"There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, 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 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."
These are real quotes from his book. I guess it's a matter of opinion as to what he really meant while writing it, but I was insulted when I read it myself. Sorry, but I don't like racism on ANY front.

This was typical of his early days just like any younger person.
He had no identity and he was trying to find one. Obama is one
guy who can clearly identify with many backgrounds. His life
has been extraordinarily diverse. He admits his meanderings
to try and find where he belongs.
And I am going to sound like a sap for saying this: I think
he understands the melting pot of America as well as, if not
more than any politician we have ever had run for president.
This is NOT a hateful man.
It is really not fair to make him seem like one.
This has long been a trick of the Democrats... Demonize
the opposition. Republican's now go for "the black man hates
you" jugular. Its repulsive.
