  Comment: " Anyone who doesn't hold his hand over his heart whrn the anthem is played has a deep problem, and we don't. need that leading our country no mater what the outside looks like. As long as we stay divided as a country amoung people of all races big brother has done there job." YOU MUST BE ONE OF THE UN-EDUCATED SOUTHERNERS VOTING FOR CLINTON OR MCCAIN! CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND YOUR FACTS! The national anthem was not necessarily being played at the time that the picture was taken!

  Comment: You almost sound racist in your way of thinking there. I know this is WAY late, but did you know that if you applied to a historically black college or university that you could apply under a minority scholarship? You mentioned all black colleges, are you proposing that we get rid of all white colleges too? I mean the only reason that there are all black colleges is because at one point in our history we weren't allowed to learn and whites wouldn't let us in so we had to start ones for ourselves. They are still standing but they are not, nor have they ever, been closed to whites. Whites just choose not to attend them. Did you hear about the Caucasian gentleman who applied to, went to and is now graduating Valedictorian of MOREHOUSE College in Atlanta? Well it's an all male, all black (sans the few whites that applied and attend) and he is the Valedictorian. So if you feel that you are being held back it's only because of your own limitations.
  
  Like Jackasssiegel said, Afirmative action was instituted because at the time it was needed and unfortunately, as Kentucky, West Virginia and all the other Applichian states have shown, racism still is entrenched in this country and until everyone is truly equal then it's still needed. It's sad and it's unfortunate but it's also still a part of American life and our culture.
  
  This is what Obama was saying we need to open a dialoge about race in this country and begin healing wounds instead of pushing them down (applying pressure) and hope that they scab and heal over on their own. It's never going to happen because those that use race as a crutch (blacks) and those that use it to hold another down (SOME whites-not all) have got to open their minds and figure something out.
  
  Those that hate because of a persons skin color probably can't tell you WHY they hate because of it withough spewing some lie that they were told (and believed). It's all based on stereotypes.
