You didn't answer my other question - what specifically offended you?

You know I have been thinking about it a little more and I do remember being bothered at times by his book.

As I stated I haven't read the book. Only excerpts. Patience

Of those excerpts, what was it that offended you, that has urged you to read more in an effort to find out the truth of his words?

Oh no! Definitely. I wanted to get other people's thoughts. I'm going today to see if the library has it. I was bothered (keep in mind I've only read excerpts to sell the book) by the same things that you were. I also had a general sense that he didn't like white people much. But again, that's why I'm going to read the book.

I would love for someone to suggest this concept to Sen. Obama himself and see what he has to say about it. I imagine that he doesn't like his white mother, his white grandparents, or the white half of himself too much. If that's what you got from his words, I hope that you do read the rest of the book and with an open mind because I am sure that's not what he was getting at.
