What did Obama mean?

What was the "context" of Obamas statments "white folks greed runs a world in need" and when he stated that his Grandmothers racism was "typical of white people"?


Were these racist statments or were they not. And If they were not what was the actual meaning of these statments and what was thier "Context".


I only bring this up because of several left wing posters in another thread accusing me of taking him out of context and refusing to define what context I was taking them out of.

Can any one explain this to me?


Thanks!

You're right. He's secretly a black nationalist. I'm not supposed to talk about this openly until all white people are already on the trains heading to the concentration camps, but Obama plans to exterminate the white race and throw open America's borders to African immigration, so that our country is majority-black. Just as Allah wants.

Re: What did Obama mean?

and yet if some white guy is president elect or running for president, and he makes a crack about 'those lazy niggars in the ghetto,' the context would not matter?

The bottom of the economic chain had to lay somewhere. Unfortunately when our economy was at our peak the top of the economy chain either, didn't care enough, or was out of touch with the despairities of the bottom.
When our economy was at the peak it would have been a perfect time to show a little appreciation to the country in terms of some way helping to "kickstart" the slums of the big cities. Many ways this could have been done. I would almost have to start another forum to cover this.

Re: What did Obama mean?

8 hours later and not one coherent response.....


I am not suprised.


I will reference this thread the next time one of you all claim I am taking him out of context,


Thanks!

Re: What did Obama mean?

This is a simple question.



I fully expect no one from this point foward since no one can answer this question to say I am taking him out of context.


Thanks!
