The United States Military Academy at West Point said Wednesday that an investigation is underway regarding a photograph that shows 16 black cadets in uniform posing with their fists in the air.
We can confirm that the cadets in this photo are members of the U.S. Military Academys Class of 2016, West Points director of public affairs, Lt. Col. Christopher Kasker, told Army Times on Wednesday. Academy officials are conducting an inquiry into the matter.

This mindset, racial attitude etc permeates our whole country. Whites are naive if they think this will work itself out. It will never stop unless we make it stop or we dwindle to disenfranchised borg.
So, are these segregated barracks? Looks like it.
Obama has set race relations back 60 years.
