What does the Obama White House stand for 8211 Telegraph Blogs
".......For all his early experience as a community organiser in the black neighbourhoods of Chicago, Mr Obama does not share in the American black experience. He is not descended from slaves. He spent much of his childhood outside of the US and he was raised by a white grandmother. He seems, in fact, to have difficulty hitting the right note in addressing the anger and alienation of disadvantaged black youth. His voice is not that of a Jesse Jackson or a Martin Luther King who had really lived the life they spoke of, but of the privileged mixed-race cosmopolitan man that he is: the urbane law professor whose father happened to be Kenyan but who has known little hardship in his own life."
