Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) Do you think they just casually look at their own site now and then to check up on things, or do they monitor it often? That wasn't something that just got put up there and was removed the next day. it was up there for a while, they knew about it, and removed it about the time of his speech. Anyone here this from the messiah? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4s45v_ob...ite-person_news He utters the phrase 'typical white person'. Oh man, can you imagin if Hillary said something about the 'typical black person'? Oh boy. You're alleging that they police some 600,000 or so profiles manually every few days?

Are you the type of guy that would flip a s*** if you were a co-worker of mine and I said something about a "white guy" or a "white woman" and make a big deal out of my use of the word "white" and how I was being politically insensitive... or... the type of guy who wonders why the 10% of black students at a majority white school like to hang around each other, and speculate as to why they're being racist by refusing to associate with white people? Or any other number of silly-but-true hypotheticals I've observed. I'm really getting that impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wright thing is too juicy to leave along. and, well, the passport story reflects negatively on the Bush administration and they lack ability to be critical of this administration.

I didn't say you flipped out, I was trying to make a point... however, after seeing your replies it appears your focus wasn't on Obama saying "typical white guy" as much as it was on the double standard. Which, considering what I was actually trying to point out, I don't really disagree with. Yeah maybe my reading comprehension does suck, you have the same arguments across several different forums on the internet and they get crossed up in your head sometimes.
