Obama calls black people "mongrel people"

Quote
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.

I wonder how it would have been 'received' if it had been any other president that had said that?

I will also add that by definition it is a racist comment, and any white person would be run out of town....

If Bush would've said this it would be the lead story on every news channel, breaking news cutting into primetime programming and everyone from Oprah to Rev. Al would be calling for him to resign. Reverse racism is just as bad as "regular" racism. I don't know why the media doesn't see this.
