03/23/2008: ""Typical white person" not offensive, "typical black person" is"

Obama said: "The point I was making was not that my grandmother...is a typical white person who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, there's a reaction...that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."

"We doubt this story will have legs, but wonder if Hillary Clinton referred to a 'typical black person,' would we ever hear the end of it?" Dan Gross of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote on his PhillyGossip blog.

"Seriously, Barack Obama basically called all white people racist. ... Is this guy kidding?" wrote Taylor Marsh on Huffington Post in midafternoon.

[ Race is a one-way street: white people bad, anyone else good. It's the revenge of alienated white people and minorities who resent what others (normal, healthy white people) made for themselves, and they want some justification for a free piece of the pie. ]
