"Typical White Person" T-Shirts now available, thanks to Obama
Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 11:45 AM by 2rth2pwr
Edited to make clear that these are not my tshirts, not my idea. This is a direct result of Obama's comments.

Thanks Obama for bringing us all together.

You're not only doing a disservice to yourself with your race-baiting, but you make DU look like freeperland. I can think of a lot of websites that would welcome this, need I list them?

And Obama is not helping to unite us, he is serving to divide this country.

27. The truth has no place here anymore...
Only the lock-step are welcome...

We are apparently supposed to turn a blind eye and ear to racial remarks from certain people, but God forbid anyone not in that "certain people" group say anything off color. It's ok for certain people to be Christians too... while others are called "creationists" instead. The rules no longer apply across the board.

You and I haven't agreed on much here lately, but I'm finding this offensive too. I've gone out of my way to be sure and raise my children NOT to see color... and this is what they get in return. They are just your typical white kids now I guess. I would have punished them sternly for talking like that, but it's ok for "certain people" to talk like that.

How many more spins before DU goes down the toilet?

36. So what do you think of the people that are taking his speech and...
turning it into division? I take it by posting this t-shirt, you support those who want to divide Americans so we will continue to collapse as a country? Great job, your children and family would be proud, you should show them some of your posts.

Thank you for your service and time in trying to make America better!

Along race lines. This is sickening what Obama has done. Then Obama slipped a photo of Clinton and Wright to NY Times, which is dishonest. Obama will do anything to win.

59. oooh, "typical white person"--that's soooo outrageous!!
I'm white and I'm not offended. I could give a rat's ass. The only people who are "offended" are the white supremacists who are affronted by this uppity negro who just doesn't know his place. The Aryan Nations BULLSHIT bothers me a lot more than an innocuous observation by Obama about 90% of white people--they cross the street when they see the scary black man coming.

18. I'll bet Obama's grandmother doesn't look anything like that really.
He IS a potentially unifying force who was defending his grandmother who everyone said he had "thrown under the bus."

You people will roast him for anything and everything and it's so divisive and unenlightened.

sheesh

peace and have a nice day

There is truly a delicate balance between stressing our commonalities and our diversities.

He far more often has done the latter.

Relax maybe.

34. I am White, and I think it's idiotic you imply there are NO stereotypical Whites.

I thought "reverse racism" was copyrighted and trademarked by our friends across the aisle. Did they grant you permission to use it in a Democratic primary?

46. The OP is not stating there are stereotypical whites, Obama's comments do. Do you think his comment
"typical white person" implies a generous, accepting, racially unbiased person? And it does matter because he's doing exactly what we don't need, stereotyping and classifying people. Too bad, such a waste of time.

I am white. I find no offense. And I support Clinton. Sorry that I don't share the righteous indignation so many believe I should feel...

The funny thing about insults is that if a person looks for them hard enough, he can find them in places even where they don't exist...

Love your new avatar.

My mum is an absolute sweetheart. She used to make comments about uppity _________________ (a group of first generation immigrants from a Mediterranean country. It made me cringe also.

They were hard working, many were and still are my friends, and they've, by and large done really well for themselves.

She was just repeating what her mom had said. I'd always correct her.

OTOH Her dad was the only person in my white bread town who hired two Afro Americans to work on his farm. My cousins and I would follow them around like they were Pied Pipers and bother them to be funny when they were trying to get stuff done.

We were probably more than a little bit of an annoyance but we worshiped them. They responded with tolerance, patience, and humor. LOL

Now my mum is really open minded and wished she could have had voted for Barack in our closed primary.

We should perhaps all consider generational roots before casting such extreme judgments.

I've heard Obama's grandmum is not entirely healthy. People calling her a "racist" or saying that "he threw her under a bus" can't be helping her energetically.

Maybe let's put her on the prayer thread.

:hi: & :loveya: back

38. some of you will jump on anything... typically
Since you look at Fox News, did you see Wallace castrate the morning news show for bashing Obama and taking the quote out of context?

I don't like saying this but this is typical of uneducated Clinton supporters. They latch onto any sound bite and run with it as if this will help Clinton win. That is old school politics. This is 2008. Stop yourselves.
