Is he Street?

Rightfully assessing the usurper for the common trash that he is has nothing to do with race, or for that matter with women showing emotion. He is an evil man with a seared conscience who is a traitor and as arrogant as they come. He is just a common thug. I cannot imagine how anyone could think he is "bright" or well-spoken, as he is not, to say the very least. He's just a criminal lowlife and an immoral deceiver.

I don't think this was racial...but it was street talk. Since when does the President (who says to stop pointing fingers/blaming others) talk about kicking a**. I don't know that many black men, but I've seen them get angry. It looks like anger...black or white. Women still get the "she's too emotional"...that hasn't changed.

The term "street" doesn't refer just to blacks, it refers to urban culture, being street-wise, well-versed in the culture and way of life in urban settings. It may also refer to a particular income class, but to all races belonging to that class. In some cases it might be used to refer to blacks, but not exclusively. I think Obama showing his "street cred" happens frequently. He changes his tone to try to sound credible with certain groups. I think he fails utterly, he sounds very phony when he does it. To me, that is more insulting to the target group than anyone accusing Obama of being "street" by using the A word.

Like some others have said, street talk is tough talk and not confined to one race or culture. Women can be just as "street" as men can be so it's not confined to gender either.

I don't know about street talk, but after watching the video, I thought his threat was underwhelming.

My teacher used to refer to cursing as "street talk." Whenever my friends and I used to argue (playfully, of course), we'd say, "Take it to the streets!" meaning, I guess, just some vulgar crap lol I have never, ever, ever in my entire lifetime associated "street" with black people. Maybe homeless people if I heard/read it in the right context. But never black people. Now, if it would have said "Obama goes ghetto," then even I woulda been, "WHOA! That's friggin' racist!" But "street"? It's just obvious to a lot of people at this point, regardless of where they stand, that the folks claiming to be over race and that Obama's race doesn't/shouldn't matter are the ones using his race at every little stop in the road. And I certainly could be wrong, but I think they want racism. They need it. Racism is self explanitory if it's true - racists obstruct the progress and smear without cause, etc. And not to mention that guys who aren't usually heard of get a spotlight put on them when they claim something's racist. Drudge is already well recognized. The guy claiming "street" is racism is rarely heard from outside of his pad crew circle of likeminded elitists giving each other props for the last set of props given. And that guy who wrote the whole "don't let the black out" piece or w/e the hell it was is just another in a long line of black individuals who have been convinced by somebody somewhere that America is a horrifically racist country and that blacks cannot succeed. Ironic, of course, that he's actually a well-paid professional enjoying the perks of American media, and not to even mention that Obama is PRESIDENT. What can ya do? Some folks just aren't happy unless they're not happy. If there's no negative spin, if there's no evil white conspiracy--the man!--to hold minorities down, they have nothing to talk about. I personally find it to be funny, but many people hear this guy's opinion that "street" is racist and the other guy's opinion that Obama can't be seen as hostile, and they become convinced white opposition is racist. And that's exactly what they're hoping for when writing and saying these things.

I'd love to know what you mean by street. Wouldn't any president or politician be called that name by any race? And would Obama still be called that if he wasn't in politics?

I'm not a Obama fan but why would anyone think him saying he wanted to Kick A__ is no big deal......You kow he's not going to do it maybe he'll get a bunch of money for his own pocket........But that being racist no it's not......

i think he's getting a lot of heat from everyone and got a little po'd, im so tired of all this racist crap. what would they say if hillary was president ? she was pms-ing ? matt drudge knows how to stir things up to sell his dribble.
