I don't think you can be faulted for that.

McCain's race is a factor...exactly how?
What McCain experienced transcends race. Mrs. Alsoran stupid comments are based upon
nothing but race.
I still remember the "brothers" on the ship getting all hopped up ("Def jam in the Mother Land!") when we were headed to Djibouti. Then they got a look around. Sang a different tune after that (actually, they got quiet as shit for a good while). (Side note...they also found out how much African blacks can't stand American blacks.)
I suspect after seeing what that garden spot - a country wedged between Ethiopia and Somalia - was like, they were glad, secretly and way down inside, that their ancestor(s) were sold into slavery and ended up in America. In any case, they definitely gained some appreciation for these here United States.
Their change of heart was not sourced in selfishness. Mrs. Alsoran's absolutely was.
