Reply #21: His exact statement

[Pastiche423]

(well, according to whitehouse.gov)

"Some of the debate really center around the fact that people don't believe Iraq can be free; that if you're Muslim, or perhaps brown-skinned, you can't be self-governing and free. I strongly disagree with that. I reject that, because I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul, and, if given a chance, the Iraqi people will be not only self-governing, but a stable and free society."

Makes on wonder who "people" are. Was he implying that the U.S. is a racist country? Was he saying that "people" are racist, but he is not?

OR

Was he implying that "the brown baby" (Poppy's name for Jeb's son) could govern?
