I'm pretty good at telling what race people are just by looking at them. When I walk down the street and look around, it's easy for me to know if someone is BLACK, WHITE or OTHER.
 
While watching the democratic debates the other night, it hit me….Barack Obama is a light skinned black man. IT'S TRUE! Some of you may have already learned this through your own sources and others may have thought "why is that political candidate so tan?" My intention is not to alarm or upset people with this new information. If anything, I'm totally on board with it!
 
I've always championed equality, and sometimes that makes me unpopular. I have received nasty emails, lost friends and even a handful of jobs because of my progressive views on racial tolerance. I am sad to see that so many are upset that I, just a simple white man, am trying to fight racism ... single (white) handedly.

People will not break me of my convictions.  I'll continue to see people for their financial standings and NOT the color of their skin.  Please support me in this.  If anyone will suffer in the end, it's me!  I'm a straight, white, attractive, wealthy male, and am willing to give up all those powerful titles to be just like everyone else.  Let's all (upper/upper-middle class) be equals!
