4. They hated him because of his skin color

Tuesday

I have a particular uncle that was Democratic. Then Barack Obama announced his bid for presidency.

This particular uncle started receiving and sending out these awful and untrue emails about Barack Obama.

In summary, I honestly didn't know who Barack Obama was. My uncle sent me these hateful emails about a man who's name I couldn't pronounce.

I started debunking these emails. The more I learned about Barack Obama the more I liked him. I liked him so much that I voted for him. Twice!

I don't believe that's what this particular uncle wanted or what he was attempting to accomplish.
