This is very good news!

Very good news indeed.
How is a racist in the White House good in any way? Could you explain that? Morals... Going out the window in todays youth.
How is he racist?
The quotes below are from Obama's book, "Dreams of My Father";
Although Obama spent various portions of his youth living with his white maternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather, he vowed that he would "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."
This is from "Audacity of Hope";
"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."
From "Dreams";
"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 would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."
"There was something about him that made me wary," Obama wrote. "A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white"
That's just how things were back then, y'know?
It wasn't an easy time for black people.
And besides, what's wrong with emulating MLK or W.E.B. DuBois or Nelson Mandela?
Though Malcom X was a bitter, hateful man... I still don't understand why a lot of people admire him so much.
