Does a New president mean that Affirmative Action will change for minorities?

So the debate today in class was about Barrack Obama's presidency, and considering that he is an African American, the topic of whether Minorities will still have the opportunity to go to college, as they do now. I think that minorities should still get the privileges that they do now for college. 

The reason I do believe that minorities should be able to get into colleges with the privileges of being a minority is because, most minorities come from a poor neighborhood. Students in high school might already be forced to have a job to help out in the family, and having a job doesn't leave much time to do homework or study for tests. This being the case, their GPA might not be as high as somebody who has the time to study and do homework. Therefore, this could limit their chances to go into college and try to earn a better living. Some minorities try very hard to get into college but sometimes it is not possible because of the conditions they live in or money might be tight. However, white people are usually the richer ones and the ones in charge and sort of see minorities as lower class. And when that happens, the minorities believe that they are lower class and act like it too, so they might believe that they are living the way they are suppose to be and things can't improve. Since most white people can afford a good education and the time to become educated it is easier for them. The only reason why they wouldn't be able to go to college is because they were lazy in high school. Also just because our President is African American doesn't mean that minorities aren't suffering anymore. It just means that he was well educated, possibly because of the Affirmative Action and he got the opportunity to get to the place that he is now. Therefore, we should continue this because it will create more educated people and enable minorities to live a better life and provide it for their children.
