6. Sing it loud, say it proud: Florida for Obama!
Thu Nov 1, 2012, 08:54 AM
Nov 2012

There is only one way for the South to rise again, and that is to put aside it's centuries long bigotry and accept the fact that skin color is only skin deep, and beyond skin color, we are 99.6% identical. We are all the same on the inside.

The other fact for the South to accept: A man of mixed white and black heritage is by far and above the most qualified and capable candidate for President of the United States.
