Everyone of voting age should read these two books:
Don't buy them, just get them from the library.
From Dreams from My Father: "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."
From Dreams from My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive
sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
From Dreams from My Father: "There was something about her that made
me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe, and white."
From Dreams from My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side
you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams from My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men
whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
And FINALLY.........
And most scary:
From The Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political
winds shift in an ugly direction."
We can't let this man control our country any longer. Vote the Democrats
out in November 2010, and vote Obama out in 2012.
PLEASE help spread the word!
