Its Ironic that people that fought in the Vietnam war are so against Toni Smith, that war is universally considerd wrong these days.
People keep saying she has the right to express her opinion that she has a right to free speech, thats true she does, but beyond that what Toni Smith is expressing what she is saying is not being heard. Toni Smiths message is a great one this country overlooks everything it took to become what we are, clearly the greatest nation on this planet. But in order to become great our Amercan ancestors killed, lied, cheated, those things are crimes and stains on that flag but the greater crime is trying to forget these injustices instead of making them right to the best of our ability.
Our President is against things like affirmative action a pitance of what blacks are owed in this country(oh boy did I say owed), But this is a man who sent more blacks to the chair than any politician ever, thats a fact and what does it say about really making this country great.
I wouldnt want to live in any other country on the globe but we need to remember what it took to get here. And lets not think that our milatary is so naive as to not know that we have major skeletons in the closet, when they fight for this nation they fight for the good and bad in our history.
