That's right. I am so sick of race being a legitimate political issue suddenly. Race is the only issue that becomes a legitimate reason to for FOR someone, but not a legitimate reason to vote AGAINST someone.
Race race race race race. That's all I hear about now instead of policy.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Black students’ field trip draws parents’ anger in Michigan
Posted 15h 19m ago
DETROIT (AP) — A school district in Michigan is defending its intentions after a field trip by African-American elementary students drew complaints from excluded children and their parents.
Officials said Wednesday that 30 students from Dicken Elementary School in Ann Arbor met last week with an African-American rocket scientist at the University of Michigan. It was part of a larger effort to help close persistent test-score gaps between black and white students.
District spokeswoman Liz Margolis says the students were booed by others when they returned, and Principal Mike Madison admonished those children for their response. Madison told parents in a letter that the activity could have been approached better but the goal was positive.
Officials will also discuss the matter at a parent-teacher meeting Thursday.
