Affirmative Reaction: Texan Wins Scholarship Exclusively Offered to White Males

There are thousands of different academic scholarships available for those in need coming from traditionally underrepresented demographics in higher education. But what about poor white males? Do they not deserve an opportunity to go to college if fiscally restrained? The Former Majority Association for Equality has awarded its second of five academic scholarships to Brendan Baird based off his demonstration of a high GPA, community service, sports ability, financial need, and the fact that he is a white man. Fox DFW:
While the scholarship right now is just a $500 check, the Former Majority Association for Equality plans on expanding their scholarship fund to $25,000 to another 5,000 recipients who may need the money.
“Right now everybody else has their own specific scholarship: Minorities, left-handed people, people who like the color green,” said the group’s vice-president Marcus Carter, who is black. “I don’t feel the animosity of helping this group.”
What do you think of the scholarship? Bigoted, unnecessary, or about time?

Posted on July 3, 2011 at 8:59amI was thinking the same thing. No scholarship should be about race. I don’t think we should have a “Black Caucus” in our governemnt or affirmative action either. These things should be about the most qualified period. We’re supposed to be a melting pot, melt already!

That is why government employees are so fast, and courteous.

Posted on July 2, 2011 at 10:47pmEvery race in the world has their own ethnic pride group, scholarship etc. But now when Whites want to start one it is racist. We need to start more groups like these to support our own kids and end this affirmative action nonsense. Let’s see how long affirmative action lasts when Whites become a minority in this country! It will probably be done away with. Some of these minorities are some of the most racist people in the world but they want to continue to blame whites.

Report Post »As we (whites) have more and more of the diversity (which is code for affirmitive-action discrimmination) agenda shoved down our throats, we will become more and more agitated until we take action. Do not listen to any anti-Tea Party talk such as they are racist, etc. Anyone, including the Socialists and Marxists, know that is not true. It is, however, a threat to their attempt to divert America to a Marxist state.
Do you Americans realize what is at stake here? One-World government is the goal. Your rights will not come from God, but Man. Think about that for a minute!
