I think this is the perfect place to put some quotes from the Muslims books..”Dreams From My Father”and “The Audacity Of Hope”.
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 her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, 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, and most scary!
From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
If you have never forwarded an anything, now is the time to do so!
We CANNOT have someone with this mentality trying to run our GREAT nation!
These are his words straight from his books!
Good points to remember. So much “it’s all about race.”
To pick a nit: The book is called Dreams FROM my Father. (Frankly OF might be a better word, but “From” it is.)
Those statements should be publicized everywhere. Interesting that Juan McCain never made use of them during the campaign.
