A new scholarship is being offered in Texas, but only white men with a 3.0 grade-point average can apply.
The "Austin American-Statesmen" reports a Texas nonprofit group called the Former Majority Association for Equality is behind the scholarships.
Texas State University student Colby Bohannan says he launched the group after returning from the Iraq war to find there were college scholarships for women and minorities, but white males were left out.
Finally White Males will have an equal opportunity to educate themselves.

I agree. It's perfectly okay to give out scholarships exclusively to certain groups but say it's for white males only and people go nuts. What's the big deal anyway? The people offering the scholarship can give it to whomever they like, they're the ones forking out the money.
(here we go!)
I hope your son get's the best education.
But a question, The highest paying and most powerful/influential jobs in Texas are still held by white males mostly.
How would one balance that equation? Perhaps find out why it's like that, then maybe we can come to a better understanding in regards to a White only Scholarship.
Are White males in Texas better qualified? Perhaps, if that's the case then maybe the time is not yet right for a White only Scholarship? Well until the field is truly balanced?
with all the other minority and female only scholarships you would sure think the opportunity to balance the equation has been here for quite some time now so no offense but I'm going to have to call bullshit on this.

you forget who has held the power in academia the last few hundred years.
no, it couldn't be because historically it was mainly only white males who were the only ones allowed into colleges. women were not readily accepted into public colleges, hence the creation of women's colleges. and let's not forget that it was not until the 1960s where a black woman could even enroll in the university of alabama. white males are still the majority in this counrty, so as a result they would take more of the scholarship money. i have no issue with minority groups having their own scholarship funds. if historically all scholarships were given to whoever was the most qualified then we would not have had to implement things like this.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
do you think the most qualified are getting a fair opportunity for colleges with the current way of doing business
with minority and women only scholarships ? or is just a way to even out the books.

I have no problem with minority only scholarships. They are neccessary. But the last time I checked not all white Texan males were Republican oil barons. Texas has several towns listed among the worst places to live in the US so if someone wants to hand out scholarships where's the problem?
How about raising a smart kid?

Oh... yeah... then, he'll have to be Asian.

Nevermind.
Hail, Hail!!!
Realistically all scholarships should be available to all people, but if someone wants to put stipulations on the money they give out, well then more power to them.

lemme see if i got this
white men were the only ones with college educations for hundreds of years
white men reaped all of the benefits from this for hundreds of years
minorities and women suffered the consequences of this for hundreds of years
white men are still today are by far in the majority regarding salary and position
and we have people here visibly upset with minorities and women receiving scholarships
sad

Unfortunately, your son is paying the price for past wrongs.
If the playing field has truly been equaled, what do we make of the high powered jobs mostly going to white males?
you want to live in the "here and now"
and forget about the "there and then"
because "here and now", it affects you
i got ya
white men are still the privledged
your son can't apply for a shit load of scholarships
because white men fucked it up for so many years
and lemme guess, the "someone" he knew enough to get him a job was white, right?
too bad he could not have done better in school
and received scholarships based on his ability and knowledge
and earn a living based on hard work and education
and not just from knowing "somebody"

doesn't this apply to everybody?
For sure, which brings into question, if that part of the puzzle/problem is yet to be solved, is it the right time for said scholarship to start going around?
The fear may be that with a white only scholarship at this point in time, it will in turn just push other minority scholarships out of the way, since the top of the pyramid is yet to be fixed. In regards to Top Jobs.
As it's been said before, scholarships should go to the people who need it most, who deserver it most would be more accurate, by deserve I mean, how developed is the person applying for a scholarship? Does the person have the mental ability capable of using the education he or she will receive to better this world? Perhaps that is the question that should be asked. Not simply based on skin color,
Easy dude, the "someone" he knew to get a minimum wage job was probably a friend, that most likely already worked there. You have no idea how hard this kid worked in school and neither do I, so if you want to defend your point, you're not going to win anyone over here by belittling this woman's son.
yup
and it could be this way
if white men had not fucked it up so badly that we now have to help the ones we held down for so long

I understand. I wish there was a way we could stop seeing eachother in colors and start seeing eachother by the goals we set for ourselves. That would require time and patience, though, and far too few people exhibit those characteristics.
