Anyone looking for a schlorship?

You are really one sided, just because you are black doesn't mean you get the scholarship. There are other requirements such as gpa, sat, or act and even an essay. I am not sure of all the requirements, but the fact that the white student was rewarded the scholarship proves that they are looking at more than race. So by meeting their guidelines or requirements the scholarship is earned.

There are other requirements, but being black is the first and most important requirement.

Did you even read the article? It said there was internal arguments about whether they should give the kid the scholarship. THEY DIDNT KNOW THE KID WAS WHITE UNTIL THEY AWARDED IT TO HIM.

Yes I do. Please explain what is the difference? Is this not discrimination between majors? Also, I never said discrimination leads to equality, that is how you interpreted it. If someone feels that a majority of a race has better opportunities than another race and wants to assist in helping his race attain more, why do you care. As I said in my first post about the article I read, 74% of scholarships went to white students. Meaning 26% is shared between Hispanic, Black and Asian students. Maybe they didn't earn it, but if they didn't have scholarships for certain groups, that 26% would be much lower. Which in the long run Would lead to more uneducated minorities not being able to attain a professional or executive position. This is a short synopsis of what I mean by (The MLK scholarship was created to help his people so that equality may be possible.). Do you think that would be better than minorities having their own scholarship.

You are either looking for a fight or are dumb as a brick. I just dont know which one yet. How is racial discrimination in away way similar to a professional association giving out a grant or scholarship to someone in that major?

Whites get 76% of scholarships. Now show me the stats that tell us what percentage of college students, by race, apply or and qualify for those same scholarships.

Now I agree with this in certain aspects. Concerning the white student winning and being awarded the scholarship, I believe as long as everything checked out his application and all requirements were met he should get to keep it because that was the scholarships fault. If it says directly you must be black and that was a requirement then he should have to return it.

If it said you must be black, that is a discriminatory organization. I would expect to see Sharpton and Jackson all over this one demanding they be shut down.
