Dreams of My Father and Audacity of Hope:
Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the
shelf
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 FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political
winds shift in an ugly direction.'
We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!!
I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn
ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread
the word
