I am glad that this has not turned into a flamefest. This is a testament the quality of people that post on Chief Delphi.
I feel that this is an issue that needs to be discussed and yes it is controversial. I wish we didn't need to discuss this, but it is something we can't ignore.
FIRST will attract controversy and will disenfranchise many if they allow more people like Jesse Jackson to attend their events and if they continue to push programs and scholarships that are availible only to people of a certain race.
This is important to us because we love FIRST so much. We do not want a media circus surrounding FIRST. We do not want talking-heads trashing FIRST. This is what will happen if FIRST allows people like Jesse Jackson to attend events.
