‘A TYPICAL WHITE PERSON’

Jump to Comments

Those are the words used by Barack Hussein Obama to describe his grandmother.

The Anointed One says his grandmother isn’t afraid of black people necessarily because she’s a racist but because she’s a typical white person. Obama had made an less-than-flattering reference to his grandmother in his race relations speech on Tuesday which attempted to calm the storm generated by the racist, hate-filled, anti-Semitic and anti-American comments made by Obama’s longtime mentor, friend and minister, Jeremiah Wright.

Here’s what the Chocolate Jesus told a Philadelphia radio station:

The point I was making was not that 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, you know, there’s a reaction that’s been bred in our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society.

Others are stepping in it as well. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat said:

He, for the first time, I think, as a black leader in America, has come to the American people not as a victim, but rather as a leader.

Uh, Senator, there have been plenty of black leaders prior to Obama. It’s just that your side chooses not to recognize them, but rather call them Uncle Toms, Oreos, etc., because they aren’t part of the perpetual victim crowd headed by the NAALCP — the National Association for the Advancement of (Liberal) Colored People — along with The Reverend Al Sharpton and The Reverend Jackson.

You have the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. No one in their right mind could call him a victim or say his approach was that of a victim. He was a leader. You have Dr. King’s contemporaries from the civil rights era, who came to the American people as leaders. You have Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, blacks who served and have served admirably as Supreme Court justices. You have the first and second black Secretaries of State, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice. You have Juan Williams, Shelby Steele, Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell. Too many to mention.

But none of them came from or reside on the Victim Plantation. You know, the one with the White Liberal Politicians as slave masters and race-baiters like The Justice Brothers — the Revs. Sharpton and Jackson — as the overseers. Face it, without keeping blacks thinking of themselves as perpetual victims of perceived racism and invented concepts like institutional racism, would Sharpton and Jackson even be relevant? They need victims for whom to advocate. Otherwise, they’d need to go get real jobs. Hence, there’ no incentive for them to empower the people they claim to represent and seek to empower.

And the White Liberal Politicians who rule the Victim Plantation need those perpetual victims to remain in office, taking the hard-earned money from people who don’t reside on the Victim Plantation and transfer it to those who do in order to ensure their continued support.

McCaskill opens her mouth and changes feet:

There are good works this man (Wright) has done.

Sure. Hitler made the trains run on time, too.

And the French-looking Senator, John F-ing Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam in case you didn’t know that, also got in on the act, saying that Osama bin … Osama Obama … Obamamama could connect with moderate Muslims — even though we’re not supposed to remind people of Obama’s Muslim heritage — “because he’s an African-American. Because he’s a black man who has come from a place of oppression and repression in our own country.”

Spare me, Senator. Any more than any thinking American believed you belonged to a black church in 2004, no one with an IQ higher than room temperature believes Obama is a product of oppression and repression. This is a man with an elite, Ivy League education, talks and thinks like one of those East Coast elitists — as does his elitist wife — then hitched his star to the corrupt Chicago political machine.

It appears that the Chocolate Jesus, who claims to want to unite Americans, is nothing more than a race-baiter himself, hoping to capitalize on racial politics and dividing Americans along lines of race.

Can you imagine the outrage if any white conservative politician had made a reference to a “typical black person”? Or a “typical Hispanic person”? Remember the stir Reggie White caused in a speech before the Wisconsin Legislature? Simply for making comments based on perceived stereotypes.

Awhile back, a prominent figure made the following remarks:

There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.

The speaker? John McCain? Nope. Newt Gingrich? Nope. Dick Cheney? Nope. Rush Limbaugh? Nope. Not even close. But you can imagine the reaction of any of them — or any white conservative for that matter — had.

The speaker was The Reverend Jesse Jackson, essentially fitting the stereotype of all white people as espoused by Barack Hussein Obama.

Owen Robinson asks a critical question about The Great Uniter at Boots & Sabers:

How can we expect this man to lead us when every time he sees a “typical white person” he sees a racist?

Michelle Malkin asks:

If this is how Obama responds when he’s “shaken up,” God help us if he’s in the White House during the next terrorist attack or international crisis.

And over at Power Line, John Hindraker observes:

[W]hat Obama said was that the “typical white person” views others of different races with fear and suspicion. Obama appears to be digging himself in deeper and deeper.

    During my 29 years of service with the Milwaukee Police Department I had more than occasional contact with many victims of crime which included blacks and other minorities in the City of Milwaukee. And when I use the term “victims” here, I include those many good people who may not have been directly victimized by crime but who lived/worked in high crime neighborhoods and expressed their fear of the criminal element in a very “typical” way. Unless the reader has had the same opportunity as I have had to talk with black victims of crime, one might be surprised to learn that their reactions are no different than the reactions Obama attributes to his white grandmother. In fact, one might be surprised to learn of the words used to describe the criminal element and the extent to which these black victims wanted the Police Department to address crime in their neighborhoods. Some might find this hard to believe, but I actually had to explain to many of these victims that the Police Department’s ability to do what they were demanding was limited by the 4th Amendment.

    Now either Obama has never spoken with black victims of crime as I have or he is conveniently failing to consider what they say (and even what Jesse Jackson said) when he categorizes his grandmother as “a typical white person”.

  • And I’m sure you all are equally outraged that John McCain repeatedly uttered ethnic slurs against Asians:

  • A variety of observations:

    First, so flipping what? You have an opinion piece written by a perpetually offended “victim” eight years ago.

    Second, McCain made one statement in 2000, shaped no doubt by his experiences as a guest of the Hanoi Hilton. Many Americans, including myself, have the same problem with the Religion of Piece (of Arm, of Leg, of Torso) over a little incident called 9/11. People from our parents’ and grandparents’ generations had some problems with the Japs over the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. I have a number of issues with Sen. McCain, but being a racist or a bigot is not one of them. You’d be hard pressed to find any evidence that McCain is a racist or a bigot.

    Third, just keep trying to divert attention from the real racist and bigot that’s been joined at the hip with Barack Hussein Obama for 20 years, a man the Chocolate Jesus describes as his mentor.

    For the record, we’re not supporters of Sen. McCain here. if you can read anything you don’t have to color, you could check out the rest of the blog before putting your McCain Derangement Syndrome on display for all to see.

  • Note: the previous commenter just earned himself a lifetime ban with a vile personal attack on the host. If you check his blog out, you can tell really quickly his butter slipped off his noodles like the rest of the moonbat Left. He’s a Kos Kid. Kos Kids have the IQ of a turnip. And, I guess when you have no legitimate defense, you resort to (1) diverting attention, (2) changing the subject, (3) moral equivalency and when all else fails, (4) ad hominem personal attacks.

    Like I’ve said before, while this place may not be All Things Considered, it sure as heck isn’t The Jerry Springer Show.

    Like you don’t go into someone’s house and rattle off insults at the host, you don’t come in here and do that.

  • I am sorry but you can’t say that McCain used the word gook to describe Vietnamese people due to his ill treatment in the war. But then turn around and say that typical white person from someone who undoubtedly has had to deal with the age old phenomenon associated with white people.

    He has (I am sure) had to deal with white people who cross the street when they see you. Or white ladies who clutch their purses or place them on the other shoulder as if you are going to run off with it. The list goes on and on. And since this is not ONE white person but almost every other one you get close to, then to me and to a lot of people these are the typical actions of a typical white person that you come into contact with.

    But somehow that is a racist statement, yet Gook is understandable. You are just looking for a reason to down the guy. I don’t feel that he used the correct words but I for one being black understood exactly where he was coming from since I have had to deal with the exact same treatment that he spoke of. As I am sure many, many other blacks have as well. Also I don’t think that that man should be calling McCain crazy etc. That is a too extreme.

    Thanks

  • Until I moved to Milwaukee, all the “people on the street I don’t know” who piqued my caution by following me too closely or hooting vulgarities out their car windows, etc, were white. Race played no part at all in the development of my self-defense awareness–which I believe is called “flaunting my privilege” by academics. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
