It better be a black kid. If not, then Michelle has some serious explaining to do. LOL.
Can you imagine if Obama said "many white men are brainwashed" or "white men are brainwashed"? Lol. We'd never heard the end of the bitching. Just notice how much bitching came out of him saying a black kid could look like his son if he had one.
Well actually he did say that racism was typical of white people.rof
Trolling again.....Well actually he did say that racism was typical of white people.rof

I'm actually talking about the victim mentality, which is a separate issue from the sense of entitlement.
Think about things like the so-called "War on Christmas" and the "But black comedians can tell those jokes, why can't I?" type of complaint. They start from a position of perceived victimhood. In truth, white comedians can make racial jokes. Look at Daniel Tosh. It's about delivery, though.
And the "War on Christmas" is really just a difference of opinions. But we get back to the ratings again. White outrage over issues sells the most advertising for news networks. Pundits (from both sides) make money from creating controversy, not reporting it.
I don't blame the media for this, though. Bitching about the media is just the victim mentality at work. I blame the people. We the people who are driving this phenomenon, including myself. People would rather believe that they are victims than have to seriusly look at how they contribute to their own problems. It's perfectly natural, but it's also detrimental.
It isn't valid unless you have proof to back it up. If you can't back it up, if it is loose talk to get a reaction (baiting), it is trolling.It's a valid counterpoint. If this makes you hysterical with cackling of "yer trolling" I can only suggest you utilize the report feature. Thank you.
No. He didn't. Show us the exact quote? Or are you going to play extrapolating mind reader 3 years in a row?

Barack Obama said:The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity," Obama said on WIP. "She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that don't go away, and that sometimes comes out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society.
Let those with eyes see an those with ears see.....
I'm sorry it's too painful for you to admit he made a blunder here.
In the speech, his grandmother made ugly racial epitaths etc.... And would cross te street etc...
The radio interview, he claims that her actions and utterances are what "typical white people" do....
I know its no where on the level of absurdity of suggesting your state borders another country, but come now, the rationalization to protect the man on this is quite the acid trip...
Btw, i am votin for him. :shrug:
When it comes to racial jokes, I don't think it's even about delivery. I tend to think it's more random chance. Who hears it? How offended did that person get? How far did they push it and to which network? Did it grab Jesse Jackson's or Al Sharpton's attention? That kind of thing.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if someday somebody says, "ZOMG!!! Daniel Tosh is a racists! He must be fired!!!", after he'd been doing the same thing for years.
That is not calling typical white people racist.
Oh I know the problem exists, but I won't base my opinion on what the problem stems from based on the opinion of ONE person.
Secret black man info?
Dude, I just posted one study.
I have lived in very poor communities and middle class communities. I have dated black women and have been married to a latina for 30 years. Many of my customers and friends are black, latino, poor whites. So in short, by personal and by educational experiences.
By far and away the reason for the differences in intra-race violence is socio-economic circumstances without much to support it being a matter of "brain-washing" via propaganda by black leaders or educators.
You miss the point. He's still able to do it. His delivery is what allows im to do it. His jokes are funny enough to overcome the offense people might take.
If a black "comedian" is as unfunny as the type of person who bitches about how white people can't tell racial jokes, they wouldn't be able to make white jokes because they wouldn't be a comedian anymore.
It's not about how far they push it, because it's pretty damned hard to push farther than Daniel Tosh. He just does it in a funny way and thus gets away with it.
The key to remember is that the white people who bitch about not being able to tell racial jokes just aren't really funny. When you aren't funny, the joke just sounds like some racist ****. They aren't victims, they are just incompetent. Trust me, I'm white and I tell racial jokes all the time. I've never been arrested for it. Nobody has ever shot me for them. I have been called a racist by some who consider any racial humor to be racism, but the people who have called me that have also been the ones who get really offended over piddling **** anyway. Why would I let them dictate what I can or cannot say?
No he didn't, you don't have the story correct....and he never claimed it was about brainwashing.Well actually he did say that racism was typical of white people.rof
In an interview with sports radio 610 WIP in Philly early this morning, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said "the point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, well there’s a reaction that’s in our experiences that won’t go away and can sometimes come out in the wrong way. And that’s just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it."

Can... you... show.... us... .the... exact.... quote? Where he said white people are typically racist? Not where you think he did. Where he actually said it? Keep dodging.
Post the text from the speech as well to get the proper context....
Btw "white people" i know don't behave in such a racialy prejudiced way....
We don't have to rehash this, the die by the sword defence of his reprehensible statement, i've concluded is absolute for you folk.
If a white guy said something like this about black people? Woah..... :lol:
No he didn't, you don't have the story correct....and he never claimed it was about brainwashing.
I'm on the iphone, not digging it all up on this thing just so you can reapond "nuh uh"....
Do you deny that obama said to the effect that typical white people use word like "nigger" and cross the street when they see black people?
If not you should try the "he was talking about old people" argument. Equally flawed, but hey a change of pace none the less. :thumbs:
