Check out this letter to the editor (fourth one) in the San Francisco Chronicle:

  • [Is] white America is ready to vote for a black man to be the president of the United States in the year 2008. Sadly, the answer is no!

    Race is still the 800-pound gorilla sitting on the sofa in this country. Every important issue facing America today is tinged by racism. Everything, the legal justice system, schools, health care and even the illegal immigration debate. Let's be honest, we aren't talking about all illegal immigrants, just the "brown ones."

    If the Democrats want to blow what should be a slam dunk, they'll nominate Barack Obama for president.

    VERNON S. BURTON

So, to summarize: This guy argues that the Democrats should not nominate Barack Hussein Obama because Obama is black--and he claims that other people are racists.
