From Dreams of My Father:
'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
'There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white..
'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY, and most scary!
From Audacity of Hope:
'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so!
We CANNOT have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation!
We need to vote in November and change the leadership in the House so we can stop him now and then vote HIM OUT in 2012
Be very Concerned, these are his words straight from his books!
