New scholarship created for whites only

[DIRT]

This is taken directly from the US Census Bureau website. As difficult as it may be for some to come up with a valid argument based on facts, arguing with facts is much better than "And don't tell me welfare dumb a$$. If Blacks are only 12% of the population how are they using all the money?"

This quote is made with regards to social program participation.

"Whites had significantly lower participation rates than Blacks, and persons of Hispanic origin4 had rates intermediate between Whites and Blacks. About 38 percent of Blacks participated in major assistance programs during 1990. The comparable figures for Whites and persons of Hispanic origin were 11 and 33 percent, respectively."

So based on this I would say that 38% of a certain demographic participating in a major assistance program during 1990 is a bit of a pattern.

Guys, it's a $250 dollar scholarship. It's symbolic and created only to get people discussing the hypocrisy of creating a scholarship that is only attainable by certain races, when that in itself is racist.

Looks like it worked.

$250 barely buys two books for class it's worthless.

What all of you are saying is good in theory but isn't the way it works in the real world. If someone started a WET network Al Sharpton and his ilk would be all over it for the publicity, you know this to be a fact. There would be massive protest by black Americans, maybe not EVERY black American. The NAACP lawyer pukes have made things so politically charged with their sue- happy tactics that the idea would never see the light of day anyway, so the point is moot. Look at all the discussion that a $250 fictitious scholarship garnered on a damm aviation web board, think of something along the scale of a television network. What kind of outcry would you get then?

DIRT,

Based on Capt Tex's reply to my post it's clear that he's a quick tempered liberal wacko and like most liberals you'll just confuse him with the facts.

I wouldn't waste valuable time responding to him (or her).
