Obama trashing his grandmother again? Update: Audio link added
Update: Audio here.
***
Reader Edward e-mails:
This morning (Thursday 3/20/08) on WIP AM 610 Sports Radio in Philadelphia, host Angelo Cataldi interviewed Senator Obama. During the beginning of the segment (about 07:40 AM) Mr. Cataldi asked the Senator about his comments on Tuesday regarding his “white” grandmother. I am paraphrasing here, but his response was something like “She is a typical white person who fears people on the street.”
Please try to obtain a tape of the segment and listen to it yourself, but if I heard this correctly, it was another look at who this guy really is.
Hope the radio station posts the audio. Here’s 610’s site.
If this is how Obama responds when he’s “shaken up,” God help us if he’s in the White House during the next terrorist attack or international crisis.

Guess the song “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer” is due for an update…
“Grandma got run over, by the Obama-Bus”
Someone with artistic/poetry skills can run with that….
Obama is a real piece of work. Funny how he doesn’t mention Jesse Jackson who has the same fears. Guess that doesn’t play into Obama’s racist personality.
I wonder how many white people, when asked, would say that they have no problem walking through a black neighborhood? That doesn’t make grandma a racist/bigot. That makes her sane. Maybe Obama should be giving grandma credit for his intellect instead of calling her a bigot.
The less Obama mentions Jesse Jackson, the better Obama’s chances to win this horserace.
some love he has for this white woman who took care of him when his black father walked out on him. is this how Obama repays those who sacrifice to raise him? didn’t white devil grandma also pay for that expensive school in Hawaii.
America is a great country - one where you can diss your own family for political gain - but only if they’re white.
Obama’s turned out to be more disgusting than my wildest imaginations could have ever allowed me envision. he’s an opportunist of the worst kind. he’s turned out to be one of those liberals i hate the most - the one that will smile and make conversation while stabbing you in the back.
Rush needs to change his strategy - the GOP needs to vote for this knucklehead to be in the general election.
I assumed the white woman who loved and sacrificed for him was not living. Learning she is alive makes his remarks even more egregious, if that is possible. Disgusting.
These fears aren’t irrational. If Glowbama wants to do something about the stereotype he wouldn’t go about it in this manner. What he is essentially saying is that, yes you white people are scared of black people and it’s your own damned fault. Huh?!? What???
Change, change, change. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
What streets exactly is Ohblahmas granny walkin down?
I mean c’mon I would be a tab bit scared myself walking through some streets in L.A. theres just certain things one doesnt do.
Maybe she should get some type of gps bracelet so they can track the old gal.
Ok why not cite the Baltimore bus beatings, Auburn slaughter of white girl, UNC class president killed for the use of her car. Not only should people fear certain streets & neighborhoods but fear the court system now structured under the liberal model.

Grandma got run over by Obambam
Sitting in her nursing home one eve
You can say there’s no such thing as family
But as for Barack, in Trinity United, he believes
She sacrificed her life to raise her grandson
Despite the fact we’re told she hated blacks
But sent him to a private school in Hawaii
Where he learned to be a political hack
Barack’s not so proud of Grandma
Not as much as he is of Rev. (sic) Wright
Nodding his with praise head during sermons
Where all the evils of the world are blamed on whites

My hubby is hilarious. I thought this was funny so I wanted to share…
Obama would be funny too if the press didn’t treat him with more respect than the pope. He’s a black Mr. Bean who can’t keep his foot out of his mouth. Only problem is when the press sees him standing around chewing on his toes, they feel it would be disrespectful not to ask him for a taste.
Typical black politician who fears the white guy in the voting booth.
Obama is toast. He is an opportunist of the worst kind. And America sees that now. Well, fifty-three percent do. I don’t believe he can be elected anywhere except Illinois. And that might be tough the next time.
Does he ever talk about how some blacks fear walking down the same streets granny is talking about, and for the same reasons?
I wonder if grandma is chained in a basement somewhere?
I would love to hear why Obama is more ashamed of her than Wright.
PB,
Her white skin. White people are evil, even, or as far as he is concerned, especially the granny who lovingly cared for him when no one else would.
This is the type of man that the liberals hold up and bow down too.
Ohblahma said
“these people are part of who I am”
That speaks volumes in itself.
buh-bye Oblahma.
30, I can only imagine the crap you have had to put up with.
Respect.
PB,
It’s made me a stronger person in the long run. I can’t change what other people do. However, I can control how it affects me.

It seems they do things diffrently in Chicago!
It’s all political opportunism. Grandma is a sacraficial lamb on the 2008 alter for the presidential race for Obama, I guess.
I tried my hand and politics for a local-level office once. Turns out, i didn’t have the knack for being underhanded and doing whatever it takes to get elected, even on that level. I know I couldn’t pass muster on the state or federal levels and turn on my family and friends to succeed.
The more slime the sleezy right throws at Obama the more Presidential he looks. You can make videos cutting between Obama and Malcolm X. You can pretend he doesn’t love his grandmother (why is “white” in quotes?) because he talks about her honestly. Can any of you pretend there are not racially charged situations that make you nervous?
Did you notice McCain, supposedly prepared and experienced, saying over and over that Iran was training Al Qaeda? He was corrected by Lieberman and Petraeus.
Wow, the woman who raised the man is just a “typical white person who fears people on the steet.”
Here’s a question for Obamassiah–what do you know about “people on the street, seeing as how you’ve never been on “the street”?
Wow, at least Bill Clinton could APPEAR to have charm.
I think grandma might have reason to be afraid of any black men she might see near Trinity church, based on their racist and anit-American rantings.
Good thing this wasn’t a white person describing how a “typical” black person thinks. That would be racist.
America’ Most Wanted:
Obama’s Grandma
Rev. Wright
Where are these people?
Have the MSM asked them their opinions of Obama’s speech? They might be able to return from Aruba long enough to chase this down.
WIP AM 610 Sports Radio in Philadelphia???
Slow sports day???
A waitress told a coworker (a Haitian) I live in Haiti. Then she pointed out I was white. I had to ROFL as I did not know it at the time.
I guess I should have asked Glowbama if it is okay for me to walk down streets in Haiti. SHEESH
A typical white person? I was having my hair done last night..I am white, my stylist is black and that is pertinent to the converstion because we got into “the” speech and in particular..Grandma. Here is what I learned from her: It isn’t a white thing, it’s a human condition. We sometimes are forced to go to areas known to be crime laden, and it is human nature to be scared. We dissected the city and guess what I learned? Well, I didn’t really learn it, I already knew it.. Blacks are no more apt to go to certain areas than whites are. Blacks aren’t given a pass any more than a white person is. We also concluded that not all the forbidden areas are “black”..so onto the feelings on Grandma..by this time, one of her co-workers who is also black and didn’t have a client is in our conversation. You do not air the business of the woman that raised you. It just isn’t acceptable to blacks or whites. The coworker (early 50’s) brought up the point that Obama talks about his struggle being raised a bi-racial child in a white world, but what about his grandparents struggle..They didn’t stuggle?
The church and Rev. Wright…why did it take 20 years to realize what was going on, they asked.. Their feelings were that his judgement isn’t too sound. The speech made them doubt him.
At this point, my appointment concluded..I learned that sometimes things aren’t black or white..their shared human feelings..
Y’know, I’ve never been afraid of black people in general but, after hearing how some feel about me, I’m beginning to feel some anxiety. I can’t believe how naive I’ve been.
jung, I agree.
White folks have moved beyond race and they are stunned and shocked to see overt racism being preached in black churches.
Someone please define the liberal/MSM definition of “racism” because I am tired of watching the goalposts move.
Here is the quote as reported by Philly.com:
Very good bloghooligan,
I made a couple of small changes, hope you don’t mind.

Okay, mine’s not nearly as good as bloghooligan, but here’s my take:
Grandma got run over by the Obama bus
As he drove along the campaign trail Tuesday eve
The MSM can believe all the hype about Glowbama
But the truth is what the smart people really see
You can’t pick your family members, but you can pick your pastor, your church of 20 years, your mentor, your spiritual adviser, and the most influential man in your life.
If that’s an accurate quote he took race out of it and left it in at the same time.
Everytime I’m on the “street” 99% of the people are people I don’t know……is he saying this “reaction” of her and most whites is to the mere existance of people?
maybe granny got a hold of Oblamas cocaine and shes just paranoid.
Where IS granny? Or any of the white, or Asian side of Obama’s familiy? Isn’t Obama just as white as he is black? Is Barak trying to hide his herritage? Where is the other side of Barak’s family? And why did he throw Granny under the bus? As a man, is he incapable of understanding why women (any kind) might be afraid of passing men on the street (any kind)? It’s called the reality of assault and rape in America? Can we ‘diaglogue’ about that too?
I suppose hearing comments like that help to make Obama’s point. Oh, wait, that didn’t come from Obama’s grandmother, it came from….Jesse Jackson!
We all now need to think of Jesse Jackson as a “typical white person”. Try people!
“Typical white person?” What the hell does that mean? What about saying that she’s a typical woman living in a country where 1 in 10, or 1 in 5, or more women will be raped in her life by a man of a variety of races? How could Barak not get that? What about saying she’s an elder American in a society where some people prey on elder Americans? Barak is turning out to be as insensitive as hell.
This is all well and good, and more than enough to justify throwing Barack Obama under the same bus he threw his grandma under, but I tend to get a lot more concerned about him when I read things like
this . His ignorance of the way markets work is almost as total as his ignorance of foreign affairs. He’s apparently never heard of OPEC.
Anyway you look at it, Obama has become unelectable. He first hooked up with Rev. Wright when starting out as a community organizer to gain street cred, not knowing how far he’d rise in life. Now it has caught up with him, and his stumbling over it has done in his candidacy.
I think that this is a pretty stereotypical thing for Obummer to say about his grandmother. Perhaps, she had a justified fear of crime. To say this about his grandmother but to listen to his pastor Wright spout racist conspiracy theories is just plain hypocritical.
Who will this guy throw under the bus next… his dear wife Michelle?
What Obama fails to say is that his white grandmother didn’t call every black man she passed a bum, but only certain ones that she knew or expected were bums. I’d be willing to bet she said that about a few white men as well.
When I lived in the South as a child, we had three different versions of the “N” word. One was just simply an expression of race - like caucasian. The second was the well known reference to a black bum and the word often associated as the “N” word. The third was a term of endearment for a well respected black man who was down on his luck but otherwise a good American citizen.
The same type of language choices also applied to whites. One was an expression of race. One was an expression of low class trash. And one was an expression of a hard working farmer or someone who worked consistently in the sun.
This must be a post from a 7th grader. Lets see, don’t like where a topic is heading so change the topic.
It is not the right who is making Obama look bad. It is his adopted cousins. When the Black Panthers are praising your speech, then you know your speech has undertones of victimhood and hostility towards white people. What is worse is that Obama calls himself black. He disowned his white mother years ago.
lgm sez:
Oh, we don’t HAVE to do that, seeing how’z Obama can just do and say stupid, sleezy things all by hizzelf. All we have to do is point them out to you silly-nilly Obama worshippers.
By the way, Obama is the guy who has interjected race into this, all the while confusing you dim-wits into thinking he was talking about “unity.” The real point people have made about Obama’s hate-spewing abomination of a “pastor” was BO’s utter lack of judgement in choosing one that subjected himself and his family to mind/soul poison every Sunday.
It’s bewildering how the Obama’s-better’n-FDR-Honest-Abe-’n-MLK-all-rolled-into-one crowd can’t figure this guy out. I mean he chose this crazed “minister of God” over his own Grandmother. BO’s got no soul. He’s completely empty inside. Nothin’s there.
Another point is how this “minister” has polluted otherwise good, decent people for all this time with his vile blasphemy of the Gospel of Christ, and we’re expected to just except that, because “it’s a Black thing.” Meanwhile, the media got their undies all in a bind over Mitt Romney’s Mormonism. DOUBLE STANDARD anyone?
Double standard is all over this nonsense. And don’t bother me with how bad McCain is, because he’s a joke. I admit it. The thing is, Obama is soul-less, mindless abomination. He’s a construct of the Democratic Party that his handlers uploads their messages, turn him on, and he does his “yes we can” thing.
Hell, I’d rather have Hillery as president. She’s a b*tch, but at least we’ll know what we’ll get from that couple. Obama is an enigma. His staunchest followers don’t have the slightest idea who he is, what he thinks or believes (I maintain that he thinks and believes what he’s told to), or what the hell he’ll do in a crisis.
So far, the only thing I know is that he’s the most thin-skinned, whiny little twerp I’ve ever seen run for the highest office in the land. It appears to me that it never occurred to Mr. Obama that he might have some people opposing his campaign, and that just OFFENDS him. He’s pathetic.
Now Huckabee is excusing Obama and Wright and Farakan and anybody that has a gripe about America. Huckabee for V.P.
For a guy who will need the support of a majority of the people in both his own party, and the entire country, to be elected to the Presidency, this guy is an idiot.
He’s been around all these racist people who make a living out of spewing racial hatred, that it has become part of him.
These race “urban legends” that permeate black thinking, about white fear of blacks is just a cover up for their own bad behavior. Whites don’t fear blacks…. period!!! Whites don’t go out of their way to treat blacks badly… period!!!
In my experience many blacks will go out of their way to treat anybody, of any race, badly. Then when they get a push back they scream “racism”.
#40 I asked the same questions myself yesterday. I think he has them in seclusion - Siberia maybe?
And if he feels that way about his own grandmother, how does he REALLY feel about the rest of us whiteys? Who is he really trying to unite?
Bloghooligan #10:
I give you props for fitting this little ditty into a song… time to go national with it, baby!
McCain might have flubbed a question on Al Qaeda, but at least he doesn’t have a racist spiritual mentor or a spouse on the Saudi payroll.
All depends on how many superdelegates it can net him!

Nail-head! The Dimocrap nomination will come down to who can buy the most.
LOL AJ. I like the ebonics plate too!
Hey, Mister P, I think lgm is inadvertently gunning for an “unofficial advisor” position in Obummer’s campaign. He’s already pretty adept at changing the subject when the subject of race (like the economy and foreign relations) show Obummer to be ignorant of not only judgement but common sense. Then again, lgm tends to change the subject when either a)the current topic makes him uncomfortable or b)he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I really think Obummer should hire him, don’t you?
Granny is alive and well in her high rise in Honolulu.
I think people here are underestimating how well the Obamanation will do in general election. The economy does seem to be sliding and the media will whip that and Iraq negativities up.
The media, academia, the Hollywood elite and various “victims” along with nearly all blacks want Barry as their Savior. Say it ain’t so Joe.
The libs cannot do any better than scumwads like Hill, Barry and Two Americas Edwards. Compare Obama to Lurch and the Goracle as far as so-called charisma (they all suck too me) as viewed by the typical ill-informed Jon Stewart or David Letterman watcher, not to mention the fans of Matthews and Olbermann. Plus the “youth” loves the demogogue in the empty suit. What kind of underwear does he wear? The PC and Euroweenie multiculture fans will be attracted to the socialist ideas of much higher taxes and concern for the poor long abused minorities. Those illegal immigrants will get their citizenship and guarantee many more Dem votes.
Obama seems to identify with the black part of himself and not the white part. This is quite odd as he spent 99.9% of his life being raised by his white mother and her white parents. Does he prefer to identify himself as black because he’s ashamed of being white? It sure seems like that sometimes.
I don’t know why everyone is acting so shocked or surprised. Blacks hate Whites. The crap Wright, Farrakhan, Barry and Michelle spout, 90-95% of blacks also believe. If they didn’t, someone please explain how 90-95% vote liberal. The idea that B. Hussein used his grandmother as a counter to Wright is the most telling and disgusting part of that magnificent “speech” he gave. The idea that any black who simply behaves and actually lives the American dream is looked upon as a traitor or, as the phoney Bill Cosby said about Clarence Thomas,”brother lite”, needs to be acknowledged by Whites.
You know, it’s 2008 and this never stops. It never ends. Maybe it is possible that this is as far as they can go in this great country. That, other than the few anomalies (Sowell, Thomas, et al), the vast majority are the Obama’s, the Wright’s…
What in the world more can the White man do? I grew tired of this nonsense years ago. If that ground-breaking “speech” doesn’t officially end “White guilt”, nothing will…
Why is this ‘racist’ running anyway. He’s a Democrat, fair and balanced with everything…….black.
Ya know,
Obama and the Diversity Mafia have flamed the fires of racism.
I went to a mostly black middle school. We had school shootings before they were chic and gang wars in the front field after school. (I rode a bus an hour and a half to get to school. There was another middle school 15 minutes from my house. Yep, it was forced bussing.)
Anyway, I learned not only that I could have black classmates, but also black friends. That’s how racism is conquered. When people realize they all have something in common, DESPITE their skin color.
If I expressed this opinion nowadays, I would be called a racist for not recognizing and celebrating the majesty of black culture.
Meanwhile Rev Al Sharpton at the R&R trying to what Rev Wright’s remarks, explain them away as only criticism of the Government? Marty Davis, Chickaboomer, attended the R&R in D.C. and came back with this video it is interesting not everyone lets Al Sharpton off the hook. Marty states she put more of this kind of video in her chickaboomer youtube.

Jungatheart,
You are right. I served in the Army for 24 years and grew up on the city limits of Detroit. I am one of the white monsters that Rev Wright describes. I also have a black woman friend and have dated blacks for years. Now I am not sure anymore; reality is the majority of blacks in this country agree with Wright.
I have never really feared blacks, but hearing the hatred that comes out of Obama’s church, with a membership of over 8000 strong I am going to watch my back. VERIFY then TRUST
How many cities, how many churches preach hate against whites and the United States of America?
How many crimes commited against whites are a result of flaming idiots like Wright and people like Obama who identify with this crap?
In another thread, garyt asked:
He doesn’t, but you might think so watching Fox runing the same 20 second clip 24/7.
In the same way, Obama is not focused on race. You and the slime machine are focused on Obama on race. Obama talks about Iraq, the economy, education, health care, and, yes, racial healing. You should listen before running off your mouths.
I fear him more not for his color for his lack of intellect and decency.
Typical white person, what a racist thng to say!! Again, imagine a white person saying that about a black person?
He speaks on uniting and has been the most divisive of all but I knew that months ago when I read about the church he goes to. Geesh. Glad finally it’s come out, keep it coming too.
As Rusty is so overly fond of pointing out to us whenever we discuss the latest Democrat scandal, we truly have no way of knowing what Obama’s grandmother said as none of us are privy to their private conversations.
We don’t have any proof or evidence of her having ever uttered anything that could be considered racially charged - other than Obama’s word, and right now, his word doesn’t count for a whole heck of a lot with me.
Rooster: In just a couple of short months Obama has done more to hurt race relations than anyone I can think of. And this guy runs as a uniter
of people?
sorry lgm Oblahmas not the pied piper and I for one am not buying into his BS and wont follow him off the pier. you on the other hand be my guest.
Nice try lgm. I have to hand it to you. You are consistent and predictable.
The less people who reply to his rants, Marshall Russ, the more likely he is to get tired and troll elsewhere.
Well I have been listening to the response of blacks a white leftists and my conclusion is that they are attempting to bring every single white person into this and label them racists. On the black side most all believe that much if not all of what the cult leader says is true. So Obama is a typical black. I had the audacity of hope, hope that racism was not the issue it used to be but it isn’t. This guy BHO attended a racist anti semantic Africa first church and raised his children in that environment. Heck why don’t we just seek out a black Hitler and elect him president? I have my rights as an American I don’t have to get together with people who say the things they say about us. If they want to say them, fine, but from here on out when I see a black I will automatically think hmmm are they part of the hate whitey majority?
My ancestors fought in the revolution and we have always loved America but today im wishing there was a new place to go and start it all over again. Oh by the way BHO it is not us that is frightened it is you and yours even though a black walking through a white neighborhood is a thousand times safer than a white doing the opposite. I have worked in black neighborhoods many times so who are really the guttless wonders here? The msm and the dems are disgusting. they have the minds of children who have got away with anything they have ever done. This racist smear will never go away it will stay with me until I die and I would rather be dead than living in a country of their making. Their candidate was never vetted and now that he has been exposed we are all racists, typical.
Oh and go ahead and throw their hucklebuddie in with them he is no different. One reason I prefer to do my worshiping at home. Don’t think that this is the way I wanted it I only watch listen and then adapt to the situation before me. My biggest concern is not these racists but the other decent blacks that will unfortunately be lumped in with these types by some people. They are hurt just as bad as we are in this thing, democrats, their party slogan should be, divide and destroy. I can only hope they divide and destroy each other. Sorry about the frustration but it is building with every new day.
Horsefeathers. Obama has built his entire campaign on race, and being the “great uniter”. But now that the emperor’s clothes have been removed, he’s having to pay the price.
As for his stances on policy issues, yeah, most of us on here have listened. So what’s new from Obama here? Same socialist crap the Democrats have been espousing since the days of the New Deal, just more so. So much of that was ruled unconstitutional then, so what makes it a good idea today? Those policies are, basically, completely un-American.
lgm, just go drink more kool-aid and be happy.
Thomas#73,
I agree but, it’s too much fun. Even though I get tired of hearing their liberal rants I need to be reminded that almost half the country may not agree with people like lgm they will vote for people that do.
you know what…a 20 second clip of Rush Limbaugh is enough for liberals to psychoanalyze his entire life.
a 20 second clip from Wright, we’re told by liberals, is out of context.
provide the context for Wright’s remarks. and then, provide the context for the entire congregation celebrating those words with eruptions of clapping and amens.

More mindless dribble. The point that you will never figure out is that when a “minister of Christ” says things that agree with Louis Farrakhan race-baiting, anti-semitic rhetoric, not to mention the fact that he bestowed a “lifetime achievement award” upon this vile person, it becomes all too obvious that Jeremiah Wright’s theology has absolutely nothing to do with Biblical Christianity.
Jeremiah Wright is a political figure, period. He’s a propaganda-spewing vessel for universal Marxism, not Christianity. Christ taught is followers to pray for and love those how hated them. The apostle Paul taught that our struggle wasn’t against flesh and blood (or black & white), but against spiritual wickedness.
I do not have to hear any more than a few snippets of what this man says to figure that he’s not a true follower of Christ, let alone a minster for him. A little leven levens the whole batch, to use a Biblical analogy.
I guess my broad educational and career experience has set me apart from some of you ordinary peons who spew your racial hatred on this web site.
The coalition of races against blacks here has been formed completely out of ignorance. Do you not realize that the black community has some unique cultural aspects to it? Do you not realize that hundreds of years of oppression and mistreatment have something to do with their cultural differences?
Now, some of you actually seem to believe that because you are a non-black that you are in a position to judge black people because you are from a “proper” background.
How many of you have actually attended a predominately black church? During my esteemed career, I have been a member of several ALL black churches where I was the ONLY white person there. I have worshiped with them, lived among them, and I have accepted them as my brothers and sisters: fellow citizens. I have learned to understand much of their thought patterns and thus I understand much of their culture. Black folks are just as much Americans (unless they happen to be illegal aliens) as all of us (unless YOU are an illegal alien).
So how about knocking off the persecution of our fellow Americans and get off your “non-black” supremacist high-horse and start addressing the real issues that are in play?
I hear ya, Thomas. Add to the list Rusty, Rags, Dakine, etc. I’m sure there are others. I understand why they exist (for the entertainment value) and I’m sure they think they make a weird kind of sense but in the end, I guess ignorance is bliss.
Educational background? What a joke i will take the trash man over you. No wonder we have a breakdown in that area. Do your job and quit telling others what to do.
Can we please just ignore lgm and all the other trolls. We don’t really need to refute their claims….. their own statements show how misguided they are discredits them enough as it is.
So golly gee, Dr. Lead Based Paint, why don’t you show us the error of our ways instead of calling us names?
Your invective and rhetoric show you to be anything but “educated”. They show you to be, if anything angry and ignorant. Just the thing you accuse others of being.
I’m thinking you really have been eating the lead-based paint.
#80 On March 20th, 2008 at 11:11 am, Dr. Lead Based Paint:
You’re speaking tongue-in-cheek, right?
Thomas:
Don’t forget to add Dr. Lead Based Paint to the trolling list. Wow, we’re all racist and white supremacists for not seeing the much vaunted wisdom of Obummer and Wright. Okay…. yet another reason some of these “black churches” are more hate mills than places of worship.
I guess it’s okay to be “hated” and “preached about” by black folks but when the shoe is on the other foot… watch out! Get your diversity, multicultural cap on, boys and girls, it’s time for another reeducation session!
Oh, and just because a person attends a predominant black church doesn’t mean they know ALL the ins and outs of “black culture.” That’s like saying being a foreign exchange student is like “understanding” all of the culture that student is exposed to.
Man, white guilt is really alive and well in the 21st century…
Dear Lead. My horse is a miniature pony compared to yours.
Agreed… I know I’ve been feeding their need for attention like others but it’s so much fun!
If they could actually come on here with “substantive and supported” statements we’d have some great dialogue. Unfortunately, I guess the DNC needs to spread their talking points some way. /sigh
I second enjem24’s post.
emjem24, sorry.
Dr. Lead based, didn’t your mother tell you not to eat the peeling paint off the window sill.
If you are a white person, were you happy when the preacher told the black congregants that they are all victims of the white oppressors?
If you were never in one of these hateful BLACK churches, how many actually exist?
How many black chuches in a city the size of Chicago, or New York actually preach Black Supremacy and White Hatred?
Don’t be so liberal as to be a fool Dr.
Is it the consensus that #80 was not being sarcastic, but rather was being honest in that post?
I thought that at first, I’d give the benefit of the doubt.
But, if that post is an honest statement of the blogger’s opinion…then man, it’s dripping with arrogance.
Still, every time I read it, it still looks like it just might be tongue-in-cheek.
#64 I’m with you. When we lived in Miami (1970), a daughter was hurt in a high school race riot. The black lady who was my Godsend (7 kids,4 schools) had a son arrested for his part in the riot. After testifying at the trial, our daughter walked over to our black friend and kissed her on the cheek.
Yeah. I’m over it!
Well at least he gets to throw both his grandmothers under the bus.
Yo, Doc. Us “peons” are the ones who are tired of the racism. If you will step back for one flippin second you will see that we are also tired of the double standard. Go back and read this thread and posts without your rose colored glasses and the huge chip on your shoulder.
Dr Paint, you sound like you were involved in some kind of science experiment. I find your comments insulting, demeaning and totally rasict.
On March 20th, 2008 at 11:11 am, Dr. Lead Based Paint said:
Ohhhh…you’re “background” is soooooo insightful!
Lead paint, I am sick and tired of you “broad-minded” idiots telling me “you don’t get it.”
Au contraire, I get it ALL TOO WELL! Whole communities are raised with notions of the country they live in, whose institutions and functions have been set up for the benefit of one race (White), and to the detriment of all others (”People of Color”).
What’s so hard about “getting” that? That concept is so easy, even a numbskull liberal can figure it out. The problem I have with it is that people are being taught that nothing has changed since the 1860’s, and that 2008 America is hell-bent on wiping “people of color” off the face of the Earth.
So, WE’RE racist because we disagree with the lies and ignorance that is being poured out on a black community that is already impressed with the idea that no matter where they go, the deck is stacked against them? WE don’t “get it” when we believe that believing in yourself, in your abilities, and that through effort and perserverance one can rise above their circumstances, rather than blaming your personal failures upon other people?
Lead, when will all this idiotic “black heritage” with all of its propagation of suffering and misery going to end? I’ll tell you, it will NEVER end until people get off their backsides, shake off the chains of their oppressive “heritage”, and joins the rest of us as full citizens of the United States of America, rather than simply making due as mere residents.
If slavery isn’t dead in America, it’s because people have willingly embraced the idea that they are entitled to be where they are, they aren’t concerned about improving their lot in life, and that somebody else is responsible for keeping them there. That is slavery.
The irony in all of it is that there are black conservatives who have and are saying the very same thing I’m saying here, who agonize about the disintagration of the black family, culture, and society, and THEY are labeled as “Uncle Toms”, “Jim Crows”, and “House Negros”.
If someone here doesn’t “get it,” it’s folks like you, paint.
Ignore Dr. Paint. He’s just being a typical white person.
Making it to the fourth grade and sniffing glue doesnt count as broad education and career experience.
Does the fact that I speak truth and condemn your ignorance mean that I am a troll? Let it be the bigoted race-mongers here that are condemned as trolls.
Your reluctance to accept the present as interpreted through the past demonstrates your lack of cognizance which is a near universal symptom of Government school graduates.
Grandma got run over by Obama
(Glowbama Black Church Choral arrangement for rap video)
(chorus)
Grandma got run over by Obama,
In a speech defending Wright’s church yester-eve.
You might say there’s no such thing as “sainthood”,
But after Saint Obama, I believe!
(verse one)
People say he walks on water,
his nether regions sure don’t stink,
but even if he gives a good speech
That loony Pastor Wright might make him sink!
Wright says that we all must be racist,
’cause we’re white while he’s all black,
Like a tried true lib’rul creedo,
when you’re wrong it must be time to go on attack!
(chorus)
Now Grandma raised him up to be a good boy,
Never taught “ebonics” to the lad,
But as he’s learned from the good Pastor,
Espousing “race” is the new fad.
So life was rough for the “Obama”,
got new white shoes to match his trike,
that middle class was so darn racist
they must have kept ‘im down, says Pastor Wright.
(chorus)
So to defend egregious statments,
Saint Obama sacrificed his glow.
Got up high upon his soapbox,
and trampled little Grandma into the snow.
Poor ol’ Grandma must sure love him,
provided for him as it seems,
But Grandma can’t elect him Pres’dent
Naw, for that we need Black Hope, and Change, and Dreams!
(everybody sings, holding hands, We Are The World style, complete with Michael Jackson)
Grandma got run over by Obama,
In a speech defending Wright’s cruel bigotry,
You might say we’re awful wicked racists
but after he gave his that speech, we believe.
Yes, St. Obama spoke, now we believe!
Dr. Lead is a typical “white” racist, who forgot that we fought to end slavery, while Africa is still dealing in slaves.
They don’t call them slaves, but abductees. When they become too big at age 16-18, they are murdered and a new crop of abductees are recruited.
And I thought dakine was supposed to give us the “word for the day”.
bigoted race-mongers
Now go play with your sheep(skin) Doc.
Street Smart Grannies
Sounds like Obama’s white grandmother is very street smart and her actions (words) while walking down that street were designed to protect her own. Obama is an IDIOT for not recognizing this and mostly for using her as a political campaign analogy tool.
What an ASS***E Obama is.
Being WHITE she does NOT get Street Cred for teaching her grand children to be cautious, safe and secure at all times and being aware of your surroundings. This is “motherly” not racism.
Recent events tell the tale of this concisely:
The two white Co-Eds in Auburn/Opelika, AL and Durham, NC senselessly killed/murdered by young black thugs for robbery/rape motives. Where did these Thugs get their rearing and upbringing?
What about the BLACK on BLACK crime statistics? These black preachers using racism at the podium belittles their own to their own.
rooster,
Did you hear that on the Rusty Humphries show yesterday? He just got back from a fact finding mission there. Truly horrifying.
This statement:
…is utter gobbledygook. People who live through past wrongs committed towards OTHER PEOPLE BY OTHER PEOPLE is DELUSION! This is IDIOCY!!!
What “truth”? Everything you’ve said is based upon your personal experiences, which, based upon what you are SAYING is very poor evidence of “truth,” seeing as how you are terribly deluted.
Yes tgusa,
I heard it before, but never in detail like Rusty described.
Ironic that Obama’s church’s allegiance is to Africa first and yet they rant about the bondage they are in here in America.

Well, as the Brits say, Lead’s post #101 put paid to any doubt I might have had about whether the posts were “real” or tongue in cheek.
Such over-the-top arrogance!
Hey, Lead-based, I got news for you:
I’m just as smart as you.
I didn’t say I’m smarter than you; but, I can easily assure you that you are no smarter than I.
You tip us off to what you really are by using a lot more words, and goose-pimple-inducing ones at that, than are necessary to state your point: you think we are mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers.
Oops, if I don’t stop, I’ll be almost as guilty as you.
You think we are ignorant and stupid.
There…fixed it.
Get lost, clown.

Well, if you don’t say it, I will:
Lead-based, you’re an irrational dumkoff! Use you brain instead of your warped feelings.
Who would’ve thunk that we had so many poet-song writers on this site? LOL!!
Wright’s statements can be concisely summed up with:
1. We are Black, so we are oppressed by whites because our ancestors were once oppressed by whites.
2. We are Black so we are owed something by whites.
3. If white culture won’t give us everything we demand, we should just take it.
America certainly isn’t perfect, and no one will argue this, but warts and all, she’s still the prettiest toad in the swamp! I have friends of all races, religions, and gender, and typically, those who work hardest are rewarded with the most. People who settle for hand-outs are never satisfied with what they receive. This is not a function of “culture” or “race” but is simply a result of living in a FREE MARKET SOCIETY! It’s a result of CAPITALISM. He (or she) who is worth the most to others will be paid the most.
Pastor Wright cannot see this, unfortunately. Bill Cosby, on the other hand, DID see this, firsthand, as an entertainer of note. I believe that’s what makes him so bitter today towards others of his own race. I believe that Chris Rock also sees this, and plays off of it with his humor, much of it aimed at “black culture”.
The key irony is that both worked, or are working, in their chosen fields, and are successful at it. Unfortunately, “success” is definied in Wright’s view of black culture, as being a “sell out to the white man”. You’re a “sellout” if you earn money. In his view, if Bill Gates were black, he’d be a sellout, not a successful business man.
Obama doesn’t see it. His wife Michelle doesn’t see it. To preach about “hope and change” while holding fast to the very core beliefs of “black racism” is to simply have exchanged the white robes of the Klan for black ones. The Klan was bad, no doubt, but Wright’s church and teachings do nothing but establish a counter-culture of racial hatred. Neither group serves the best interests of individuals of any race in a free market societ like ours, where ability is the most coveted possession anyone can have.
Just when I thought I could be over the white guilt I was required to believe in, some black reverend spews racial and bigoted remarks.
Now I’m told that because of what he said I’m even more of a racist.
Maybe if I really started to be a racist, racism would end?
Actually, Dr. Lead offers us a unique opportunity here. We are fortunate, because we now have a perfect example of “White Guilt” being offered to us - up close and personal - to examine and learn from.
Think about this: if what he says is true, then he’s the only type of white person a lot of the militant black types are exposed to - after all, he says he was the ONLY white person to attend an all-black church.
If you were black and your only exposure to white people was somebody like Dr. Lead, wouldn’t you “hate whitey” too?

When all else fails it’s “biggoted race mongers” to the rescue.
Perpetual state of victim. The inferred blacks are not racist it’s the other guys also fits well. I’d give it a 97.
Being a southern white boy, would it due to hate myself? Would that fix the problem?
Good one soap!
With all the talented people here, surely there must be someone who can play the gee-tar and sing like Dr. Elmo and can put these various versions on YouTube. Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?
“Let it be the bigoted race-mongers here that are condemned as trolls.”? I thought we already did that? That lead has gone to your head.
When my ancestors were actually fighting in the Civil war leads were no doubt playing a game of big brother. Both sides, one a volunteer from Kansas that went in in 61 a brown haired young man, came out in 65 with a headful of grey ones. The other was a son of a small town Mississippi Dr.(a real one) and a southern cross recipient. The Dr. didn’t believe in keeping slaves and he treated blacks as well as whites. In those days Dr’s were able to do pretty much what they wanted, to harm them was to threaten everyone around town. You might end up hanging around somewhere permanently. So save your big brother bs for TV. This coalition has been forged through the fire of battle not by social experiments.

Not only hate the whitey, but know they are ignorant cowards!
