Thanks Believer;
We are all products of our upbringings and are full of different biases and preconceptions. I’m no different. I try to be honest about it, especially to myself, which is often the hardest thing of all to do.
And Obama is no different. I feel for Obama. Growing up mixed race must have been hell at times for him. I understand his need to fit in somewhere as he grew up, in his search for an identity.
I think the reason I was so stung by his comments about his grandma, was that I believed he was better than that. Maybe I’m being too hard on him regarding that statement. It’s hard to be objective when emotions are so strong. (Like I said- I can be very wishy-washy.)
