Available Scholarships - Need More Minorities To Apply

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does. Pass this scholarship information on to anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarship use to minorities, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest.

You don't think that is racism. Let's not give that money to any other deserving kids. If its not a minority, let's give it back. I'd love to see what would happen if there were a scholarship where only white folks could apply. The whole f'ing world would come apart.

No because of these words here "there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarship use to minorities,". Seems to me that the companies and organizations could make the money available for who ever they choose. Just because they choose to give their money to minorities does not make it racist.

As for Bush and the University of Michigan issue, to me that is a case of this statement:

Quote:First of all affirmative action is not about hiring less qualified minorities to take jobs away from qualified white males. That is the assumption that is always made and it is incorrect. When it was used in that manner, you can look at your own white brethren who f-ed that one up because probably like swoosh they know so much about us po' black folk.

I personally believe that all students should have to meet the same standards for admission. Universities changing their standards for minorities is the same as politicians using welfare to get black votes. Both of them are wrong and hinder the people they are supposedly trying to help.
