When I was growing up , and my color was the most defining and essential thing about me , I learned to hate those who wanted to know " where I was from " , and those who made me feel that I did n't deserve my birthright , even though my father , like Obama 's Grandfather , faught in WWII . I hated those who made monkey noises at me and those who laughed . I refused to say the pledge of allegience in school , and I cheered the Soviet athletes in the Olympics . I hated America and wished Soviet syle communism would replace America 's corrupt system .
