“But Obama is black, well, sort of...”

Obama is pissed at his white mother for sending him away. He has transferred his anger at his mother towards the whole white race.

Obama would write in “Dreams...,” - “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From his early teens onward, Obama desperately wants to be black. In “Dreams,” he writes, “I was trying to raise myself to be a black man in America, and beyond the given of my appearance, no one around me seemed to know exactly what that meant.” Honolulu’s paucity of African-Americans means he has to learn to be black from the media: “TV, movies, the radio; those were places to start. Pop culture was color-coded, after all, an arcade of images from which you could cop a walk, a talk, a step, a style.”

“...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...”

Obama even describes his grandparents, the people who would raise and nourish him, as “white folk.”

Yeah but he went out of his way to ingratiate himself to those marxist “white folk” by becoming a good little commie, didn’t he?
