It’s especially ironic since Obama grew up as a child of privilege, sent to a special private school by the white grandparents he hates, got an affirmative action slot at Harvard, and was made head of the Law Review although he never wrote a damned thing for it.
A lot of blacks do have a hard time. And so do a lot of poor whites. But Obama has no claim to be in their number.
He never suffered from slavery—although his ancestors in Kenya were Arab slavers who made their living selling blacks. He never suffered from hunger or want. He never suffered from segregation.
He was a child of privilege who was given a silver spoon that he never earned. He didn’t even have to run for office the first time, because the Daley mob used crooked judges to throw out all his opponents.
I just got a thot, maybe Obama’s attraction to radicalism (which is basically, a rejection of and hatred for authority, i.e., “the man”), has a deeper pychological aspect to it, in the abandonment by his father when he was a child.
