Reply #76: I don't know whether this woman is a racist or not. [View All]

She sounds like kind of a busybody at any rate - yelling at neighbor kids for climbing a tree not even on her property, especially when the parents were right there. I'd be pretty angry if those were my kids, and I can well believe the children were frightened. As for the "monkeys" comment, many people use that term for boisterous children in an affectionate way, with no racist intent. I guess you'd have to know this woman personally to have a better idea of whether she meant it in a racist way or not, but I certainly don't blame the neighbors for being offended. I don't think that any of this is reflective of Obama. However, I have to wonder whether most Obama supporters on here would be as reasonable if this woman were supporting my candidate. I can easily imagine many remarks about us "racist" Hillary supporters.
