Well…Why Not?

If groups can award scholarships based on color, why can’t white men have them too?   Does the United Negro College Fund give money to white males so they can go to college?  How about the Hispanic Scholarship?  I’m fairly sure those scholarships directed towards women don’t typically hand out a few bucks to the males.  There are even scholarships for Muslims.   We know there are numerous scholarships for athletics.  It seems there are scholarship funds for every ‘group’ under the sun, EXCEPT for white males in the non-athletic type category.  I think it’s high time they get their own fund.  OR, how about we do away with color or ‘religion’ biased scholarships completely, and award the bucks to the most academically promising students?  Just a thought.

An aside: I’ve never understood why they award full scholarships to young fellas who can barely speak coherent English.  Ever watched some of them (not all, mind you….just some) on the idjit box being interviewed after a game?

    I was just talking to my wife about wanting to be controversial when I have money in the future. One of those things I’m planning is a scholarship for white males. Looks like someone beat me to that one. It’s alright, I still have other ideas . . .
