Affirmative Action

I think that even though we have an African-American president we still need to make sure that atleast a specific amount of African-American and Latinos get into college even if it is only becuase the government requires it because I think that even though we have a new president we still can't ignore the fact that in the past their has been racisim. i think that this is something that will not go away because of a new president. We have to remember that Obama didn't the presidency by 100% so their are people here in the USA who still think that anyone who isn't white cannot lead our country. We have to remember that these things can't be rushed and even though it looks like we aren't making any progress, besides the presidency, but we are because if we look back we can see that we no longer have slaverly, as somethink legal, and we are all able to go the same places. But this thing about college can take a while for it to be coleeges would want African-Americans and Latinos because they are smart and not because they have to have specific number of them in their school. Sorry I din't mention it earlier but you should have gotten the message that i am pro-affirmative.
