“”In the way of background, both grew up in comfortable white households and have struggled to find an identity as righteous black men ever since.””

Wikipedia doesn’t speak to this....I wonder. Don’t know why it makes a difference but perhaps another reason Obama latched on to him as I believe he did.

Ooops, left off part of my post. I think Ayers was a “wannabe black.” There were many white radicals who regarded blacks, the more violent the better, as the only true revolutionaries, and wanted to emulate them or even be accepted as one of them. Don’t forget that the Weathermen and all the white radical groups were very involved with and supportive of the Black Panthers during their most violent days.
