Pg. 101-102......
"Tim was not a conscious brother. Tim wore argyle sweaters and pressed jeans and talked like Beaver Cleaver. He planned to major in business. His white girlfriend was probably waiting for him up in his room, listening to country music."
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
Those are just a couple, sure my opponents will argue context as an excuse but he said them, they are racist thoughts and his actions as president in different incidents involving race shows he still harbors such feelings.

Context? No, and thanks for trying to divert honest discussion by predicting that others will say what you want them to say.
No, I will argue that Obama could not possibly be dangerous because he is so very stupid. If he really had a secret agenda do you think he would say it in front of everybody like that? It looks to me like he's being honest and up front about his youth, and showing how he's grown. Only a complete idiot would admit to current racism in those terms. It looks to me like your seeing not what he was saying, but what you wanted to hear.

A white guy running ever said such things? LOL he would never have made it through primaries.

Only because the white guys you appreciate aren't capable of being that honest. Try again.

There was one really offense line about when he found out his grandfather in africa worked for a white man still, the term "house ******" came to mind.

Did he use that term, or did you? I notice you don't quote that passage.
