As said by Barack Obama:

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

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 mothers race.'

This is a result of heresay but I believe it to be true and accrit.
