“The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”

Yeah these aren't racist statements at all are the?

Yep, I think you are correct. I hope the mods delete this one.

Someone submits a variation of this post every three months or so.

Always a collection of quotes cherry-picked out of context from "Dreams of My Father"

Always by someone who doesn't understand there is a difference between "racial" and "racist".

Always by someone who, I guarantee you, has not read Obama's book.

Excellent post. I agree except this type of thread comes up a lot more frequently than three months . They are on a roll with nonsense.

Hmm nothing but insults, great job at explaining his comments and his close ties with black radicals.

The fact is what he said is not ok, obama AND his wife have said things and associated with people that no white person would ever get away with if the situation was reversed.

You want this to be an issue, but it's not. I swear some people just need him to be racist, because it would be the perfect excuse for their own... tendencies. You know, the old "he started it!" that most people grow out of by first grade.

Taras,.. All of this has been brought up, quoted, discussed and beaten to death numerous times. I do realize you probably don't realize it but, if you use the search feature you will find several threads going back to when President Obama was Candidate Obama.

I didn't know I should have used the search function you are right. Any this makes me realize that obama supporters will support him no matter what he says or does because he can do no wrong, also makes me realize obama supporters are bigger hypocrites than I originally thought.

No worse than supporters of some other politicians from either side of the issue. Many sources slant stories, many make "mountains out of molehills", and many outright lie. Like the story of Michelle Obama supposedly ordering lobster and caviar at some hotel,... outright fabrication. One really needs to read more than one source on an issue and not depend on blogs or snipets of a story. Remember the whole bashing of Shirley Sherrod for example. Have you read "Dreams of My Father" or just clips from the book? I'm not arguing with you, you have a right to your opinion, i'm just suggesting that sometimes we need to have an educated opinion and not "jump off of the bridge" over half a tale.
