Yup, not the same, just similar. But keep hating.
Wrong, you do not get to "choose" your parents. And as soon as your old enough you can leave them. Obama CHOSE Wright and stayed with him for over 20 years.
My Dad had racist opinions and feelings. He was the kind of guy that dislikes a whole race, but once he gets to know someone of that race then they are fine. He had numerous black friends in the Army, some were close friends. Of course the army and combat can quickly teach you color of skin means almost nothing.
He ended up with a half black niece as well. He loved her just as much as every other niece and nephew and actually had no problem even telling strangers she was his niece. He still had those feelings though and he made those comments outside her hearing about the black race.
I have two children. I have made sure they NEVER hear me say or act in that manner. I have made sure as they grew up they made friends based on getting to know the person not because of color of skin, or life conditions. I made sure they were in a diverse setting ( not hard to do being as they grew up as Marine brats).
Now lets be honest. Because of my father I do think some of those thoughts at times. And I have probably said some bad things as well, though I do not remember them ( never around my kids or even in my home). My Grandmother was very racist and I spent a good bit of time with her growing up as well. And believe me I called her on her comments ( much safer to do then my father LOL). Though I did call my Dad on it a couple times. Reminding him he had black friends.
I choose not to be that way even though I was exposed to it growing up. I also choose not to associate with people like that. One of my wife's friends husbands is like that. I will not associate with him. Which is funny as he married a Filipino as well.
Notice how I KNEW about it? How I noticed it? There is no way Obama did not know how Wright thinks and feels.
