Do you claim all elected officials that happen to be of your racial background? If so, bully for you but I only support individuals OF ANY RACIAL BACKGROUND that are fighting for the same causes I am. It doesn't make sense to support anyone just because they look like you.

EDITED TO ADD: Do I respect what Colin and Condi have achieved? Yes, I think they are working very hard against some difficult circumstances in this adminstration. Does that mean I support them as leades of a race whose ideals and values they personal and political choices do not align with? Heck no and I shouldn't be expected to. No one was running around saying the country had to support Clinton when he was going through his trials and tribulations, as a matter of fact most of the individuals I know were ready to string the man up for "tampering with the moral fiber of the country." I have yet to figure out why folks assume minorities should just do a dance of joy when any old minority is elevated to status in this country.
