Obama unleashes "Operation Where De White Wimmen At" Thursday
US President Barack Obama stepped into the race discussion Thursday when he called African-Americans “a sort of mongrel people” on morning chat-show The View.
Obama was asked about the recent controversy over racial remarks made by USDA official Shirley Sherrod, which got him talking about his own bi-racial background.
Then, Obama said about African-Americans in general, “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.”

If a Republican said that, it would be the end of his career.
Get educated – mongrel refers to mixed ancestry
Another Fake controversy…it's clear what he meant.
So do we put "mongrel" down on forms when asked what race or ethnic group we belong to. Or do we crty, "I am not an animal," as "The Elephant Man: did, but instead say, "I am not a mongrel"? Or do we all join in and shout, "Mongrels for Obama?""
Have a white president say that, esp. a Republican, and there will be hell to pay.
Do the conservatives arguing ad speculum about the theoretical outrage if a conservative had said this disagree that blacks are indeed of a diverse heritage?
So do we put “mongrel” down on forms when asked what race or ethnic group we belong to. Or do we change”The Elephant Man’s”, “I am not an animal,” statement to, “I am not a mongrel”? Or do we all join in and shout, “Mongrels for Obama?”"
There’s also a dictionary definition for “niggardly”, but we don’t use the term because of how it could be received by the audience.
I guess I learned to play to the audience when I had to go to HR for saying it was “asinine” to build a system that won’t display all the results. That is asinine, but a someone just sounded it out and assumed it meant I was calling them a butt or something.
Mongrel refers to a mix breed dog and has been a pejorative when describing people in this culture for generations. All of these people coming out of the woodwork trying to act like “mongrel” is and has been a common and acceptable moniker for any group of people is outrageous, disingenuous and LAUGHABLE all at the same time.
c’mon, Obama is talking about himself as a mongrel. He’s said this before, when the family was getting a dog. He said he wanted a “mongrel like him”.
Why the fuck was Whoopie there?

"I guess we can start using the term ‘nigger’ again since it’s Latin for black, right?"
An etymological fallacy holds, erroneously, that the original or historical meaning of a word or phrase is necessarily similar to its actual present-day meaning.
"I’m sure everyone will take words literally now that the HNIC used a word that could be considered a “slur”. "
And as if your argument wasn't fallacious enough, nice equivocation between the connotations of slurs like "nigger" and adjectives used in proper context like "mongrel".
I guess no one was offended but you…oh wait… you're not offended either. You're just trying to manufacture a controversy.
Idiot.

Where’s the NAACP smudging up the White House with their fists of outrage?
Where’s the droves of imbeciles with thin skin to defend the mongrels of the world?
Aren’t mongrels equal?
Revolution!
Idiots.
@JEFF T…..hands down that was one of the most eloquent argument on the message board……too bad it fails because its so full of lame excuses and chickensh!t logic
But please do carry on.
Thank you Jeff for showing how difficult it is to defend a double standard.
You did a fantastic job.
Well,. the Klan did endorse Obama in 2008.

I watched very little of that show friday morning. I could not take too much of those ass-kissing leftist idiots. I believe that this guy has spent more time on talk shows than doing anything else. If he wants to be the president than my advice to him would be get off of the talk shows and start serving the people of the United States.
Obama sees Blacks as Mongrels and that is understandable when you take his childhood political training into account. Marxism sees the commoner as a working class mongrels.
Hitler viewed the United States as a Mongrel State.
Racist foulmouths like Hal Turner and worse would cheer and jump for joy in complete agreement with that statement. with things like diversity being encouraged does that surprise you?
@waalter:
You understand that Hal Turner was paid by the U.S. government to say those things, right?

“Obama said. “That’s actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it.”
This man assumes that whites DO NOT know about their own mixed nationalities, once again he is misinformed. I grew up knowing my nationalities, he is correct we are ALL mutts.
