The truth about Christian pianist Huntley Brown's email about Obama

HuntleyBrown.jpgChristian pianist Huntley Brown probably isn't a household word in the Christian music industry, but for many who rely on chain, forwarded emails as their personal soapboxes, he may be a familiar name.

That's because there's an email written by Brown making the rounds in which he clearly and specifically lays out his thoughts on why he will not be voting for Obama in November.

In the email, Brown says, "Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ ... I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second."

The problem, as we all know, is that those chain emails are rarely legit. Except, in this case, the go-to site for the truth about hoaxes and urban myths, Snopes.com, verifies that Brown did write that email.

But he didn't write it for you.
