Boston University Group Sponsors Whites Only Scholarship
- Thread starter Y-S
- Start date
I personally dont care if they want to give an all caucasion scholarship but do it because you want to, not because you see black/asian/latino people getting one..
lol..If you want to keep it real White people own everything, so when a miniority race finally owns 1 thing it is made a big deal about...Every race is always looking for media/society outlets that represent their race and background..White people dont worry about that because they are on every channel dominating air time and society as a whole..Can you really argue against that?
You brought up BET...black people dont even own BET..yeah it supposed to be catered to the black audience but even if that is the case, you still have white people dominating EVERY other channel but yet you want to complain about black people kind of/sort of having BET..:dead:
Yeah black people have black history month now we are special..White people are the history of America and that is what they teach..Mainly white public schools(or even schools that are filled with minority students) dont go into dept about minority accomplishments, one reason is because there is not enough time in a given semester and 2 some of the teachers/professors arent educated in minority history anyway.There are definitely more reasons but I dont have time to get into those...I dont see anything wrong with minority people wanting to own something in this country especially when popular shows and major decisions dont necessarily represent their voice and culture..
yeah there are Historically Black Colleges and Universities, BUT anyone is welcomed to apply for those schools and different races are accepted as well..My boy is Mexican and he attends Morehouse College which is a HBCU where MLK jr. and Spike Lee went..At least at those schools those minorities(or whoever attends) will get different points of views and learn more than just the history of white America...I feel saddened to say that I didnt even know about Marcus Garvey and what he did for black people until I reached college because his name was never taught to me in school..This has a lot to do with the education system in America. I hate the fact that MLK Jr. is the ONLY black person that is talked about in America like he is the only person who did anything for black people and civil rights in general...I went to a mexican/asian dominated grade school all the way to high school but even Cesar Chavez wasnt talked about much and no Asian person was ever talked about in school..I dont agree with that..something is wrong there...
Im sorry but it's obviously not a concern for American education as we know it today to teach the history of other minority groups, which is why I applaud HBCU's because they are avenues where African American students can go to learn the in dept knowledge of their history...Let's keep it real, by attending school in America you are unconciously convinced that white people invented everything or are repsonsible for every good thing in the world..
I am far from a racist and I do believe in equality and I am never the type to yell out racism when an obstacle is before me..but at the same time I am not naive either into thinking that we are all equal and white priviledge doesnt exist because it does homie, but I understand that because white people have more power and are larger in numbers than any other race(it would easily be the other way around it roles were different but they arent)..I dont blame any white person of today for slavery and a I treat everyone with respect no matter what race you are..I have close homies who I would ride for any day of the week that are Mexican, white, asisan etc..It's not about race with me but at the same time I am not naive to how society works or have worked in the past..

Of course they are equal in their intrinsic value u retard, but try telling that to society today, Its obviously NOT equal. Its obvious there are more whites than blacks or latinos in colleges, whites get the better jobs, look at the government for gods sake, how many minorities do you see compared to whites. I told you its a big game of catch up, as soon as minorities are able to achieve equal statistics, oppurtunities through methods like scholarships to try to get more of them in higher education, and we are able to dig the ignorance out of many white americans out of the shit hole to the point where they can look at us and truly see us as equals. THEN and only then can you even talk about us being equal.
This is true but apparently those white people who participated/participate in that way of thinking dont believe they are equal..with that said, it is still a known fact that white people own this country and to relinquish power would be hard for ANYONE....
I pretty much attended an all predominantly white college and I dont know how many white students there who actually admitted to feeling uncomfortable being in a class that outnumbered them(usually in CES courses which are Comparative and Ethnic Studies)...it was ridiculous hearing a white student say they felt uncomfortable not being the majority because they are sooo used to it and it doesnt even occur to them until they arent anymore..minorities are used to it..They are used to being outnumbered and not having power..It's not that students fault that they felt uncomfortable but it just goes to show how unbalanced our society is..I dont feel white students are forced to deal with racism the same as minority students..This girl who I was dating back in 12th grade is white and latin, but she looks white, she actually told me racism didnt exist and that she thought everyone was equal..Pure ignorance and I love that girl but she was ignorant as hell to what minority people face or even her boyfriend at the time(me)..Her sister had asked her "is he ghetto?" when she told her that I was black..lol..comedy...
While we're exposed to it and forced to deal with it on a regular and especially at an early age, I dont feel white people are exposed or forced to deal with it the same way which is why many of them are ignorant and get roasted in class when they say stuff like "racism doesnt exist anymore" or "people should stop trippin because we are all equal and slavery is over"..lol..I dont blame those students for being ignorant, I blame our society because those students were lead to believe that and no one ever took time to educate them...but anyways comments like that make many minorities feel they arent being heard for acknowledged and especially not taken seriously...it's sad if you really think about it but at the end of the day I wont blame racism for any of my downfalls..i am still able to be successful inspite of it....
With that said we have come a long way as a country because I personally couldnt imagine living in the early 1900's where it was ok and actually "cool" to be racist....

I myself attended a predominately Asian/Black middle school while living in a black neighborhood. The most white students in a class with me was 2-3, but usually I was the only white student in the class. In my 350+ unit apartment complex I was the only white kid besides my brother and there were a few white adults. When high school came I attended one that was predominately white and felt uncomfortable at first lol, but it wasn't race in particular but more of the culture. I had never been in a school with "rocker" students and more preppy types. I am very thankful for the knowledge I gained through the many diverse experiences in my life.
It's for WHITE PEOPLE ONLY! ANd that's racist! Every other race can do as they please, but EVERY last individual WHITE person HAS to be under speculation....
or some retarded, half wit dumb shit like that....
It's NOT racist. That's like saying BLACK ONLY scholarships are racist. That's like calling the FUCKING NAACP a "racist organization"....
Some of you need to get your heads out of the shitter, and treat EVERYONE equally, or shit will ALWAYS be the same...and you will be NO better than anyone you talk down about (and you are that right now anyway, most of you at least--ignorant that is).
NOTHING occurs ALL the time. Every situation is different, which is why people need to SHUT THE FUCK UP, when they don't know the specifics, which is almost ALL THE TIME!
I'm not saying give white people an unfair advantage, but there are POOR ass, broke as fuck white people who do NEED help, JUST like poor minorities. I'm not saying this country is perfect, or anything in regard to other stuff besides this topic...
If you think an all white scholarship isn't fair, then we should just do away with ALL scholarships, and then we'll see who's fucking complaining about, "we want scholarships back, the whites can have them too if we can have them"....GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.
LIFE ISN'T FAIR and ALL of you need to start understanding this, if you don't already. YOU WILL BE FUCKED OVER AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER, probably MORE THAN ONCE! THAT'S LIFE! LIFE SUCKS! FUCKING GET OVER IT!
Or...get off your ass, and go do something productive about it and fight for the equality of all human beings. Otherwise, you're (not you spefically, just people that don't do shit) wasting EVERYONE'S time.

I'm not racist by all means but what about this?
How many of you blacks/latinos had some money put away for you for college? And also had encouraging talks with your parents for your plans after high school?
How many of you caucasians/asians had some sort of money put away for you for college? And also had encouraging talks with your parents for your plans after high school?

I see what you're trying to say but it seems as though you're assuming every white and asian person are rich or have money to pay for college..That scholarhip would be good for low income white students who really need the money for college..I would never be against something like that...Also some scholarships are just out there to reward great academic performances, there is nothing wrong with that either...
Not assuming anything because I know poor folk of all backgrounds. The thing is, I've never known any of my black or hispanic people to have something put away for them towards a higher education from family. Growing up, putting money away for later was never an option, it was all about living now and survivng.
