"Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama;
I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America.
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama;

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes" [Anne Wortham]
