I think you get my point that Obama is very condescending to poor and middle class whites. ; ) you are a bright lady who is well reasoned so I know you understand my point.
I think that if you go read his whole speech and then consider other things Obama has said. Blacks have scratched and clawed. His grandmother who raised a mixed child when it a social stigma was a racist. His grandmother is a typical white person. Small town Americans bitterly cling to religon and guns and are racist to people who do not look like them. If you look at the whole picture you get a much clearer picture of Obama, and that picture is one of either ignorance or hatred. When you add his careful selection of Wright to the mix you get a clearer picture of a racist and a slimy politician who will stop at nothing to get ahead.
Back when young Obama was being raised by his white grandparents there was a social stigma attached to what they did. Would the typical white person of the time have raised a mixed child and face head on the bigotry of the time?
