Have you guys heard what Barack Obama has said about his grandmother being the "typical white person"?
Here's the quote that Obama made [please, please, PLEASE read this in its entirety]:
"Well, you know, she was extremely proud and the point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, you know, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way. And that's just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it and what makes me optimistic is you see each generation feeling a little bit less like that."
WHAT????? So the typical white person has reactions when seeing a black person? And that has been bred into us? What the heck? So because I'm a white person, I automatically have to not like black people? That's just retarded!
Please read Glenn Beck's [he's pretty much the best talk radio host ever] commentary on this subject (It's pretty entertaining, I think, but I wish you could have heard it.) here.
PLEASE COMMENT!!!

*sigh* It is crazziness. I just can't stand politics, and where the world is now. I try not to think about it because it just makes me mad (for lack of a better word). I definately agree with what glenn said. It just, ah, I dont know, I may just move to some remote island and start my own little village where I don't have to worry about the world's problems. I know that wont solve anything though.
I also agree that he is the best talk radio host ever :)
