Texas group launches scholarship for white men ONLY... because they 'need an equal shot'

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

A non-profit group has launched a college scholarship for a demographic it claims are under-represented in society - white men.

The Former Majority Association for Equality will give grants of $500 to any man from Texas who is at least ‘25 per cent Caucasian’, has good grades and can demonstrate they are in need.

Its founder Colby Bohannan claims whites feel ‘excluded’ when they apply to college and that they are ‘left out’ when it comes to funding.

It is not clear how the percentage of ‘whiteness’ will be evaluated but the group’s officers say they will consider each applicant carefully.

$500

With an amount that paltry, this is likely less about helping lower income white men and more about publicity.

Bunch of racist douchebags

Hey, $500 can almost pay for a semester at a junior college... *shrugs*

Either way, good for them!

Time for Whitey to take a stand too!

I mean if the racist ####### of the "United Negro College Fund" can exist, why not this?

I like how they must be "at least 25% caucasian"

Well, what criteria does the United Negro College Fund use to define eligible "Negroes"?

in other words, obama would qualify.

How in the hell are we supposed to demonstrate we are in need?

Not very much $.... I don't see a problem with this as long as they aren't racially motivated in a negative or extreme way.

Based on trends white men will be a minority in the future. I wonder if they will become protected minorities constitutionally when they actually become minority population?

Until we have eliminated all racially based qualificiation criteria or quotas ( which we should for jobs, degrees, college admissions ) then all people of all backgrounds should be afforded the same opportunity without scrutiny.

Can't happen or then there can't be a victimized class of people. Victims get sympathy.
