Minorities and Women need not apply

[FreightTrain]

Looks like a group has started offering scholarships to white men only. I wonder how long this will last before some group calls foul. I looked into the group called FMAE and it looks like they have both women and minorities on the board that decides who gets the scholarships.

If they do something about this, then they'll have to do something about the united negro college fund.

They won't.

After having two kids go through college, I was shocked at how many "minority" scholarships/grants/benefits are out there. Middle-class white people get very little help.

I don't think they limit funding based on race. They just fund individual and partner scholarship programs at historically black universities, which would decide their own specific criteria. I knew an Israeli place kicker from Grambling when I was a kid that got some money from them, IIRC.

Not too well. I was 8 when he was around. He rented a trailer behind my Aunt's house in Ruston while he was in college.

Yes and if you want to be fair, you have to have just as many that offer them to white men, as you offer to minorities, and other genders. Death to reverse racism and double standards.

Get a look at the groups name?

The group, called the Former Majority Association for Equality, was formed by Texas State University student Colby Bohannan and others and hopes to provide four $500 scholarships to white men by July (donations are being accepted via the group's

The brothers probably won't give it up, but here in Texas there are plenty of hispanic business owners that contribute to scholarship funds that are specifically for hispanic kids. There are also special loans and grants your son can qualify for, being half mexican. Learn about them, so when it's time, you will be prepared to apply for as many as possible.

LOL! Whitey will NEVER be considered the "minority" cuz we have all the money! It will be like South Africa. 10% white and still running the show...Then they will call it "apartheid". A honky just can't win! LOL!

If you send him to a historically black college, yes. I'd be more concerned with the quality of degree he gets, though.
