Re: [Dems2008] Re: From my caucus: Joke of the night

I don't mean to downgrade the accomplishment Lonique. What I believe is
that Obama will have achieved his goals when you no longer think of
yourself as a black person first, and a citizen of the U.S. second. I
believe that was the goal of MLK, also. MLF would want you to vote for
Obama NOT because of the color of his skin, but because of the content
of his character, regardless of skin color.
