    Oh for crying out loud...

    Judge him on what he does now, not what he did. Unless it's criminal activity that has bearing on his fitness for office, what someone did in college doesn't matter. What they wore in high school doesn't matter, either.

    I understand that this article is trying to establish a history of racism, but it's not doing a very good job. Get current, please.
