| Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Three Rivers Press A racist and racecard puller for president? really?? |
"I ceased to advertise my mothers race at the age of 12 or 13."-Obama writes, "Our rage at the white world needed no object...no independant confirmation; it could be switched on and off at our pleasure."
OBAMA sounds like A RACIST to me!
its a good thing for obama that "typical white people" dont read books; or this would of killed his chances long ago!
Is this the kind of stuff that MLK Jr would have said or did? No...he had every reason to be hateful towards "other races" that "oppressed" him; but he wasnt...he simply went out and created the change he wanted to see; he didnt blame anybody or go to a church that talked about hate and blame...what kind of god would that be that tought such things?
How come oprah left rev wrights church in less than two years....but obama has been there for over 20 yrs? |

| Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Three Rivers Press Product Description |
| In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. |
