I've read some quotes from one of Barack Obama's books and it just feels false. It feels as though it's someone writing things with a specific audience in mind, as though he's trying to make himself seem a certain way and not quite pulling it off. Things just don't seem to ring true. Doesn't he realize that virtually every American black whose family goes back at least a hundred years is of mixed race? He was abandoned by his Kenyan father when he was two and his parents divorced. His atheist mother then got involved with another Muslim guy, this time from Indonesia and moved him off down there until she left him when Barack was about 9 or 10. Then he returned to Hawaii where he lived through high school. Keep in mind that Hawaii is a land of many races and mixed races. But he says stuff like this:"In his first memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama observed that when people discover his mixed-race heritage, they make assumptions about the mixed blood, the divided soul, the ghostly image of the tragic mulatto trapped between two worlds.Come ON. No one except deluded liberals talking about their idea of what they think are racist conservatives talks about "mixed blood" "divided soul" "tragic mulatto trapped between two worlds." He certainly didn't experience anything like this in Hawaii. It is just SO ludicrous.
"Indeed, Obama acknowledges feeling tormented for much of his life by the constant, crippling fear that I didn't belong somehow, that unless I dodged and hid and pretended to be something I wasn't, I would forever remain an outsider, with the rest of the world, black and white, always standing in judgment.
And then this:"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, he wrote."I just don't believe there is any way that a 12 or 13 year old, especially in Hawaii is going to be thinking this way unless he's mentally disturbed.
Or this, in a newspaper article about him:"During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other half-breeds who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman."But his world WAS the white/Indonesian/Hawaiian world. What is he talking about?
And farther on in the article:Thus, in his second memoir, The Audacity of Hope, which was published last year, Obama adopted a more conciliatory, even upbeat tone when discussing race. Noting his multiracial family, he wrote in the new book: Ive never had the option of restricting my loyalties on the basis of race, or measuring my worth on the basis of tribe.This appears to contradict certain passages in his first memoir, including a description of black student life at Occidental College in Los Angeles.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.Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.
He added: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred, he wrote.Even his talk about "tribes" seems to be aping a liberal's idea of what racist white people would characterize as a "tribe". He talks about people who "caused so much of the damage in the first place". Well, those would have been Muslim slavers buying slaves from blacks in Africa and, more recently in his own past, his atheist mother and his own disappeared father.
And note this:He added: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.Avoid being mistaken for a sell-out? How much more of a sell-out could he be than to choose the kind of people he did. This guy is nothing but a male Hillary.
Excellent analysis of his completely phony “biographies.”
Seriously — he did not write those books, which is why they don’t ring true. William Ayers wrote them. This has been proven by the thought patterns in common with Ayers’s own books, and the millions of references that fit AYERS’s life and not Obama’s.
