OK, he's 2nd generation.
The reason Barak Obama attached himself to Jeremiah Wright is because Obama needed to learn about the American black experience. Obama didn't descend from slaves. He's the product of an African national and a white woman from Kansas/Mercer Island.
How can a white woman's son who attended private schools identify with the suffering and disadvantages faced by American blacks who have to endure the legacy of slavery & Jim Crowe laws? The fast path to gaining understanding is to become involved in a black-centric church. As a bonus, membership in the church provides an organization from which to launch a political career. Obama was smart to join a black church. Unfortunately, he picked the wrong black church.
I'm very concerned that Obama, in trying to learn black culture, assimilated a lot of "hate America" ideas. I want our president to love this country. I'm not inspired by a leader who isn't inspired by the greatness of our country, even though we're not perfect.
