"Republican front-runners weren't the only things missing from the presidential debate stage. The American flag was AWOL, too.
The backdrop to the "All-American Presidential Forum," brought to you by Tavis Smiley and PBS, was a map of the United States, superimposed with a checkerboard of multicultural faces.
The buzz among some Republicans was that organizers thought the flag might "offend" some members of the audience. Cavey, while critical of the decision, chalks it up to aesthetics, not politics. Red-white-and-blue simply would have clashed with the map's yellow-to-burnt-orange hues. [Whom do they think they're kidding?] ....
"They could have walked across the street to the police station to get a flag in half an hour, and I know personally that Morgan State University has a flag somewhere," Cavey said. "I thought it was absolutely inappropriate that the 'All-American Presidential Debate' couldn't even produce an American flag."
