Chad, I can't believe what I'm reading... I'm sorry my friend, but you have been sadly misled. You really need to RESEARCH this information for yourself and not go solely on the words of ANTI-BLACK supporters. BTW, that photo you posted has already been disputed. It wasn't the Pledge of Allegiance, it was the National Anthem. You are only required to stand for the National Anthem, but some do place their hand over their heart.
After reading you and Mike's posts which really have no grounds or basis, I now realize this country is in really bad shape to succumb to lies and false propaganda as easily as this. It really takes a nation full of ignorance to believe everything told to them without knowing the true facts for themselves. For the sake of the future of our children, even if you never like Sen. Barack, please search for the truth and not pass false judgement the way you just did.
Here is a starting point...
