In one case it can be inferred that the democratically elected president is hated simply because he is black. In the other case, a thinking person may dislike the person that appears to be proudly associating himself with race-based hatred specifically because that kind of thinking and actions based on that thinking (prominent 100 years ago) are ignorant and detrimental to everyone involved.

And before you start in on the Nazi skinhead thing do a little research on Ian McKay and Minor threat.
