Typical White Person...

 

Barack Obama failed to disown Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and tried to play it off as a non-racial issue because he couldn't disown his white grandmother who supposedly was afraid of black men who passed her on the street. As if Barack wasn't a gaffe machine already, he now says his grandmother is a "typical white person." Via Hot Air, here's the video:


I take offense to that comment, because I don't believe that the typical white person is inherently racist, I just don't. Also, Barack said that Trinity was a typical church in the black community, but members of that community don't think so exactly. Barack's the one making race the issue.

Chris Wallace-

left-wing nutter!
He ain't going along with that morning's Obamarama.

Justin is not a racist. I too find some of the things that Jeremiah Wright offensive. Myself and Justin included do not give a these white ministers a free pass. I do not agree with statements they've made, however i do not belittle the subjects they oppose.

Barack is the one who is making race the issue, from his speech given tuesday he said, " But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now." He's gone from saying it had nothing to do with his campaign to saying it is an issue of great importance in america. That's fact.

First off, you're racist for assuming that Justin sees this in terms of color. That makes you the one casting racial aspersions, therefore, racist. As we all know, you refuse to condemn the racial divide in the Democrat race. DO IT NOW.

Secondly, Hagee and Falwell are controversial for saying things about homosexuality, marriage, and Catholicism, all things within the realm of what religious leaders talk about. Wright is an open racist and if you refuse to condemn him, you're the racist one. CONDEMN HIM NOW.

Justin Higgins: Racist

"I don't believe that the typical white person is inherently racist, I just don't."

You're a racist, Justin. You attack black minister Jeremiah Wright for saying things that you allegedly find offensive, and give a pass to white ministers like Jerry Falwell or John Hagee who say things just as bad. You're most certainly a racist, Justin.

"Barack's the one making race the issue."

You're lying, Justin. You and your fellow wingnuts have done that.

yes, but-

-as you're not a member of a minority, you really can't say what you believe white people to be, in regards to racism. You might not be able to recognize it when it happens as racism comes in all different shades and sizes, from KKK-type stuff to the slight upturn of a nose when a white might encounter a black and not be girded for it, so to speak. And I would think that only those on the receiving end might know when it happens, at least with the subtle and sometimes inadvertent happenstances of racism in action.

I'm as left-wing, liberal and goody-goody as anyone you know, I'm sure, and I can't even say that I'm not, myself, racist. Or at least showing light and slight racist tendencies on occasion.

It is a problem. He tried

It is a problem. He tried to minimize the damage, but it didnt really wash.
