A friend posted this, & I am reposting to the public. Racism is evil regardless of who practices it. This POTUS lost me when he chose to invade, overthrow, & destroy Libya. dn Here is that post: QUOTES FROM DREAMS FROM MY FATHER - - - - I ceased to advertise my mothers 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 a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race. There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white. 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 never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didnt speak to my own. It was into my fathers image, the black man, son of Africa, that Id packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. And FINALLY ... And most scary: From: Audacity of Hope - - - - I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. Well the winds have changed. Will he help ISIS? I wait too see.
