Obama Thinks All White People Are Scared of Black People: How's That For Moving Beyond The Racial Divide?

Not much time to write today, but I couldn't let this slide: Barack Obama apparently thinks that all white people are scared of black people. In a Philly radio interview discussing his reference to his white grandmother in the "Philadelphia Speech," Obama stated:

“The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity — she doesn’t,” he said. “But she is a typical white person who, you know, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, there is a reaction. That has been bred into our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way.” (emphasis mine)

So, let me get this straight--the man who wants to lead us above the great racial divide thinks nothing of broadly stereotyping an entire class of people based only on their race. Swell.

HOW TO HOPELESSLY JAM YOUR INBOX: Set up a Google Alert for "typical white person" and watch the alerts roll in. This could be worse than the original problem with Jeremiah Wright that Obama has been desperately trying to talk his way out of for the past week.
