    Harvard University Offers Free Tuition For Low Income Families

    I told the children study up hard a college like Harvard awaits.

    Peace

    That is awesome. It's something that should happen more often. Believe it or not, there was a time in this country where a college education was free.

    Agreed, that's very well said. I also got through school on student loans, still paying them off eons after graduating. But while the gesture would have been greatly appreciated, a $500 scholarship like the one in question just wouldn't have made that much difference: we're talking less than 10% of tuition in a single year (in a Canadian uni). I know that every little bit helps, but this isn't much help.

    That's true and many today say we are becoming a socialistic country.

    hey g
    couple things
    it's very hard to comprehend you thoughts
    what is brown pride?
    what race do you assume i am?
    you say this country was "founded" by white people
    and then you show anger when people tell you the white men stole it from the indians
    why deny?
    btw
    i never said that white men stole the usa from mexico
    that is not even possible
    and finally
    if you understood anything
    you would be able to tell that i am not against white men getting scholarships
    i am against minorities and women being held back by white men
    which happened not so many years ago
    and still continues in many forms today

    ok
    here's the plan
    let's educate only white men for hundreds of years
    let only white men gain knowledge, money, and power for hundreds of years
    let only white men write and enforce the laws of this nation for hundreds of years
    and then
    when the shit hits the fan
    and everyone finally understands that what the white man was doing was wrong
    let's just ask for a system where only the best qualified gets the scholarship or job
    and forget about the hundreds of years that we did not educate or even recognize
    minorities or women
    sounds great

    So what your saying is you don't want things equal???
    Sounds racist to me...

    Ed you said the white man fucked things up right ? I suggest you look around some other country's and count your blessings, continually complaining about the white man is so common with minority groups,the same groups that are offered scholarships and other benefits exclusive to their race only but it's never enough and the comment "the white man held me back" is straight up bullshit.

    dang it I was pissed off and now you made me laugh ! thanks :D
    I must admit I believed that you were or are a minority (Mexican or Indian) but that don't mean squat to me, it's most of your comments on this thread here that seem very anti white but anyway in todays world if a man is held back it is nobody's fault but his/her own and it's been that way for a long time.

    inmytree, again it's just not good enough is it,so what would be the ideal answer or situation ?

    take a look around man, I have been denied a few things because of my skin color but I kept at till I got what I wanted, and besides why are people being blamed for something they had no part of ?...I don't know about you but this stuff was happening before I was born and never had any part of it but sense I'm white I guilty ?

    you can't have it both ways, advocating a scholarship program for white male students only is still advocating racism AND sexism.
