Because if you do, you'll be no different from the ignorant members of the Ku Klux Klan, past and present.

I am not saying don't back or support Obama, I am saying don't just do it because he is black, do it because of what he intends to bring to the table, because of his convictions, because of the possible changes a his administrations may bring.
