Barack stands behind Kezia (stepmother) in a Kenyan family shot. (Including brother Abongo "Roy" Obama who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." "Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in "Dreams From My Father". ENOUGH SAID RIGHT HERE!

While all this sounds great! I have found that by the time you "get to know what's in a person's heart" IT'S TOO LATE.What you may have found is deception,etc.I go more on actions,then I take it from their on out.

"Strange, his name is that of the great slave traders, the Arabs; while he identifies with former west African slaves, which he isn't. Who is he? Who is this masked man?" --djo

There is the unknown about his heart, his true feelings. His books are the most candid of any presidental aspirant today, which raises questions as much as it gives answers.
Obama has stood on stage thru anthems without raising a hand. Obama has sat thru sermons that would repel his grandmother and most whites. He attends a Afro-centric church, whose pastor has been his close mentor & controversial.
Barack is highly educated at the best of schools from childhood. He was raised white, called Barry, speaks white, but has sought a black identity since then. Strange, his name is that of the great slave traders, the Arabs; while he identifies with former west African slaves, which he isn't. Who is he? Who is this masked man?
Obama runs on the themes of hope, change and unity, but creates fear & division as to what change?
I don't yet know!

I agree, however, few, if any of you, get to see racism from my perspective... I am shunned by blacks as well because I am not "black enough"... Talk about being a racial outcast.

“That hate hadn't gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
Obama’s racial suspicions were not always limited to whites. For example, after making his first visit to Kenya, he wrote of being disappointed to learn that his paternal grandfather had been a servant to rich whites.
He wrote in “Dreams” that the revelation caused “ugly words to flash across my mind. Uncle Tom. Collaborator. House African American.”
Such blunt and provocative observations about race are largely absent from Obama’s second memoir.
“I have witnessed a profound shift in race relations in my lifetime,” he wrote in “Audacity.” “I insist that things hav
