Scholarships, minorities, historic event, God’s will, and all the other topics for the next 4 years. POINTLESS. I personally don’t CARE if the president is white or black. What if he was Mexican-American??? Would we all make such a big fuss about this?? Let’s just see how he does. These are facts from the last 24 hours: - Gitmo maybe shut down and some terrorists possibly released. (BAD in my opinion) - A Government Transparency Vow has been made (still undecided on Good or Bad) - It seems apparent where the President stands on abortion. Now for a side note: The status quo has changed. It has been established by “the black community” (i personally don’t like that term, it isolates in my opinion) has announced that anyone can achieve the highest office in this country. So you know what this means… No more need for Affirmative Action! The playing field is now equal. Now it’s the “best man for the job.“ Good luck everyone! |

I am totally amazed that the media is hailing Michelle Obama as a style setter. Her choice of clothes is atrocious. She has no style; is gawky, and apparently needs someone to dress her. The outfit she wore yesterday was the wrong color for her and looked as if it was to be worn to an afternoon tea; certainly not to the swearing in ceremony. Her evening dress was equally appalling and she looked very uncomfortable in it. |

Concerned, you must be kidding, right? A black person can’t get a scholarship at Ole Miss or State??? Since when? I happen to work in financial aid. All minorities today are given preferential treatment in regards to scholarships. It’s usually referred to as “under represnted minorities.“ A white kid today is really at a disadvantage today trying to get financial aid…but we’re not allowed to call that racism. |

First of all, I really think the Black and White Americans who are still racists are really concerned and bothered at the same time that this man has become President. If it really doesn’t matter what his skin color is why are you silly people making a fuss about it. Honestly, before any of you knew he was of mixed-race, all of you said that he was black.We are all of mixed-race….some a little more mixed than others! |

This message is in reference to the statement made by Sarah from Vicksburg. The reason that you all don’t have a United White College Fund is because you all have everything else. You can get scholarships for attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities but we can’t attend Ole Miss and Miss State and get those type of scholarships for being the minority. The reason you don’t hear statements like ‘Oh there’s a white man as the President is because that’s all we have seen. Finally history has been made so all this nonsense should just cease and just deal with it. We had to deal with Bush for **8** years. |

I think the article where the young boy told his teacher Pres Obama could name his dog John McCain was very irresponsible reporting and should not have been aired on the evening news on Jan 20. The film crew should have stopped immediately and told the teacher the remark would not be on the news and the film erased. Yes his parents or parent should be ashamed and your station should issue an apology on the evening and 10:00 news for this airing |

Obama is half white and half black that does not make him African American..raised mostly by his white Grandmother , who sadly he just buried. I belive your either American or your not. That should come first, no matter the color of your skin. They call us racist ? May The Good Lord Bless all AMERICANS. |
