Obama was told by Frank Marshall Davis the Black People have a reason to hate.
Yes, of course his Kenyan genes are an important component in Obama’s set of psychological attributes. That’s undeniable. Plus Obama didn’t inherit his white mothers whiteness even though he was raised by his white mother and her white grandparents. Obama is naturally African. His father was a rather important Kenyan in his day. Obama saw his father only once during Christmastime 1971 but he travelled to Kenya four times but never to Wichita, Kansas where his mother Ann Dunham was born and raised.
The record shows Obama did visit Kansas but never went to Wichita. He spoke in Topeka in 2006, in El Dorado, the city where his grandparents had lived, in 2007, in Osawatomie on December 6, 2011 and at the University of Kansas in Lawrence on January 22, 2015. No Wichita but he went all the way to Africa four times. Three times before he was elected President of the U.S. and while there he visited the grave of his father in Kenya. He clearly felt closer to his father than to his white mother or to his white heritage and the white culture within which he was raised.
It was Frank Marshall Davis who delivered one of the most enduring lessons of Obama’s teenage years according to NEWSWEEK. After his white grandparents argued about a black panhandler who scared his grandmother, Obama visited the poet, shared some whiskey, and recounted the story. When Davis told him his grandmother was right to be scared because “black people have a reason to hate,” Obama realized how distant he was from his closest family. “The earth shook under my feet, ready to crack open at any moment,” he wrote. “I stopped, trying to steady myself, and knew for the first time that I was utterly alone.”
