Psst... none oif that is important.That is why.
Edit: when some one makes a poll and does not include important details before asking your opinion, it's a safe bet it is a trap thread.
Imaging if Bush had said that, in ANY context.... (yeah I went there.) :lamo

Then, Obama said about African-Americans in general, “We are sort of a mongrel people.”
“I mean we’re all kinds of mixed up,” Obama said. “That’s actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it.”
Wow. "We just know more about it". Good Lord, the arrogance of this man!
Yes.... something not addressed by -certain- people here...Imagine if Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin had said it. All hell would've broken lose.
That every one was to an extent mixed race? I can't see the problem with that.
None of that is relevant.
But, go on attacking the poster rather than discussing the topic
The director of D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams's constituent services office resigned after being accused of using a racial slur, the mayor's office said yesterday.
David Howard, head of the Office of Public Advocate, said he used the word "niggardly" in a Jan. 15 conversation about funding with two employees.
"I used the word 'niggardly' in reference to my administration of a fund," Howard said in a written statement yesterday. "Although the word, which is defined as miserly, does not have any racial connotations, I realize that staff members present were offended by the word.
Why, exactly, is any of that important?Well, not to you I am sure. To people who want to know what was actually said, then yes it is important.
That every one was to an extent mixed race? I can't see the problem with that.
Only if you argue that those same liberals would have had the same response of outrage knowing who said it.The topic is disingenuous from the get go.
You planned on getting a bunch of liberals to say that someone using the word mongrel was racist or bigoted.
Then you were going to spring the trap that Obama said it, only you would of withheld the actual context of it.
It's pretty dishonest.
Perhaps you cant... but don't tell me there wouldn't be 40 threads on it.

So far, there's nothing to support that.
Let's be totally honest, any white person, regardless of their political affiliation, would get crucified for a comment like that.

Yes. -Who- said it matters. No way to argue otherwise.Let's be totally honest, any white person, regardless of their political affiliation, would get crucified for a comment like that.

More so if they were conservative.

I don't know about that. I doubt any white guy on teh planet could get away with that comment in any context.
