White scholarship

http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/...epublisher.com

"Did we do this to give a scholarship to white kids? Of course not," the scholarship reads. "Did we do it to trigger a discussion on what we believe to be the morally wrong practice of basing decisions in our schools and our jobs on racial preferences rather than merit? Absolutely."
Awesome

"La Fuerza Co-Chair Sara-Marie Pons, who is also on the Admissions Student Diversity Board, said although she agrees with BUCR's claim that racial preference is "contradictory to our American ideals of freedom and equality," she feels American history justifies today's affirmative action." Our country oppressed people of color for centuries while everyone else who was 'preferred' continued to succeed and lead our country in all aspects," "

This is the type of thinking that is racist; You're gonna pay me for what your ancestors (may) have done to my ancestors."

It's about time. I can't believe people are ignorant enough to believe this is any different than any other "minority" scholarship.

I have to admit I really like both the point they are making and the way in which they are making the point.

Minority based scholarships should all be changed to non-ethnically oriented needs-based scholarships. I believe in making college availible to those who cannot afford it; associating those who cannot afford it with any ethnicity is certainly racist.

On a side note, the race issue would be more of a non issue if people would stop trying to single themselves out. It makes no sense to blame todays problems on something from so long ago.

How many all black schools are there?
Its racist to have an all white school

How many all female schools are there?
Its sexist to have an all male school

What the F*** is up with that?

The past is past.
The only way to progress is to move forward.
Constantly going back and saying "well this is what was done in the past," is complete BS. If you want things to change, you have to move steadily forward.

Scholarships should either be based on acedemic skill and financial need, not what ethnic group you belong to. On that, of course due to incomes, there may be a larger percentage of minorities in receipt of the scholarships, if their grades are strong, but they need the financial help, then they should get the assistance if they qualify for it.

I get your point, that you're talking about colleges, but there are a fair amount of all male/female high schools out there. More so for males only.

I wish that was the case. Whites are the ones selling out "our own."
