"Barack Obama is a Racist...."-Glenn Beck

[QUOTE="gamerguru100"][QUOTE="UT_Wrestler"]Anyhow, Obama described his grandmother as a "typical white woman", and called the police officer an idiot who arrested Dr. Gates before he even knew the facts. Oh, and this is aside from the fact that he listened to sermons from a vocally racist pastor for the past 20 years, and never had enough of a problem with it to switch churches. Okay, now imagine if George W. Bush called someone a "typical black person" and went to a church led by a racist pastor for the past 20 years, guess what people would label him as? I'm not saying that I know for sure whether or not Obama is racist, but he doesn't do himself any favors with his words and actions.privateerblue

[QUOTE="fidosim"][QUOTE="privateerblue"] No one would call Bush a racist if his mother was black, come on guys, Obama had a white mother. His grandmother was a typical white woman, what is wrong with saying that?privateerblue

Well that may be true, but Glen Beck is just as racist as Obama.

You mean like when Beck was interviewing a Muslim congressman and said "Prove to me that you're not a terrorist"?

As far as this "typical white woman" quote goes, does anyone remember the context?

He was talking about his grandmother admitting to feeling afraid when she saw a few young black males walking nearby. His grandmother was born in what...about 1920 or 1930?

I would guess that her response was typical of many people her age and born in her era. It seems people just have a negative image of the word "typical", and get bent out of shape for it. For one, it does not mean "every". As to say, not ALL white women would be afraid, obviously.

A racist calling someone else racist... Locke562

The thread need not have continued after this post, it says all that needs to be said.

That was an absurd statement. By someone like Beck, or anyone else. I was pissed with G W Bush's handling of Katrina, but I'd never stoop to calling someone I don't know a racist. btaylor2404

Hey B. I agree with you, as always. But I should point out that TECHNICALLY, Kanye said (if you were talking about him) that "Bush doesn't care about black people". That could be true for reasons other than being racist (like "they are not Republicans", "they are not huge corporation owners", etc).

I know, it may be a stretch for some. And I don't know what he meant, but as for myself, I have realized for years now that most of the bad treatment of minorities is financial more than racial. If we were rich, even racist people would find a way to get over it and accept our money...

Don't take it out of context, that sentence has a question mark at the end. He wasn't stating a declarative, also listen to the tone of his voice. It's obvious he was asking a rhetorical question.

If anything, his (Obama) latest handling of this Cambridge thing give clear insight that he a racial bias.

Sorry, I don't see that. Especially not "clearly". As with everything, people are largely split on this issue. I don't see how his actions scream "racist".

I still think Gates being arrested WAS "stupid", as do many others.

To be honest, I never talked much about the Katrina incident. I am not sure what my opinion is, so I left it alone.

My favorite rapper did a good song about it though (Mos Def: "Katrina clap". For worse towards Bush than Kanye was, but I guess they never heard it)...

But I don't think Obama said the cop was racist, just that Gates arrest was stupid. Which his quick release kinda backs up.

Matter of fact, if Gates was being disruptive, he should have been issued a ticket at most. Not arrested.

Yes, that was more my point. In fact, he backed it up a bit. At leats in my mind.

Black people in a republican state. Politically, getting rid of them was a sound decision...

How are ya my friend? Nice to see you two days in a row! Now on topic I wasn't referring to Kanye. He is in a different position than me and is a black man. I cannot pretend to see the world thru his eyes, so I don't condemn what he said. But with Beck, we are both middle aged white males so I think I can draw that comparison. And as always I agree 100% on the financial aspect, but I would add that I think a minority that is wealthy and makes a mistake has a much less leeway than a white person in America.

I do find it severely ironic that, after complaining about being labeled racists for remarkably stupid reasons, some Republicans are now trying to do the exact same thing to Obama :lol:

Neither do I -- nor am I calling Obama an inherent "racist". What I am in fact leaning towards was that Obama has a clear racial bias because of the automatic jump on that "bandwagon" which if a black man and/or woman is getting arrest, "racial profiling" was so-called involved. The notion that the police as a whole acted stupidly is in fact ignorant within itself.

In your opinion. Anyone can be arrested for a misdemeanor crime. :|

There are nuts in both parties. The "birthers" are probably the strongest case of idiots in the Republican party right now. I must say, anyone who thinks Repubs are working with Osama to attack the United States is just plain ignorant.
