"We Need More White People"
April 09, 2008 8:47 AM
At a Michelle Obama event, reporters from the Carnegie-Mellon University student newspaper "observed one event coordinator say to another, 'Get me more white people, we need more white people.' To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, 'We're moving you, sorry. It's going to look so pretty, though.'
"'I didn't know they would say, "We need a white person here,"' said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. 'I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn't know it would be so outright.'"
unbelievable

Oh, yes, we need a little Whitey.
Right this very minute.
Blondie's all around us,
Flashing their blue eyes, oh, yes we....
Yes, I'd like to place an order for a large peperoni pizza, and some cheese bread sticks... and can you throw in two or three white people? Thanks.

Posted: 4/9/08 at 9:46amDo you think that having people change seats is what they mean by "Change"?

Posted: 4/9/08 at 11:15amYou guys are also detracting from Obama's message. We now return to you to fifteen thousand different expressions using the word "hope."

and the 16 thousand using the word "change".
Btw, this link is hysterical.
Spare some change?

Posted: 4/9/08 at 10:46pmI like how South Fl Marc makes it seem like the quote is attributed to Michelle Obama in the topic. Nothing like a healthy dose of truthiness all around though!

"I'm sure thet all the candidates do crap like that......"
Yes, all candidates do it, but not in a way that everyone knows about it. I don't object to what was done but the incompetent way that they did it. If this is the kind of staff that we can expect from an Obama presidency, then we are really screwed.
#19mishy bamster 'we need more white people here - devils that they is.'
Posted: 4/10/08 at 8:16amYou mean you'd rather a staff that was better at being sneaky? I think I know of one.
#20mishy bamster 'we need more white people here - devils that they is.'
Posted: 4/10/08 at 8:20amNo, I mean a staff thats good at being discrete and tactful and not obvious in showing off their incompetency.
#21mishy bamster 'we need more white people here - devils that they is.'
Posted: 4/10/08 at 8:28amSneaky, discrete. Tomato, tomahto. Don't we already have enough politicians trying to be discrete and 'not obvious' about their incompetence? Seems to me that the tendency to be open and not constantly trying to hide what they're doing would be a new and positive quality in a presidential staff. Oh wait, this person won't actually even be on his presidential staff anyway, because she's just an volunteer usher for his campaign. But you see my point.
#22mishy bamster 'we need more white people here - devils that they is.'
Posted: 4/10/08 at 8:37amIt's not a matter of being sneaky or discrete. It's a matter of having the sense to not say such stupid and potentially offensive things so carelessly.
#23mishy bamster 'we need more white people here - devils that they is.'
Posted: 4/10/08 at 8:44amAnd they weren't said by a volunteer usher - they were said by Michelle Obama's advance team. Imagine how the press would have been all over this if it had been done by the Clintons staff.

So if you don't think this coordinator has good sense, don't vote for her.
First, do you really believe someone actually said, 'We're moving you, sorry. It's going to look so pretty, though.' Who talks like that?
And secondly, do you folks really base your opinion of the competency of a potential leader of the free world on something some volunteer minion supposedly said? What does one thing possibly have to do with the other? I bet Obama's never even heard of this person. He has thousands of volunteers working on his campaign. You can't possibly equate his judgment or competency with that of some nit wit volunteer. Have you ever participated in a political event? They're filled with weirdos, no matter who or what the cause is.
