What I've read about Obama's memoirs was very shocking. I think his testimony shows how cruel people (in this case teenagers) can be and how racism is shown every day in every single situation.
The most powerful part of the text is, where his assistant basketball coach said: "There are black people, and there are niggers. Those guys were niggers." This statement surprised me because it's true that there are these kinds of verbal fights between peoplewhich are not easily resolved. Here ( in Argentina) the same things happen. You can see it with different groups of people.
I think that the text makes me change my point of view of how USA lifestyle is and I'd like to see a little bit more about it.
