No white person's application for a job will ever be thrown out like an application with an ethic name many times is. Any good place to live will never be shut out to a white person. A white parent doesn't have to go to bed at night and wonder if their teenage kid might get shot by a police officer because they are minority. For many years minoritys were denied loans or charged higher interest because they were not white. Being born white in America has free privileges that minoritys have to "earn". Many prominent schools won't take people of color. Just like David whites have everything. No one will ever judge you to be less because your white. Your white color alone puts you 3-4 steps ahead of anyone else. But just like David you desire to have even more. You'll look to take, kill, and destroy. And hide behind the cloak of self righteousness. Thats why whites make up most of the Republican party. When will it ever be enough for almighty whitey? And as I have said before AA wasn't created because all things were equal. It was created because all things weren't and still are not equal. Marthat Stewart epitomizes the character of the average white person. She had everything. That lady had enough money to live 100 lifetimes. But yet for a lousy 40 grand, which is like $5 to me, she gets caught up in some shady stuff. And I like Martha too. But it wasn't enough. Whats funny is most of these schools that want to do away with minority based scholarships are already close to 90% white anyway. Hmmmm....................sometimes I just sit in amazement.

Abbreviated: "All white people suck."

Get real, man.

Hey I see you've just met our resident Black bigot Classy. Been a while since He cut loose with that claptrap consider yourself lucky. He has been repressing his racism lately so this is a rare treat for the forums.

LOL, I see the usual peanut gallery is out, with its famed leader Moonbutt. See most of you think minoritys are inferior. Its called fear. Ah Nessy why the whining? If you can post what you believe as being right, I think this is America jack, I got the right to respond. Most of the time I just laugh at the nonsense, but sometimes like this, I like to respond. Damn shame the truth hurts, huh. :p

Why is this a big deal? There are a lot of essentially whites only, for example Albanian-Americans, scholarships available already.

I think you need to clue into the fact that White's have just as much of a right to have an exclusive scholarship as anyone else does. If I had it MY way, I'd get rid of all awards/clubs/organizations with racial overtones. And for your information, AA was created because some fools thought that getting poor grades in school or lackluster performance at work was grounds for a promotion/acceptance to a premier university. I personally find the program flawed. It's a program that uses "diversity" as a shield to mask its true purpose, which is nothing more than forced displacement of those who've earned and replace them with those who haven't. It couldn't be that 2.0 GPA and 1000 SAT keeping you out of Harvard right? No way.....it's all YOUR FAULT WHITEY

so private organizations don't have the right to spend their money as they like?

i don't care if it's whites only, blacks only, or children-of-millions only, as long as the funds are not publicly supported;

the only thing publicly supported should be to help those that are poor gain hold of a latter to the middle class, regardless of everything but citizenship and willingness to work for it.

It's not so much that private organizations don't have a right to spend their money the way they see fit....I just think that using race/gender/ethinicity is somewhat exclusionary and could be harmful in the long run.

I don't know about Classy but after reading that thread I still want to beat the sh!t out of Texmaster even though he has been banished for a long time from here. Could you imagine that fscktard posting in this forum?

Yes, and he would be worthwhile than many of the posters we have in this forum.

I still think he got railroaded.

Very few whites need scholarships just open your eyes. Meanwhile a large segment of blacks still live under the poverty line and have little or no resources to send thier chilren to school. I really don't get the "message" they are trying to send? I mean $250 would'n even buy some chemistry books/lab materials I had luckily I had rich white parents.;) Cause I sure could'nt count on these tight wads for anything.

they've actually gotten a good number more donations; and when that's a paycheck every $250 helps.

That's one of the stupidist commends I've ever heard. I know many, many poor white people, I grew up in one of the poorer (think white trash) suburbs near Seattle. Poverty does not run along racial lines.

That being said, there IS something to be said for familial attitudes towards education, responsibility, drug use, spousal violence, sexual promiscuity... etc etc, and these values also know not racial lines, as I have known very successful people from every ethnicity who have come from humble beginnings.

Stop making excuses for people and call them out, encourage them to use the God-given talents they possess to better themselves and others. Until you're able to do that, you're just holding them down.

You know better than that. As a liberal I think all school should be paid for everyone by taxes like any other 1st world country does. Any school any race and gender..as long as one can marticulate of course.

Orsorum- Same to you.

then would you, in this mixed economy, want to favor the kid of a rich black-doctor over the child of a poor white stoner?

Same grades, same scores..the poorer of the two has more need therefore he should get it. Is'nt that how the system works now? Pell grants are need based so is all staford loans.

On the fed level, yep; Gov. funded scholarships and admission are a different story;

maybe if you directed it to the inner city, but when it comes to skin-color only, do you think the gov. should be giving out supporting funds to those kinds of scholarships? or state institutions having set admissions? Can non-state funded institutions discriminate on admissions based on race? Should kids going there get pell-grants and the like?

it's nuanced, but I'd basically like to know what your basis of decision on these things are.

Did you go to college?

Yes, 2 years. I then attended a tech for school for Electronics and Computers. Am presently working on my MCSE certification through another tech school. Pretty good school as well. My 2 years was at the local community college. Then I got a job in the summer and was doing quite well, so I never went back. Then about 5 years later I got into computers, which prompted me to go to tech school. My brother is working on his masters, he graduated from Rutgers. My sister graduated from Rowan, when it was Glassboro State. I am far from uneducated and come from a decent family. Oh and my mom is a Pastor. :) I have never gotten a handout. Neither did my brother or sister. We paid like everyone else, loans. But some folks are not even in position to do that. Some folks need help, plain and simple. And if someone's gonna help them, then hey I am all for it. I don't even have a problem with making a scholarship for just whites who really need it. Poor people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. But don't do it as hate message against others. As these poor bastards are doing. With that I have a problem. Its a damn shame that many of the knucklehead losers here don't get it.

I honestly think if the media ignored this as well as other students/faculty it would have been a non issue...who cares who they want to give $250 to, this was a publicity stunt and everyone bought into it hook, line and sinker.

I like how the article neglects that the group offering the scholarship is almost entirely minority and the leader they quote (who came up with the idea) is Puerto Rican. He has stated the reason for offering the scholarship was to highlight the disparity and discrimination of the scholarship system.

Thats what I liked about it so much as well. If it was just a bunch of whites dudes sitting around thinking it up...People would tend to think it might be a bunch of guys in white sheets. But its hard to call them racist when they're largely minorities. I think AA is bull. Scholarships should be based on financial need and academic ability, nothing more. If minorities happen to be poor, the scholarship will still serve them best even still.

Thats why trolls like you complain about folks like me, I live in the "real" world. If some guys like yourself ever came in touch with the real world you would probably need counseling. Your "world" is all the same color. :p
