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?

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.

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?

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.

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."

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.

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.

haha all I can think of is that Madball song Back of the Bus, but no one wants to hear me talk about that.
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.

another fun annecdote about cultural pandering at Brockton High. 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?!"

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.

and to answer you question, they absolutely do not make a big deal about black/hispanic only scholarhips - and they absolutely have plenty of them out there as well.

Normally, I hate reverse racism, but I think an organization should be able to give away cholarships to whoever they want.
If BET raises $30,000 to give away to black kids, I think it's gay, but I don't think they need to be forced to stop.
I don't, however, think financial aid and schoolastic bodies should favor students of color.
That being said, I'm going to school for free for being Maori. and some third party isn't paying for it, but the state of Massachusetts is waiving my tuition fees...
So I guess you could say I'm contradicting myself.

Going to school in general is gay. Ignorance is bliss.

yeah, give the scholarships to poor inner city kids who can't afford a can of RC cola, yet whose only goal in life is to accumulate more xxxl scarface shirts. 85% of black kids dont could give a shit about an "edumacation"and wouldnt do anything with a scholarship. you're dumb.

Uh, since you're obviously not a collegiate individual, allow me to explain what a fucking scholarship is. YOU HAVE TO MAKE GOOD GRADES TO GET ONE. You have to apply and write essays and show some kind of academic perseverance. So obviously these kids (who aren't all black you ignoramus) would care about more than xxxl shirts if they're working their asses off in school.

"Good grades" is a flexible term, and getting "good grades" at an inner city school involves showing up. If you're a minority student, you will be aggressively courted if you have any potential at all.
The problem is that poor whites get slighted, but we all know that multiculturalism has never worked and never will. Only Jews and Christians advocate such insane practices.

That's why I said it would be much better to make applications race-anonymous. But I was saying if private organizations want to PRIVATELY raise money and hand out a charity scholarship, they should be able to and not ever poor person is some ignorant nigger with no chance.
[Nov 23,2006 12:57am - infoterror ""]
Other than the fact that the races should be separated, I'm in rough agreement. Race-anonymous applications work 100% in homogenous societies
