Every four years we turn to our TVs and online sites to cheer on competitors vying for supremacy in an arena where the rules are often unclear and scandal is rife.

Live, Learn – And Let Live, Anthony Major

I grew up in a segregated community in Florida and attended supposedly “separate but equal” schools in a small town that had separate water fountains, bathrooms and even beaches, among other restrictions. We were expected to cross the street when a white woman was approaching and never look a white man in the eyes - that is if you didn’t want to appear defiant.

Within a week, an offer of employment was made for a great-paying job with a wonderful schedule.

If America really is the “land of opportunity,” then it is only fair that everyone truly should have equality while on life’s endeavors.

With the world so full of discrimination, the term “land of opportunity” often gives people false hope.
