Barack Hussein Obama, in his own words:

It contradicted the morality my mother had taught me, a morality of subtle distinctions–between individuals of goodwill and those who wished me ill, between active malice and ignorance or indifference. I had a personal stake in that moral framework; I’d discovered that I couldn’t escape it if I tried. And yet perhaps it was a framework that blacks in this country could no longer afford; perhaps it weakened black resolve, encouraged confusion within the ranks. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and for many blacks, times were chronically desperate. If nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence.
If nationalism could deliver. As it turned out, questions of effectiveness, and not sentiment, caused most of my quarrels with Rafiq. [Rafiq al-Shabazz, a “self-professed [Black] nationalist”]

IMPORTANT: ALL QUOTES ARE REFERENCED TO VERIFIABLE SOURCES. As an example, anyone who picks up "Dreams From My Father" can verify independently that Barack Obama really wrote these things. We do ourselves a disservice by circulating urban legends when what Obama has actually said will destroy his candidacy by November.

... they have become so far removed from these experiences ...

I believe that is another way of saying they are no longer mired in the past.

At least with Obama, we KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AND WHO HE IS. And we know the same about Hitlery, except she keeps it quiet. This has to be one of the ugliest Presidential elections in the history of America...

So the black equivalent to La Raza is We Be Black?
