White only scholarship... boo hoo[views:5825][posts:61]________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 8:35am - xmikex ""] http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/media/...&MIIHost=media.collegepublisher.com A Boston University student group is offering a scholarship for white students. The scholarship itself is only $250, but the point behind it is a protest to "race-based scholarships". I was reading about this in the Metro today. The group responsible said simply that scholarships should be based off merit, and financial aid, not race. In my opinion it's a worthwhile protest, and quite honestly, anyone with a problem with this can eat my ass. Thoughts? |
| _______________________________ [Nov 22,2006 8:38am - Mess ""] i saw it on the news last night. pure propaganda imo. this has been going on with other races/creeds of nature for years now to keep up with the census stats. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 8:42am - Messerschmitt ""] do they make a big deal of it when there's a blacks only scholarship? or if they get special treatment for one reason or another? |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 8:42am - Messerschmitt ""] it's about fucking time |

| ________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 8:57am - xmikex ""] I went to Brockton High (aka 10 billion not-white kids, and me... whatever). I can remember looking for scholarships senior year, and realizing I don't qualify for half of them because apparently I belong to the wrong race. It doesn't have to do with scholarships, but I think this is a story worth telling, and fairly indicitive of the counter-productiveness of shoving multi-culturalism at people... my freshman year at Brockton High the school put on a multi-cultural t-shirt contest. The idea was to design a t-shirt that best represented the diverse atmosphere and attitude of the school. Sounds typical. The shirt that actually won the goddamn thing was a design that simply said "CAPE VERDEAN PRIDE" with a huge Cape Verdean flag beneath it. It left a lot of the white kids asking 'well wait a minute, wasn't this about MULTI-culturalism? CAPE VERDEAN PRIDE only represents one culture. Needless to say we looked like the fucking KKK for bringing it up. |

| _________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 9:35am - Anthony ""] Some Cape Verdean kids got into a shootout right next to our van when it was parked in Dorchester a couple weeks ago. One got killed. A bullet hole went into our side window and the police impounded our van looking for the bullet but couldn't find it. They were like "If you hear anything rattling around in there, give us a call." |

In my opinion it's a worthwhile protest, and quite honestly, anyone with a problem with this can eat my ass. Thoughts? I've always wished there was an official White History Month or something to counteract the stupid notion that whites are not allowed to be proud of their heritage, but instead are to feel only guilty. While I'm no racist, I just can't feel remorse about my forebears essentially conquering the world. If Africans or Indians had the technology and firepower and the Europeans hadn't, am I to believe that they WOULDN'T have had a slave trade? Hell, the Africans DID have a slave trade, but that is quickly overlooked since only white men are truly allowed to be evil. The violent interracial history of the world is water under the bridge, and should be left behind. We should already have learned from it. We don't need White and Black Scholarships or Black History Month or Affirmative Action or any of this nonsense to keep the past rearing its ugly head in everyones' faces. Time to move on, no matter what color you are. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 10:27am - paganmegan ""] I agree, this notion that because in the past certain ethnic groups were "oppressed" that they deserve special treatment, months dedicated to them, is absurd. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 10:29am - the_reverend ""] every month is white male month. |

Slavery, in different forms, stills exists in many African countries today. I staffed this lecture not too long ago that talked about warlords in Uganda that kidnap children and force them to be part of their army. I guess that's alright though by the rest of the world's standards. As long as they don't get snippy about a t-shirt contest it can be overlooked. |

The Pledge of Allegiance, like any school in America, was recited every morning during morning announcements. A lot of kids chose not to stand, and recite the pledge. Many of these kids were what you might call... not white (in fact from my experiences, almost excusively). They sat there, talked over it, and goofed around. Then one day the school invents "Multicultural Week". Every day of this week the Pledge was recited in a different language. Part of it, I guess, was to grab the attention of all the hispanic, and cape verdean kids who never stood for the Pledge. Surprise surprise they recite it in Spanish, Portugese, and Cape Verdean Creole absolutely none of those kids gave a shit. The most ignorant response to the whole thing, however, still belonged to a white kid who said, after the Pledge had been recited in German, "What is this, Nazi Germany?!" |

| ______________________________ [Nov 22,2006 12:53pm - pam ""] I get very annoyed that white people aren't allowed to so much as mention their various backgrounds without some asshole telling them what their "people" did to other people. Shit happens, get the fuck over it. I have family from Scotland...you don't see me demanding compensation from the English. I think gender and race based scholarships started out with the best of intentions. Minorities and women needed these organizations and shit for support when they'd get it nowhere else...I don't think they're needed any more. If you want to give charity scholarships they should be for poor and inner-city students that can't afford a fucking pair of shoes so that maybe they can make something useful out of themselves. Otherwise scholarships really, REALLY should be based on merit. They could even make the system gender and race anonymous so that no one can whine that they don't have a fair shot. |
