So, why does he hate the world so?

Inner conflict. His personal demons eat at his insides.

He feels entitled to respect yet at his core knows that he has done nothing to deserve it, that all of his accomplishments were facilitated by others and built on lies. He hates the part of him that is white but is cut off from being "authentically black."

He is an abandoned child living in the body of the most powerful person in the world.

Close, I'm reading the Obama Confession. The author says it has to do with his childhood. Being abandoned by dear old dad. Kinda funny how he named his book, Dreams Of My Father when his mother took care of him from day one. I also have a copy of this I picked up off the street but can't seem to put my hands on it at the moment.
