PUBLISHED 2006
The Audacity of Hope (title inspired from his anti-American racist mentor Wright)

Obama: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
Obama's "Dreams From My Father"
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,"
"I found solace in a sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race,"
"The other race (White) would always remain just that: Menacing, Alien and Apart,"
"It was into my father's image, the Black man, the son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself,"
"That hate hadn't gone away, blaming white people," Some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."
"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, To show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out, and name names"<> "I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races."
"The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."
