Okay, so I am not trying to be racist or anything, but who here agrees with me that the black people are getting way more recognition than the whites?
Now we have black history month, black activists month, and negro colleges/college funds? This is just not fair. Everyone believes that if we have a white history month then we will be racist? We aren't. Blacks are getting everything nowadays and if the white people try to put say into anything, it gets shoved back in our face as a racist comment. I love black history and everything, but I have pride in being white and we get no recognition whatsoever? Does anyone agree with me.. And please don't say I am being racist. I live in the South for God's sake. |

"Yet even the university acknowledges that the results of the new system, which gives undergraduate minority applicants an automatic 20-point advantage (on a 150-point scale that provides only 12 points for a perfect SAT score) are no different than the old. As the judge himself was forced to concede: "If race were not taken into account, the probability of acceptance would be cut dramatically."
from http://www.adversity.net/education_2_michu_2.htm as you can see, being black will give you 20 extra points, while getting a perfect SAT score gives you 12 extra points. QUOTE ^ There is one. It's just not as widely celebrated as BHM. Not sure why. And Michigan is just one example. Find me at least three more. so one injustic isn't enough? what if some KKK went into a school and shot all the black students? would you say "that's just there. find me threee examples where the KKK has killed students in school" ? you wouldn't if there were a university that had a 20 point bonus for white, would you want three examples? you wouldn't Justic is not achieved by tipping the scale based on race. |
