Obama has revealed himself to be an angry America-hating racist.

wowee   March 20th, 2008 - 11:30 pm

MR OBAMA WHAT IS A TYPICAL BLACK PERSON? YOU HAVE SHOWED THAT YOU CAN LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THAT YOU HAVE RACIST INCLINATIONS BOTH CHARACTER FLAWS NOT BEFITTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Step Down Sir.

“Stereotypes” of black street crime? Who the heck else is committing the overwhelming majority of robberies, rapes and murders in American cities? That’s not a “stereotype” it’s called reality.

It’s not fear, you monkey, it’s disgust.

I think its BS when black people nitpick every little comment and say its racist. Its just as retarded for white people to do it back though like what’s going on here.

Rodney Whittaker   March 21st, 2008 - 2:06 am

Hateful? Racist?…I don’t see or hear it from the guy…at all.

One thing is certain, many commenters here just refuse to cut him any slack whatsoever and seem to revel in finding him guilty of…wait, what is he guilty of again?…oh yeah, nothing.

All of this faux-outrage, this mock-indignation says so much more about you than it does him. I mean you have to really work hard to miscomprehend his message into the kinds of bizzare characterizations you’ve invented.

The only thing I worry about is that if he gets elected one of you gleefully hateful nutjobs will try and off him.

Typical racist. But you won’t hear the lamestream media say it…

gene   March 21st, 2008 - 8:44 am

Point is he keeps putting his foot in his mouth and then needs two or three interviews/speeches to explain what he really meant. The blogs are full of supporters explaining what Sen. Obama really means or what his wife or Pastor really means. I don’t think leaders of other countries will cut him some slack. Sen. Obama gives a good speech, so can an actor, but he makes mistakes in judgement when he is off script.

The above 5 comments reflect ignorance; sadly incapable or unwilling to perceive the true meaning of what is being said. There are those whose ears do not hear. In this case, the man is throwing pearls to swine and am thankful and happy that so many more have ears to hear, eyes to see, and embrace a vision that far exceeds the standards you settle for.

Tracy   March 21st, 2008 - 9:20 am

I am confused by his comments. He sounds like he is just talking in circles.

credible   March 21st, 2008 - 9:45 am

Hey jamie, you forgot to write “my name is Barack Obama, and I approve of this message.”

joe   March 21st, 2008 - 9:46 am

jamie what kind of vision are you talking about? Sociali$m? Your in the wrong country for that. Try Europe there are plenty there. Start packing, oh and take some like minded friends please.

Rhonda   March 21st, 2008 - 12:08 pm

Typical white person = Obama is a typical racist!

jake   March 21st, 2008 - 12:38 pm

Bobo   March 21st, 2008 - 12:51 pm

He’s a racist, but against what race? The black people love him because he’s “black”, but he’s NOT.

Personally, I don’t care what color you are. If you’re not courteous, don’t smile, and made a sudden move toward me, I’m going to smack you down.

His quote from the book is racist, but the racist blacks won’t distance themselves from it.

Bobo   March 21st, 2008 - 12:52 pm

Rodney Whittaker, you’re an idiot. Obama’s words were clear. You’re just not smart enough to understand.

bobo   March 21st, 2008 - 12:54 pm

Jamie, you’re an idiot. YOU might think that Obama’s tossing pearls before swine, but the reality is that there ARE no pearls. Obama has said NOTHING, but he’s said it in such a way that mental midgets like yourself call him “inspirational”.

Jamie,
Nice try moron. You can do your typical liberal parsing to make it suit your nutjob beliefs, but the man said, “Typical white person’s response.” PERIOD. If McCain said “Typical Black person’s response” he would be charged with a phuckin hate crime, you buffoon. Too bad the two college woman who were murdered in the last two weeks by Neegros, didn’t have a typical White person’s response. Liberals must have hypocrisy to make their points, ot else they crumble like a deck of cards. This guy has been exposed as a race baiter, and someone unwilling to say what Bill Cosby has about the Black community, as he fears being called a sellout, and losing votes. Typical Race Pimp. is he.

WHAT in the HELL is he talking about?????? I love how the Messiah talks for the entire white race. What the hell does he know what we are all thinking? I walk past black people every day and don’t “fear” them. And don’t you love how he wants to “talk” and have “dialog”. But only after we elect him president.

According to Barack, blacks should make “no sudden moves” around whitey so as not to scare them.

On p. 94-95 he describes an effective tactic to deal with White people:

“It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved – such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”

I sure hope he doesn’t speak for all black people.

joe   March 21st, 2008 - 5:23 pm

Hey JAMIE what vision is that? Socialism??? You are in the wrong country. You want that type of vision there are plenty of countries to choose from in Europe, start packing. Oh and take some friends.

Sarah   March 21st, 2008 - 6:15 pm

Um…it’s just sad.

Nick Kasoff - The Thug Report   March 21st, 2008 - 7:34 pm

Obama wants to attend a racist church, benefit from a racist component of the electorate who is voting for him just because he is “one of us” … then turn around and claim to be a uniter. What a crock.

Remember if your Black the rules are different.

For instance one use of the N’word by a white person is the equivalent of three murders by a black person.

Get it?

Maximus   March 21st, 2008 - 8:09 pm

LOL!
This racist is a joke!
He needs to go back and sit on his porch and drink his 12 pack and smoke his crack and collect his welfare with the rest of the typical black people.

whiteflight   March 22nd, 2008 - 10:39 am

That was a low blow to treat his little white grandmother with such disrespect by comparing her to Jeremiah Wright. Am I racist because I worry about getting assaulted or robbed by black people that I don’t know. You are damn right they scare me because blacks represent all the wrong things in our society- Crime, poverty, drugs, teen pregnancy. I worry when I see a group of black people walking at me- I cross the street because they’ll kill you even if you give them your money. We have given them the Democratic Party – will that be enough now. This is going to be the biggest white vote flight you’ve ever seen. Let’s give segregation another try. Blacks ruin every thing they get their hands on. 2008- The year the democratic party turned inoperable.

Dr. BLT   May 11th, 2008 - 10:03 pm

No matter how hard he looks towards November, voters will keep looking back at his years with Wright, his comment about the “typical white” person and the infamous “bitter” comment.

Then again, what do I know? I’m just an…
