I can see your points but let me attempt to mitigate some of them or at last have you think about the following.

I moved away from guilt by association in the fifties with the McCarthy hearings and since I knew that many of my dearest friends had communist leanings... I learned from them and it widened my scope on life. I did not divorce myself from them neither did I become political as they were.

I did not become Jewish although most of my life has been spent with Jews. From them I once said that I learned more than all of my college courses: Culturally and aesthetically.

What happened was the ability to see many sides of the octagon and accept that diversity only gives breath and depth to ones perceptions. Without the exposure that I have had from the junior league, DAR to working with all blacks in a center where I was the only white I grew and this is the one thing that Obama has. The varied back ground both Christian and Muslim. He has the influence of being both black and white.

Rather than hold these what I consider "growth gifts" as a detriment I hold them in some esteem. Can you see your way through to accepting this ?
