I did it, I hope it works, but I find most prejudice lies in the older community. Being from the South, I am 46 and when I was 6 I was still in a segregated school and remember in 1st grade when they were changing the last few schools to biracial and parents refusing to send kids to school, my mother didn't but a lot of my friends didn't go to school that day. But my parents and grandparents did use a lot of words that were not considered correct.

My son who is 26 was in a college class yesterday, and he was shocked and he said embarrassed when during this speech class they had to guess the identify of a celebrity. A girl his age asked if he was colored. The teacher who was African American said "Excuse me" giving her ample time to correct her self, but she still said it the same way "Is he colored?" The teacher said, "If your asking is he African American the answer is Yes,". Now she might have been raised this way but don't you learn things on TV and in life in general? I was shocked.

Tell me will the rev Jeremiah Wright sign this pledge...or are Foam-at-the-mouth BLACK racists considered exempt from this program?

I am concerned about a comment that a person made on the video. He stated that we are all American Immigrants. There is one group that is Indigenous to this country and they are the First Nation People. I am a member of the Southern Ute Tribe of Ignacio, CO and I did not come from another country. My people have always been here.

I would request that this information be corrected. Thank you.
