This is so.....typical

Obama typical white person
Uploaded by dollarsandsense123

According to Senator Obama, typical white people are bigots. White people have no capability to detect a threat in their enviroment. If "a person they don't know," which in this context, sounds to me like code for "black people" is on the street, we automatically are afraid. Now why is this his default position? And since he says that he is "black", are his white supporters atypical? This sounds like "racial profiling" to me.

His default position on race is, well, racist.

There is nothing more painful to me […] than to walk down a street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” - Jesse Jackson, March 10, 1996, in US News and World Report.

So, according to Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson is a "typical white person."

How badly would any white politician get mauled, and rightly so, for saying "typical black person?" Typically, everyone would be outraged. And he would get the typical consequences of losing any election. Unless, of course, the media, typically, gives Obama a pass.

“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

Black man? Given his genetics, couldn't you also call him a "white man?" Are we supposed to judge him by his skin color?

Also, in her context, shot by whom? Why is being a black man prerequisite for being shot at a filling station? Is she saying that Barack would be shot BECAUSE he is black? Is she saying that he would be in a high crime area because he is black? Is she talking about black on black crime? Or could this be just racism on her part? She's worried about..........whom? She sounds....typical.

While Barack Hussein Obama is probably NOT a racist bigot, his world view has been slanted by the people with whom he has associated. A spiritual advisor like Rev. Wright will definitely influence Barack's attitude, if only subtly. One's beliefs and attitudes are always absorbed from the surrounding environment. His default position appears that white people are, if not evil, racist. If he was rejecting the basic premises of his advisors, friends and family, he would not be in that church. Obama is not the first man to reject what he saw as his family's values, ie., his grandmother, and join with the opposite. Instead of straddling the line of his racial makeup, he has apparently picked one side to favor.

So, exactly what kind of change is he hoping for?
