Quote from 'bam

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.'



From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'



From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'



From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'



From Dreams of My Father: '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



From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
