Everyone of voting age should read these two books. Don't buy them,
get them from the library before they are removed from the
shelves.
From Dreams of 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 of My Father : 'I
found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against
my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something
about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and
white. From Dreams of 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 of 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
Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds
shift in an ugly direction.' If you have never forwarded an
e-mail, now is the time to do so!!!
I don't care whether you are a
Democrat , a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal,
