And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolm's call, one line in the book stayed me. He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that tan through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged. - Obama [p.86, Dreams of my father]

Not having read Obama’s Mein Kampf, I’m wondering: Was Obama saying he agreed or disagreed with Malcolm X?

Thanks for posting that. I have a theory also - obviously Wright shares Obama’s mixed race. His skin is lighter than Obama’s. I believe that they are resentful of their mixed race heritage and have decided to take it out on their “white” half rather than the black one.
