Scholarship for Whites only

[deutschman]

there are scholarships for every other skin color out there that whites can not get so why cant we have one?
you just need to be a bit smarter about it and word it differently like "college scholarship funds for those of Saxon heritage" or something.

When I was looking for scholarships I found one for almost every race and for a lot of different nationalities. Everyone can get one so whats the big deal with this story?

Right this is the point of it all, sadly this is not how the more vocal spokesmen of all those "victims" will see it.

There's countless scholarships for women and minorites in these parts. Its tough finding a scholarship that a white male can apply for...

How many programs are available to minorities only, I can think of several in my area alone. Why is it that when a black individual is proud to be black he is respected for it, but when a white person is they are instantly labelled a racist?

Seems like flame-bait, but I'm glad someone is stepping up. All these minority only help programs hurt the whole equality thing more than they help.
Anyone who steps up against this is just highlighting themselves as a hypocrite.

Brendan Baird is studying to become a physician's assistant, and a check for $500 will help pay the way.
To win it, he had to demonstrate a high GPA, community service, sports ability and financial need. But what sealed the deal is the fact that he is a white man.

"If anyone wants to say it's an issue of color, it's the color of green," said Baird. "And we all need it."

The award was presented by a group called the Former Majority Association for Equality. Its president, Colby Bohannon, says he has been called a racist and compared to the KKK.

"We're not racists. We have no agenda for bigotry," said Bohannon. "We're not trying to take away anything from any other group. We're just trying to help poor, Caucasian males afford college."

The group's vice-president, Marcus Carter, is black. There are also two women, and an Hispanic man on its board.

"Right now everybody else has their own specific scholarship: Minorities, left-handed people, people who like the color green," said Carter. "I don't feel the animosity of helping this group."

But is there really a need for a white-male-only scholarship?

Critics say while some funding programs are geared toward specific genders or races, others are need-based. One of the state's largest, the Texas Grant Program, is geared toward low-income students.

Over the past decade, the program has spent about $2 billion on 310,000.

Bohannan, meanwhile, says he plans to expand his scholarshp fund to $25,000 for another 5,000 recipients who may need the money.
