ETA: Huff Post seems to have an active audio link:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0...-_n_92587.html

It's hard to find an active clip of the audio, but this myDD page links to another blogger covering it.
I'm glad you found the other link because yeah, the blog from "bdog"... not exactly the news source you trust.

Hey, look, if you can listen to that entire clip (and yes, I'm sure that he in retrospect thought that if he'd had an edit button he'd have taken out the word "white" and either left it as "typical person" or even attribute it to her being from an older generation) and really only get out of it that he is therefore calling every white person "racist" and not getting what he's actually trying to address, then that's what you get to hear/believe. I get what he's saying. And I appreciate that he's not afraid to talk about these issues in a more frank manner than people are used to. But if you're not hearing that or getting that, then hey, that's your prism and your perspective and feel free to keep harping, then.
