1. When it's presented as distorted bullshit as in your post, it might not play well.

5. He said "typical" white person of "THAT" generation
The same with Rev. Wright, who is "typical" is HIS generation.

8. Context isn't very important to the OP, apparently.
Faux News couldn't have done it any better.

6. They probably won't care
Middle America is a lot less concerned with crap like this than with just making their
paychecks last for two weeks at this point in time.

Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 06:39 PM by JorgeTheGood
darned tired of Obama talking down to me about race like I'm a 3rd grader.

I remember the segregated lunch counters at woolworths back in the 50's and I remember how it used to piss me off that blacks were treated like 2nd class citizens.

WTF does Obama have on HIS resume in terms of real-life experience on race?

I was involved in civil rights before he was a dream in his daddy's pants and he has the audacity to imply I need a lecture on the subject because I'm white and don't understand?

Whare did you find this condescending piece of work?

12. Do we really need multiple posts on the same subject?
Can't all the Hillary supporters just congregate in one thread on this subject?
