He must reject hate and the agents of hate. Unconditionally.

He must do more than reject Donnie McClurkin's message, he must reject Donnie McClurkin.

He must do more than reject Kirbyjon Caldwell's message, he must reject Kirbyjon Caldwell.

When he sincerely apologizes for pandering to bigots and unambiguously rejects their contributions to his campaign, I will, without hesitation, jump on the Obama bandwagon.

But if he continues on the tack he's been taking; if he continues to reject hate, but embrace the agents of hate, I can't vote for him.

If he continues to have genuinely insightful commentary about homophobia in the African American community, but in the same breath snarks about how he didn't get an HIV test with Senator Biden, I can't vote for him. I won't vote for him. Not in the primary. Not in the general. Not ever.

Please Obama supports, please do everything you can to get your candidate to reject the agents of hate. There's a lot to like in your candidate, and I don't believe that he, personally, is a homophobe. It's just his campaign. His campaign decries hate, while embracing haters, and I can't support that.
