http://jewagainstobama.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/obama-referred-to-jews-as-kikes/#comment-1251On this site they are trying to make a case for Obama being an anti-Semite because he wrote about the graffiti on the bathroom walls in Columbia being racist:
To quote the site (which is in turn quoting an old New Yorker magazine article):
"He was a black child, by American lights, but his mother and his grandparents—the only family he knew—were “white folks,” and his confusion was acute. In “Dreams from My Father,” Obama describes how, as a teen-ager, he tried marijuana and cocaine. (“I guess you’d have to say I wasn’t a politician when I wrote the book,” he told me. “I wanted to show how and why some kids, maybe especially young black men, flirt with danger and self-destruction.”) He went to Columbia University, and liked New York, but he found the city’s racial tension inescapable. It “flowed freely,” he wrote in his memoir—“not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia’s bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes. It was as if all middle ground had collapsed.”
You can scroll down on the site and see where I put my 2 cents in.
This Obama bashing is getting desperate and stupid! He seems to have been truly disturbed by the racial tension in NY City. I think he makes it abundantly clear in his book. I read the older edition of the book which had those 2 red hot words in it. I was not offended. I understood the context in which he wrote them.
Does anyone else here see my point?
