Consider that u r in a land of whites,where the race the color are what religion and caste is for us in India.A place where the blacks and other races are treated as if they arent the children of god.Am referring to none other than the United States.What would your slogan be would it be God Bless America,no Indian would be chanting that we would rather prefer God Damn America.But this one man Obama has really started his first step towards the great voyage to end this race conflicts.Barack Obama was born to a black Kenyan father and a white mother.His parents separated when he was very young and his mother remarried a man fromIndonesia.He received his early schooling in a muslim school in Indonesia.Later on he was raised in Hawaii where whites are in minority.
From his autobiography DREAMS FROM MY FATHER:A STUDY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE .Let me put forward his extracts:
"We were always playing on the white mans court.Whatever they decided to do it was their decision.Infact you coulnt even be sure that everyhting yoou had assumed to be an expression of your black,unferreted self-the humour,the songthe behind the backpass.At best these things were a refuge at worst a trap."
"My identity might begin with the fact of my race,but it didnt,couldnt,end there.At least that is what i would choose to .
Perhaps in this man Obama,who has lived in three continents,who is not of a particular race,and not of a particular religion,and who believes that all men are equal,a soul searching for honesty,we have found another Mahatma.
