This stuff is really sick: Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race". Dreams of my Father: "The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." Dreams of my Father: "Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning." 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" 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..". Dreams of My Father: "That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, blaming "white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives." ........ Dreams of my Father: "the reason black people keep to themselves is that it's easier than spending all your time mad, or trying to guess whatever it was that white folks were thinking about you." Dreams of my Father: One line in Malcolm X's autobiography "spoke" to Obama "it stayed with me," he says. "He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged." Did Obama change as he matured? The testimony that comes from his seeking out and staying with the Trinity church indicates no.
