southerner, and ‘gasp’ a Christian, and ‘gasp’ a lukewarm Republican! How typical of me…
Still considering voting for BHO. No, I’m not kidding. I’m ready to let this play out. BHO is a brilliant guy and could turn this albatross into an eagle through his introspection and ‘rebirth’ re: this kerfuffle.
The US of A has to get past the race issue. Wright certainly has it wrong and BHO will soon see the light vis-a-vis the reaction to Wright’s statements and redirect his thoughts…
To be race-obsessed is to suffer a mental disorder. The issue is not racism, but “racialism” and the obsession with race as the elemental metric by which value is to be judged and awarded. This is a sickness; an affliction, not an answer to the challenges to be met in life.
Someone needs to ask Obama, “How many drops of what blood makes you what race?” When will it dawn on people this thoroughly modern dude is hopelessly stuck in the 19th Century with intellectual clowns like Haeckel.
Why are prisons so disproportionately overloaded with young black men? Could it be they have been fed a crock of #### about race; indoctrinated into a false ideology of Identity Politics so they will fight assimilation as an American? Isn’t the “black” racial issue really about that… preservation of a black carpetbagger criminal subculture by REFUSING to assimilate as Americans? Look at the terrible things happening to Hillary supporters who defy the black racialists and vote their conscience as an American? This ain’t about race; it’s about thuggery, money and power; about syndicalism and racketeering and control of a victim population and predatory domination of the rhetoric that precludes assimilation into American society.
What is a typical anyperson? I don’t know how anyone can reasonably presume, but I repeatedly see those who trade and barter for power and money based upon stereotypes are usually correctly described as a Bigot.
And how interesting that Racialists are blind to Bigotry—especially their own—Obama can’t even connect with his Bigotry driving his distortions as he projects them for personal political advantage at the expense of both of his grandmothers.
“The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity,” he said. “But she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know. . .there’s a reaction that’s been bred into her experiences that doesn’t go away and it comes out in the wrong way.”
Funny. I see people I don’t know on the street quite often. Daily, actually. It’s safe to say that my reaction to these people doesn’t come out the wrong way.
I guess I’m not a “typical white person”. Damnit all.
Is he saying that I come from poor breeding, or what?
