Obama didnt grow up in AL or MS.
I grew up NY and by the time I was 12 or 13 there was little to no bigotry.
As for his biography, the facts are there. Had he not been black he never would have gotten to attend the schools he did.
Actually, I grew up in Montana, and in my senior year, I saw a girl by the name of Kelly who had a boyfriend by the name of Jimmy.
Both of those people loved each other a lot. Kelly was a cheerleader, and Jimmy was one of the stars of the football team, and lemmie tell ya.............he was a great blocker.
One day, I came into school and saw Kelly crying her ass off, and stopped to ask her what was wrong. She said that her parents knew she was going steady with Jimmy (and yeah.............last names are left off to protect the innocent), and told her she had to break up with him.
Wanna know the reason? It was because Kelly was white, and Jimmy was black.
Sure......................keep trying.......................bigotry existed back in 1981 to 1982 (my senior year) and it still exists today.
