Barack Obama’s website takes issue with the Fox and Friends morning show and the fact that they spent a great deal of time discussing the use of the phrase “typical white person” which Obama used to describe his grandmother. Chris Wallace was on air to promote his Sunday show and took the time to say he disagreed with the attention that Fox and Friends had shown with regard to this one item. The campaign wrote on its site:
We appreciate Chris Wallace for doing his job as a tough but fair journalist on a network that has been deeply irresponsible over the last week in its unrelenting and sensationalistic coverage of Senator Obama.
Senator Obama gave the speech he did on Tuesday because he believes that Americans are ready for a thoughtful, mature discussion about race, and are hungry to move past media-generated controversies that distract from the struggles they face in their everyday lives.
If Fox News wants to play clips of the same offensive sound bites every day from now until November, that’s their right, but that type of coverage does a disservice to their viewers and to a nation that is facing serious challenges that merit thoughtful and honest reporting.
As I stated before, Obama has a lot of issues with Fox News but when the story about Pastor Wright was in full swing Obama went on Fox to discuss the issue. He knows that he will need white voters to win the general election and some of them will have to be conservatives, the audience that Fox has. So Obama had no problem with using Fox to his advantage. Now that the network airs Obama’s statements and discusses them, he again has issues with the network.
There is nothing wrong with discussing what Obama said. He made a racist remark about white people whether he intended to or not. Many white people have lost jobs and careers because of a statement that was not intended to be racist but was perceived that way. Race hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton see to it that the black sensitivities are known to all even when they are promoting lies to advance their agendas.
Suppose for a moment if someone had asked Hillary Clinton what she thought about Pastor Wright’s statements and she replied with; “well, he is a typical black guy so he is going to feel that way.”
Anyone who thinks that a statement like that would go unchallenged is living in a fantasy world. The race baiters would be screaming bloody murder and demanding that Hillary apologize and abandon her presidential aspirations. Obama makes a racist statement, intended or not, and then cries foul when he is taken to task for it. To Obama this is a media generated controversy. The media did not tell Wright what to say and the media did not make a typical white (or black) remark. Wright and Obama are the ones who are solely responsible for the statements and the controversy associated with them. Obama can try to deflect the blame but the blame for what he said rests on his shoulders.

As for the speech he made that the campaign reports was; “because he believes that Americans are ready for a thoughtful, mature discussion about race, and are hungry to move past media-generated controversies that distract from the struggles they face in their everyday lives. ” What I heard in that speech was that there is a problem in black America that is caused by white America and the way to alleviate it is for white America to shell out money to help black America. Pat Buchanan also heard this as evidenced by his well written piece entitled A Brief for Whitey. In it, Buchanan states:
The “white community,” said Barack, must start “acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination — and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past — are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds … .”
And what deeds must we perform to heal ourselves and our country?
The “white community” must invest more money in black schools and communities, enforce civil rights laws, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system and provide this generation of blacks with “ladders of opportunity” that were “unavailable” to Barack’s and the Rev. Wright’s generations.
What is wrong with Barack’s prognosis and Barack’s cure?
Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, “everybody but the rioters themselves.”
Was “white racism” really responsible for those black men looting auto dealerships and liquor stories, and burning down their own communities, as Otto Kerner said — that liberal icon until the feds put him away for bribery.
Buchanan also says that if Obama wants a dialog it needs to be a two way street. He also points out that white America is not responsible for the problems facing the black community after 40 years and 40 trillion dollars (spent by white America).
Buchanan describes a number of programs and organizations that have helped blacks along the way and then discusses the problems blacks face:
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?
Barack talks about new “ladders of opportunity” for blacks.
Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for “deserving” white kids.
Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Pat Buchanan has it right. Obama and his campaign might want to deflect their problems by blaming Fox News (other organizations have run the clips of Wright as well) but in reality, the black community has been its own downfall all at the hands of liberals who believe blacks are not able to take care of themselves so programs must be instituted to help them.
The campaign can try to play this any way it wants but the reality is Obama attended that church for 20 years and he listened to the racist rantings of his pastor for all that time. He has associated himself with race hustlers like Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan and others and he has done little to address those racists. Obama has been exposed as nothing more than another politician who will say anything to get elected and he has demonstrated that he is part of the problem in the black community, not part of the solution.
He is not fit to be president but it looks like he will be the nominee. If that is the case there will be no worries about injecting race into the race because Obama has done that quite well. He and his peeps have stirred the pot and angered a lot of white folks who all candidates will need in order to be elected. This is the only reason Obama is addressing the race issue. He is worried about losing the white vote.

//To Obama this is a media generated controversy.// Exactly, BD — and he’s not the only one to live in a state of denial for issues that he alone created. If anything, the media (except us) are giving Obama a pass.
Thinking about it, Obama may be the first president ever elected by the Press.

The ‘Typical Black Man’.
The ‘typical black man’, in my experiences, is a hard-working, Church-going, God-fearing, fun-loving, family-centered, gracious man. Those are the men I have known. I could not, nor would I, try to define the behavior and thoughts of a whole race. Neither should anyone else try to define anyone by their race. Here in my side of reality, we call that prejudiced …
Obama is your Typical Black person a Liar as he did on fox news then 2 days later changed the story and said he was at the church. You see we can show and tell all about a black person and nothing is said or done compared to a white or any other race for that matter. They can call us Crackers, whitey, Rich Whitey, or your typical white person but no outrage.
You have the so Called Civil rights groups like NAACP, BLACK PANTHERS etc…These single race groups are breeding grounds for racism as it clearly shows. How come the President for the black panthers can and has said racist comments about whites and is free to? Why is that? Then last year some Dr. or Rev. was on CNN saying we need to terminate all the whites from the earth. What’s up with that? It is all BS.
