STEREOTYPING OBAMA

Whether stereotyping is a valid method of making judgments, is not discussed here.  Discussed here is one, among many, of Obama’s lies.  This lie is about race.  Obama’s “more perfect union” speech proclaimed that race is not an issue this country can afford to ignore “right now.”  Yet, we see him avoid mentioning what exactly were the controversial statements, made by his pastor, that made him feel “uncomfortable.”  Apparently he can afford to ignore it, right now.

During a university town hall meeting on April 2, 2008, Obama proclaimed:

“I do not stereotype”

Since race is something that we cannot afford to ignore, i think this statement should be examined for its truthfulness, especially in light of his continual campaign slogan of “character.”  Let us examine Obama’s statement regarding his dear, albeit thrown under the bus, Grandma:

“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.” - Brack Obama, March 20, 2008 - AM610 WIP

 Stereotyping is defined as:

fixed impressions, exaggerated or preconceived ideas about particular social groups, usually based solely on physical appearance.

Poor Grandma, characterized based solely on her physical appearance, that being her white skin.  Did Obama apologize, no.  It’s painfully obvious that he lied, he does in fact stereotype.  But thats ok, because his supporters will tell you that it is somehow white grandma’s fault.  That anyone would consider such a lying, pandering politician for high office is beyond comprehension.
