Obama makes RACIST comment about "typical white person"
Advertisements [?]
Imagine if Hillary talked about a "typical black person."?

Don't tell me there's not a double standard. He's basically saying all white people are scared of the angry black man and makes racist comments like his grandmother.

Fuck him.

In an interview with sports radio 610 WIP in Philly early this morning, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said "the point I was making was not that my 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, well there's a reaction that's in our experiences that won't go away and can sometimes come out in the wrong way. And that's just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it."
