Why is it okay for the President to be openly racist? Supporting one race without supporting the others is racism. If President Bush had given a wreath to just the white's who served in the Civil War, then he would be lambasted for his attempts to honor our countries fallen. Yet President Obama sends a wreath in memory of the blacks who served in the Civil War and this is a great recognition. How is a country so focused on equality, so willing to allow open racism? If we ever want to move past the times of racial inequality America, we need to stop recognizing any accomplishments based on race. We need to stop forcing companies to interview people unfit for a job. We need to show recognition and support for all Americans. If you want to recognize the fallen from any war recognize them all. Not a select few nor just the majority. Recognize the entire group, otherwise you are not looking to solve any problem, you are just contributing to it.
Here's to all the fallen and all those still standing. Continue to serve men, make your country proud.
