Obama's attempt to rationalize Wright's radical statements as coming from his generation of blacks with memories of “humiliation and doubt and fear” is about as true as shrillary's bosnia story!
Wright's real childhood:
He lived in a middle-class racially mixed section in northwest Philadelphia where his father was pastor at Grace Baptist Church and his mother was a schoolteacher and accomplished several "firsts" in the Philadelphia school system.
Wright attended the elite Central High School which admits only highly-qualified applicants. Though Central was 90% white at the time, former students say racial tension did not exist.
Wright's extra-curricular activities, included junior varsity football, band, school orchestra, and swing band.
In contrast to Wright’s comfortable upbringing, Morton A. Klein, who also attended Central High around the same time, lived in a poor, virtually all-black section called West Oak Lane.
“Four times a year, we would go to get big boxes of used clothing that was our wardrobe for the year. I never resented it. I was thrilled with my clothes,” says Klein, who was an economist in the Nixon, Ford, and Carter administrations and is now president of the Zionist Organization of America.
“We never went out to eat,” says Klein. “We had no car. We did not go to summer camp or take vacations. I had dozens of black friends. We played in the street every day. I remember my childhood as wonderful, and it certainly did not breed hatred of America. I loved America.”
In contrast, the man Obama describes as being like an uncle has blamed America and whites for starting the AIDS virus to kill off blacks, training professional killers, importing drugs, and creating a racist society to oppress blacks.
