If this came out of just about any other person it would be pretty offensive.
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.
Talk about a rush to the dictionary to cover Obama's ass. The only people that I have ever heard that referred to blacks as "mongrel people" were White Supremacists. I guess he meant something like a melting pot or and myriad of different origins or something similar. Whenever he goes "off prompter" he seems to stumble into these messes. The idea of the President of the United States being on some frivolous gab fest like The View is another story entirely.
