A SHALLOW PAST AND A HOLLOW FUTURE … WELL TELL ME MORE


THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT -- HE'S RUNNING AGAIN, YOU KNOW! 
Is anyone out there awake?


Everyone of voting age should read these two books by him: 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, 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'."
