Just wondering.
Also wondering what defines a typical white preson? Perhaps not knowing the answer to this question is Typical of white people.
The only thing I am pretty certain of is that white people are typically a sort of pinkish tan color.
Perhaps a look into Obama's true racial oppinion. He thinks of us as typical?
More Obama spin.
Typical.
To answer your question: angry!
I have an African-American partner.
I have Japanese relatives.
Some of my best friends have been of other races, including African races.
I have advocated for social justice for all oppressed groups (ethnic/racial minorities, LGBT people, women, elderly people) for all of my adult life.
I am disgusted by Obama's statement the "typical white person" and how he used this to refer to a woman (his grandmother) whom he had already referred to as being racist.
So he is saying I am "racist" too, just by virtune of being a "typical white person". This time his comment is personal to me and I am disgusted by it.
Obama needs to drop out of this nomination process ASAP.

I'm sure the media will say that what Obama is saying is just proving that we typical white people are racist.
I have never been racist, and I am getting more and more offended by Obama's comments. This is unreal! I'm starting to think that "someone" is paying the media off -like Huffington- to do nothing but love Obama.

I have complained.

I am not white but a woman. I get scared when I walk late night and hear steps behind me.
I am typical woman. I think something wrong with Obama head. He should see shrink and take some serious advise. He is not right to be President. Now if you read Kerry's statement, it makes me think all crazy people are together and endrosing each other.
How about sending them to crazy land for vacation?

I have hated it when people identify me as white or latina. It is a disrespect to assume that because my skin is beige to olive green that I am white. My mother is white. I hate that too because my mother is English-Swedish. She cannot help that but her family were farmers for generations. They were not Nazis or White Supremists.
If my White mother were racist, she would not have had to inter-racial children and make sure that the other white and black kids in school did not beat us up all the time. I have fought racism since kindergarten. I am one of the invisibles that Hillary Clinton cites often.

Nothing changes you know, we all remain typical.
We are all always typical.
You must know what I am doing and thinking right now because obviously, it is typical behavior.
What a silly question.

That is what I have been saying about the crazy people on the streets of down town santa cruz for years. There are homeless people and then there are crazy homeless people. And, even though they all fight amongst each other, they all back each other.
For instance, over the summer, I think on the Fourth of July, they started a fire in the middle of street down town. So, they were all laughing and making fun of the firemen who had to come out with their fire hoses to put it out. I mean, only crazy people want to waste energy, time and money to break the backs and banks of the government.
Those same people attend the city council meetings and complain about not having services. Well, there is free food for homeless people in Santa Cruz. Every day there is the Catholic Mission and several others per week. Yet if they are not getting the services they want, why do they not participate in solving issues vs. creating issues to solve?
Please do not send more crazy people to our city.
You hit it when you said crazy people. Crazy people are self-centered and they do not care about other people. Yet, they will back up other crazy people just so that they can drive the rest of us nuts.

I am being my typical self today!
I'm here working, which I do 7 days a week to get myself
on track financially, catching up on a ton of medical and other bills
and to get my business to do better in this depressing economy.
I will then, typically, go home and play with my 5 goats who will
be waiting for me as I pull up in the driveway. They will wonder if I
have treats! Typically, I do.......peanuts, trail mix......certainly something
for these sweet, sweet creatures I call my kids!
Just another typical day!

This one is just great, I could probably come out with typicalisms for weeks.
So all of us are just like Bush, He's white right? Although most of us Typical White people think that Bush is well below typical, perhaps typical for a paramecium.
So Obama thinks we are single celled organisms? Ok in that case what does Obama think Atypical?Are blacks Atypical? Hmm seems contrdictary to me as most are the same shade of a brown color. Or does he think them typical and only himself Atypical?
If he thinks himself the only Atypical being on the planet then that suggests a GOD complex and from what we have been hearing in his capmaign speechs over the months pretty typical.

I'm fine and dandy...because I live well in my skin and with my mind. I know who I am, what I do, and don't have to wear my heart on my sleeve to engratiate myself to anyone. I'm not going to be bothered by all those who try to accuse me of something I'm not just because I dare to ask questions. You wanna throw the racist line at me...kiss my patootie!

If Hillary Clinton had said "typical black people" regardless of the context within which it was said, she would be crucified and called a racist.
Why is he getting off scot free on this issue? Is it because he's half white and half black so the powers that be think he can't possibly insult either race or say anything racially insensitive???
I am getting fed up with Nobama and his BONEHEADED comments.:mad:
And the media continue to act like he's going to be the nominee, that people across the nation are going to vote for him in droves.

Peronally I think we should always capitalize the word TYPICAL when ever we use the word in our posts. Or refer to our selves as "Being a TYPICAL white person", or "This TYPICAL white person believes, feels, thinks etc" when refering to ourdelves in blog entries.
It will keep the joke going and in the for front of readers.
So for now this TYPICAL white person is going to go think up some more TYPICALISMS.

Who would ever guess that "typical" could become a stereotype? I think we are all individuals within groups whether it be race, religion, choice of music, favorite food, you get the picture. I resent the implication deeply that because I am white that I am consequently baised or racist. I DO KNOW THIS: Pastor Wright spews racism, distrust, hate and suspicion and WHY he feels that way is not the issue. Simply put, whatever the cause, racism has no place in a free society. I am not a person of color so maybe I just don't "get" it but I am a woman and know the challenges I have faced all my life in a male dominated society. It is true that I have never felt the sting of the "N" word but I have heard the "B" word & the "C" word a time or two and although I found it unpleasant, it did not define my entire being. Really, I just think that the Obama campaign is digging a deeper and deeper hole for their candidate and really needs no help from us.

Typical white person? I consider that statement racist and proof that Obama compartmentalizes the races.
It also shows that unless he has a speech, he can put his foot in his mouth pretty easily (not presidential qualities I personally want).
What if Hillary had said "typical black person"? She'd be tarred and feathered and run out of town as a racist!
When will the pundits and the Obama supporters wake up? I wonder if they truly love their country or are just plain stupid. I think this country is in grave danger when we have such a sheeple rather than discerning electorate.
I personally am doing everything I can to stop Obama and get Hillary the nomination. I'm sure everyone here is doing the same.

I had no idea that I was typical! My mother always told me that I was a unique individualized expression of god. He told the story wrong for effect in his speech about his granny. In his book "Dreams of My Father" (got this info from a blog) he tells about his granny waiting on a corner for a bus, when she was approached by a black homeless person who threatened her verbally, and was saved from harm by the bus pulling up just in time. Doesn't sound to me as though granny didn't have a reason for name calling. What woman wouldn't be scared. What if it was a black woman accosted by a white man and after her escape muttered something about that "white SOB" I guess she would be called a racist too.:(:(

This is so racist, "fearful of black men". I as a white woman am also fearful of white men, and rightously so. Women are raped every day in America. I am fearful of any man I see as a potential threat. This is so bias a thing to say. Walk a mile in my shoes Mr. Obama, he hasn't a clue about womens fears. :mad:

:)I would like to state that if I (a white person) was walking down the street and saw Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (half black, half Samoan) or Vin Diesel (half black, half Italian,?smidge of Native American) I would not be fearful at all ! :) ;)

You all have to understand something about CNN and MSNBC..they are pro Obama because they feel like they have to, in order to keep on getting ratings from the black community. They also have been very anti clinton administration for many years so this is no surprise, if you want to see fair broadcasting watch Fox News, yes they are a very pro republican network and pro McCain but I don't mind cause I like McCain..and I must also confess that I am a typical white woman as well..I am doing well..just chillin after a long day at work..glad to be home :D:D

We heard from John Loser Kerry. I believe his inane comment's been YouTubed. He said Nobama was exactly the person to inspire moderate Muslims to dialogue with the radical fundamentalist branch of Muslims. The reporter asked Kerry what he thought qualified Hobama to bring about this change, and Kerry said......"BECAUSE HE'S BLACK." WTF! You should hear the tone of the reporter when he repeated Kerry's answer.

He shot his own foot off when he made the supposed great speech and then he shot the other foot off today. He's dragging his own self down. I just have to laugh about it. It all will just keep pouring out on him. This is the best time to keep all the positive aspects of Hillary in the eye of every voter. Hillary has class and now it's her time to shine. So lets all get to work writing our senators, super delegates, the media, friends and family. The more that comes out about bo just make our letters that much more convincing and a wee bit longer!

"The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."
Hmm, a "typical" white person. Really nice stereotyping there, BO!:rolleyes:
I have to say this if "typical white person" is not what he really meant to say then I suggest that he and Mrs. BO very quickly enroll in public speaking classes or some other type of class. Is this a disease with these people -- oh that's not what we meant to say. That excuse isn't going to keep working. For someone who is acclaimed as such a great orator - he sure keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Maybe this is why he needs days to write a prepared speech because he can't think on his feet.:rolleyes:

Annie Lennox/ Eurythmics tune. They didn't play the lyrics, just the rockin' intro. But the words go:
would I lie to you
would I lie to you honey
now, would i say something that wasn't true
I'm asking you baby, would I lie to you
It could be that the suppression of negative Obama feelings is weighing on the people over at CNN, and it is starting to leak through in subconcious impulses like playing-- at least-- the beginning of the tune.
Or, it could be that there's a subversive Hillary techie out there...:)

I know that he is a good speaker, but seriously... A good speaker with an angry hatred heart who can lie with a straight face is what we have here.
I originally dislike the fact that he put down the Clintons so much, even though we all know that the Clintons had done quite well for the people. I was even angry :mad:that he try to diminish all the accomplishments we had during the Clinton years. And, now I feel that he also trying to get into the white house to condemn all of us as well.... Now, I just feel horribly sucks....:(

If the typical part was not bad enough! Did I hear him right and did he say....we were "bred" to be this way? Holy crap! I know I'm getting old but does anyone remember a guy that went by the name of "Jimmy the Greek"? He was on television as a professional sports personality. He would give analysis and odds of winning when two teams were to face off. This man lost his entire career when he made off the record remarks about why he felt blacks excelled in sports and attributed it to "breeding" practices by slave owners. This happened in 1988, the man was fired from CBS, and despite his public apology he was sent packing, labeled as a racist. His statements certainly were insensitive but to me do not sound much different from what I am hearing from Obama himself at this point. Am I to believe that it is "OK" that this man lost his career by stating blacks were bred to be superior athletes, yet twenty years later a presidential candidate can get up on television and state that whites were bred to be "fearful"? Hum.........what’s wrong with this picture?

You know what makes me really sad? Is how SELFISH he is! He won't just say "You know, this is enough, people are upset and whether it's my fault or not, it's surrounding me. This isn't good for this country and I am sorry, I am stepping aside so we can move on" That would be the noble and admirable thing to do. And I'm not just saying that as a Hillary supporter. He's going down and he's taking the country and the Democratic party with him because he knows Hillary can't catch him in delegates in the rest of the race. It's not fair and frankly, it shows he doesn't give two craps about this country.
I have been doing local Dem political things and I've had to sit with this 50 year old, white, Jewish, die hard Obama supporter who makes me want to smack him upside the head. He was making excuses for Obama all day on Tuesday and asked the Obama rep what to tell his friends about all the propaganda. I wanted to puke. He said he was a lifelong Republican who switched parties in January (most likely caught up in the wave of Obama). He always carries this water bottle filled with what looks like milk or iced coffee. I've had to bite my tongue but I'm tempted to ask if it's Kool Aid with cream in it.:rolleyes:

I'm sure the media will say that what Obama is saying is just proving that we typical white people are racist.
I have never been racist, and I am getting more and more offended by Obama's comments. This is unreal! I'm starting to think that "someone" is paying the media off -like Huffington- to do nothing but love Obama.
I had a "To Kill a Mockingbird" childhood in a small Southern town, but my WHITE parents didn't teach me to hate, and I remember everything about the racism that was prevalent in the South. I wonder who's a "typical white person" is? The racists, or me, the kid who dragged my very Southern mother to see a movie called "King" in the aftermath of the murder of Martin Luther King? Is it the people who never took a class in college in the 70's from a professor of color, or is it ME, the girl who was constantly harassed in my Black Literature class at the University of Delaware, but who still went on to study Black Women Writers in her Senior year with the same black, female, feminist professor (HI, Dr. Hull, wherever you are!!!).

Honestly, I don't think it really matters all that much where you're from (I'm not saying it doesn't). I come from a middle class, suburban, diverse portion of South Jersey, right outside Philadelphia. And we have a very significant Jewish community and yet I dealt with a LOT of Anti Semitism in high school, even my life was threatened. People hate everywhere, unfortnately.

In the 70s my parents made us kids sit down and watch the entire ROOTS series. It was uncomfortable-but we learned about our country's history...the painful & shameful part. Thanks, Mom&Dad, for showing me the good and bad... and inspiring me to confront racism the moment I feel it!
How typical is that ?

Well, I was typically trying to find any news on the "news networks" that was actually news and not pabulum. When something atypical happened. On CNN, they were showing clips of Obama to music. The tune? Why it was a
Annie Lennox/ Eurythmics tune. They didn't play the lyrics, just the rockin' intro. But the words go:
would I lie to you
would I lie to you honey
now, would i say something that wasn't true
I'm asking you baby, would I lie to you
It could be that the suppression of negative Obama feelings is weighing on the people over at CNN, and it is starting to leak through in subconcious impulses like playing-- at least-- the beginning of the tune.
Or, it could be that there's a subversive Hillary techie out there...:)
If they're attempting to use sublime messaging...well, that might explain the number of kool-aid people out there.
I find it extremely racist that he used the word "bred"...I MEAN SERIOUSLY. BRED?!!
I don't know about the rest of you since I won't presume to think my thoughts are TYPICAL, but I avoid/fear anyone who looks angry/crazy. Be it tattooed chinese/vietnamese/japanese or bikie style big bearded white or hoodstyle black.
I don't call this racist. I call this prudent. These people, regardless of race are crazy. Period. Any sane person would avoid them and I doubt it's anything to do with breeding.

You know what makes me really sad? Is how SELFISH he is! He won't just say "You know, this is enough, people are upset and whether it's my fault or not, it's surrounding me. This isn't good for this country and I am sorry, I am stepping aside so we can move on" That would be the noble and admirable thing to do. And I'm not just saying that as a Hillary supporter. He's going down and he's taking the country and the Democratic party with him because he knows Hillary can't catch him in delegates in the rest of the race. It's not fair and frankly, it shows he doesn't give two craps about this country.

Next time you see him just tell him he ia such a TYPICAL White Person and leave.

This reminds me of one of my least favorite moments from when I was living in Dallas. It was 1992; I had Clinton stickers on my car, as well as animal rights stickers. I pulled into a nursery to buy some plants, and ended up in a shouting match with the owner of the place--he said (and I'm paraphrasing--it has been 15-1/2 years!), "I see your stickers! We don't want YOUR KIND of people here!" So I left. On my way home all I could think about was what did the moron mean, "YOUR KIND" of people? Professionals with high paying jobs? Tax payers? Law abiding citizens? Married people? Parents? People who do volunteer work? People who are ethical consumers and care about animals? What?! :confused: (Of course the idiot was your TYPICAL right-wing, redneck, Republican in Texas...the kind who left nasty notes on my windshield because they didn't like my anti-Bush stickers...)

You know the more i think about Obama's comment "a typical white person" the more it pisses me off! If i as a white guy made a statement with a typical black guy i would be thrown in jail for racist remarks. Before this came out, i just didn't like Obama's politics but now i just hate him. It's a shame someone can make me feel this way. I normally am able to get along with anyone!

We all wake up in the morning and say, "Oh, it is another day. What am I to do?" typical other people do the same.
Each is in this as human.

I'm off to sleep... have a big day ahead of me tomorrow- lots of HIV to make!;)It's hard to make, isn't it? I used to turn out boatloads of it so I could infect people and then counsel them when they came to the AIDS clinic I volunteered at. :eek: But, you know, they were just TYPICAL gay people with HIV. And I was a TYPICAL bleeding-heart liberal. :D

Yes!! LOLOL :D:D:D That was awesome! Yeah, maybe, just maybe, his grandma wasn't speaking as a white person, but as a woman.
As for the question, tomorrow this typical white woman will be doing what I typically do on a Friday, which is go to work. Obama is going to be speaking only about a mile from my office -- hope traffic isn't too screwed up.:(
HILL YEAH, BABY!!!! WELL SAID!!!:D:D
