“There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

This is a quote from Dreams from My Father. It it in a section in which Obama describes a job interview with a man in Chicago.

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.”
