I'm proud of the steps Obama has taken toward peace... but this is just a drop like giving someone and A+ for their course grade before they've taken the final exam...

As to what he should do with it, I'm not sure. I wouldn't fault him for accepting it... he should make it his goal to ensure he does live up to it by the time he's finished as our president (and I do think he's the kind of man that could deserve one). If he turned it down I might be a little more proud of him, but overall the choice won't negatively affect my opinion of him.

However, if you think I'm racist because I think they picked wrong you are far more racist than I am. Black people that see hate every time a white person disagrees with them have just as much racial bias/hate in their heart as the people they are so afraid of.
