A racist dog and pony show, not progress imo

Yea, So why not change the status quo? Why do the same old thing thats always been done? It should be applauded that she brought diversity. I also hope that the students were those from innercity schools who usually would have no chance to attend such an event.
How can we expect youth to believe in Govt and they never get a chance to see it for themselves?

She brought in black people, not diversity.

Because thats not diversity, and how is representing an already diverse population by skewing towards one minority disproportionately not the status quo. The "Establishment" is forcing diversity upon everyone so in effect that is the status quo. I have been in the University setting for 10 years now, I am in the sciences. Me being a white male makes me a major minority. I chose to be in a diverse environment. I do not feel that people should be forced to live with others that are different than them if the so wish. You may say thats backwards thinking and all that. But we live in a supposedly free country and if I dont want to associate with a bunch of rich white people then I should have that right.

She brought in black people, not diversity.

Exactly!!!

u missed the whole point if barbara bush had 80 percent non black reps thats realistic because that is closer to our countries ratio.

oh and i love what obama did in Iraq. remember when he got elected he was gonna make all these changes........ oh wait he decided to stick with the exact same plan bush had put in place.

there is a lot of flaws in that comment..... i'm not saying what obama has or is doing is for the better or worse, not for me to judge, because honestly i don't care. . but obama did change a lot of the timeline.. the only thing he has stuck by is something he can not legally break which is the status of force agreement (SOFA). which is actually not the americans call, its the iraqi government.. but why did this even become an attack on president obama??


and to your comment about the countries ratio, you are very right. and i think that most people do not realize the racial break down of america is still very one-sided. but i also believe this thread has become very twisted based on a very bias article... the point is there is nothing wrong with what the first lady did.. i truely do, like alot of people, hope she does not ONLY reach out to black people. but lets be honest the first lady said from the beginning she wanted to reach out to inner city black kids, so why now that she is actually doing that do we have a problem?? is the real issue here not race but we as americans are so use to people lying to us that we get mad when they actually do what they said they were going to do because its not something you liked in the first place...
