Dzayson, Sports Guy was trying taking the side of B.O. -- that the comment was about generational differences between Grandma ('30's) and the Reverend ('60's).
"Confess" to what? I'll certainly "confess" to the fact that it is hilarious that these two blonde twits are summoning up their acting class experience when they act all AGHAST about Obama's comments about his own grandmother, when the very station that employs them shows the same black crime scene loop anytime they do any kind of "feature" on African Americans.
ANY feature, positive or negative about black folk - same loop.
I know, I know, I know. You used a black word: witness. It was cute. Obama said, "I 'confess' I did not know" (about the bad sermons). He used it like "declare" instead of "admit." I thought that was cute. Words are cute, so are handbags and paninis.
Well one thing they stated was true. There is a generational divide in this country all over and all around with all people. Rev. Wright is from the 60s (as I am) and he experienced things that Obama did not and so his speeches are almost cautionary and warnings. obama's grandmother grew up in the 30s and as a white person she experienced something different.
As a minority whenever I confront a white person who is 50ish, 60ish, 70ish, I automatically know what their experiences with blacks (and women) were and they normally prove to be "tolerating" of minorities because they have to. But if they had their druthers they wouldn't work around us or socialize with us. But business is business now and they have to socialize with us. And the men still have a condescending attitude towards women.
One day we'll discover that Fox News is actually part of The Truman Show. I can't find any other decent explanation to those imbeciles getting a TV show, which people actually watch and more often than not - Loves what they see. Horrific.
I am talking with you. Barack Obama's only sin was not knowing, which he has confessed to.
Without Grandma, there's no Rev. Wright to teach Barack how God moves through him in everyday life. (I prefer no God, because he's been out to lunch working for George Bush.)
God made a comeback today though, working through "Typical Sports Guy," and making him walk off the set. There's my witness. Amen.

If you combined the IQs of those three, would they reach triple digits?

Anyone at FOX being "shocked" by racial generalizations is hilarious. And shameless. and beyond parody.

I don't really get why the one dude walked off set. The blondie is pretty easy on the eyes, but not the ears.

I was VERY surprised to see Chris Wallace of all people calling these three talking heads out today as well.
Wallace: "Two hours of Obama bashing on this, this 'typical white person' remark is somewhat excessive."
It looks like some at Fox News are getting sick of their own dog food.

My respect for "typical sports guy" just went up, even if he's wearing more makeup than me.

You can get a *witness* as long as you *confess* you did not know.

You know, fair and balanced.
I'll confess to that.
So I guess I get a witness.

I'm a black guy, T. Holly, so "witness" is a word I hear all the time in my church.
Paninis ARE cute. Not so delish, though. Maybe I haven't had a good one.

I must confess, T. Holly I have no idea what you are talking about, but if YOU figure it out, THAT is what makes your screenplays NOT work.
