Obama’s grandmother - the rest of the story
Posted By katie allison granju
Remember when Barack Obama recently referred to his white grandmother’s views on race when responding to criticism of his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright?
In the speech, Obama linked Wright and his grandmother when he said, “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.”
When I heard him say that, I guess I was envisioning a woman quite different from the trailblazing feminist bank executive Obama’s grandmother actually is.
