How could you say that Obama doesn't come from a civil rights background. If you knew your candidate, you would know that he got his start in politics as being apart of a civil rights movement in Chicago. He started his career as a means to help blacks...sounds like civil rights to me
. One of the first projects that he was a part of was the removal of asbestos from low income housing projects (where primarily blacks lived)...I dont even like the guy but I know his background
