This white guy in Texas has set up a scholarship for white guys. His names is Colby Bohanan, President of the Former Majority Association for Equality.
If you watch the video, you will see he is challenged by a professor from Columbia University who sums it up: "Being white is a scholarship."
The good news is you can get the White-Guy Scholarship if you are only 25% Caucasian. But applicants do have to be 100% male (I assume).
Former Majority Association for Equality? Poor white guy. It must be so hard to watch the world change into one of diversity where people of all races and cultures have opportunity and you actually have to compete instead of having it fall into your lap.
He says he's not against anyone, just trying to help poor white people. Well, ok. But why not just help poor people. Why do they have to be white?
Back when I was in high school and home sick from school one day, I watched a white supremacist group on a daytime talk show. This one white-advocating woman kept saying she was just fighting for fairness because white people had lost all power in society. Is that true? Do white people not get enough opportunity in this country?
It wasn't true then, and it's not true now.
Racial minorities make up 1/3 of the total US population, but only 17% of the US House of Representatives and only 5% of the US Senate. And while women make up half the US population, they only comprise 17% of the US House of Representatives and US Senate.
White men control everything but the White House. However, since President Obama is 50% Caucasian, he is actually a "white guy" according to Mr. Bohanan's organization. (Which is just weird, IMO.)
Anyway, my point is this: Minorities and women do have more opportunities than they used to and that continues to improve (I hope), but white guys are still in charge of most things. So isn't giving a scholarship to white guys like lowering the basket for LaBron James?
