Oh look, a Goobie trap thread. Now isn't this different...
The Obama said the very same thing.Who isn't?
When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people."
"I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it."
The president's remarks were directed at the roots of all Americans. The definition of mongrel as an adjective is defined as "of mixed breed, nature, or origin," according to dictionary.com.
Obama did not appear to be making an inflammatory remark with his statement and the audience appeared to receive it in the light-hearted manner that often accompanies interviews on morning talk shows.
Blah blah blah.
Oh look, another Redress response that attacks the poster and ignores the topic. What a surprise.Oh look, a Goobie trap thread. Now isn't this different...
From the article. Just to demonstrate that Goobie's "trap" thread is, as all of them are, dishonest, taken out of context, or both:
Why is this a trap thread? Do you really need to know the political party of the person who said it to determine your answer?
Very difficult to put in words. Yes they are mixed. No more or less mixed than alot of white people. How, though, are they responsable for their culture when it is essentially an adoption of white, american culture. Complex issue, this mongrel word, he opened up a box of confusion.

There nothing dishonest about what I asked or in the posting of the thread.From the article. Just to demonstrate that Goobie's "trap" thread is, as all of them are, dishonest, taken out of context, or both:
So in other words, something that only sounds bad taken out of context...

Either the statement is worthwile or it is not -- who said it should make no diffrence.
Many people believe that the cradle of civilization is in Africa. I tend to believe that Adam and Eve were black, along with God. It's the non-Africans that are the mongrels and deviate to one degree or another.
This is an absolute lie. I was asked to better define the term, and I did; it was quite clear from my response that the term was used as intended by The Obama.You need to know context and what was said in it's entirety. You haven't been around long enough to know that Goobie will take one piece of a statement and make it THE statement, like he did here, and try to trap folks into saying something that, in context, is not what was meant.

The Obama clearly made the statement, and I did nothing to change the context in which He said it.
Imaging if Bush had said that, in ANY context.... (yeah I went there.) :lamo
I would have bet my last dollar that this was another Goobieman "trap" thread. I can tell them a mile away.
I would certainly think so. What's your point?Who said it is irrelevant.
I certainly did not. I put forth the statement and solicited opinions.But as you usually do, you didn't post the entire conversation and took the statement out of context.
Is -that- all you have o say on the matter?That's why your thread is dishonest.
None of that is relevant.Well, except for not including what he was talking about, or that he said every one, including whites where too. So you did not leave anything out, except the important context.
