lol Double, double standard here. Are you so blind? Whether a white man would be condemned for saying something along those lines is irrelevant.
1. He didn't actually say anything racist.
2. He IS being condemned for those things. By Republicans, Hillary's camp, some voters, oh, and by you.
3. It's not a person's fault, politician or otherwise, if others, ie; the press, choose to take something out of context or glamorize a certain subject when one type of person says it and not another. No, it's not ok, for example, I could attend Mexican-American club in HS but no way would have it been acceptable for a White club.
Ok, dammit, I got distracted by phone calls ect halfway through that last paragraph and loss my train of thought. lol
Anyway, it's all a matter of perspective. The broader your "education", ie; schooling, family upbringing, locations and most important, open-minded experience, the broader your perspective. Also, if you look for the bad in everything, you can misunderstand and/or misconstrue anything heard, viewed, or written.
I'm not necessarily saying that Obama is a gift to our political system, nor am I saying he's a Muslim terrorist extremist, time traveling Nazi, either. I'm saying keep an open mind and quit being so single dimensional in your thinking and viewing of the world. At least, that's part of what I was trying to say before Brian took off with my "train."
