VADER FOR PRESIDENT

[spasjt]

I love it when Mr. James Earl Jones says:

"In my family background three different races....so I have no call to be bigoted about anything therefore it has released me of being bonded to anybody. I'm not bonded to being black I don't have to act out being black. I TRY ACT OUT BEING WHO I FEEL I AM."

Pity more people don't have a similar mental acceptance of being who they are instead of limiting themselves to the mindset of what is 'black' or what is 'white' instead of just being themselves.

@ELECTRICCHAIRRHYMIN It defeats the purpose of equality to have divisional leaders.
