Barack Obama wonderful book, "Dreams from My Father," is the immigrant story, a black immigrant, rather than the history of the Negro People, and his acute awareness of this living history accounts for his unique and individual ability to cross the color line. When Obama writes, "My identity might begin with the fact of my race, but it didn’t, couldn’t, end there," what is meant is that my identity is not defined on the basis of the color factor in American history.
The words of Obama reveals why no self respecting Marxist, born and reared as part of the "baby boomers," can deploy the concept race, other than the petty bourgeois intellectuals unable to fully digest dialectics without opportunist sauce. ^^^^^ CB: Obama's words don't mean that. Unlike most Black people he was raised by White parents and grandparents. This gave him an unusual ability to understand both aspects of his Duboisian double consciousness. It allows him to be a uniter, not a divider. Obama is not an immigrant. He had little contact with his immigrant father. He was raised by US natives _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
