[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOt a single poster has said that blacks should stay in their place. What's being said is that blacks, same as whites, should get preferential treatment only IF they have been disadvantaged by a lower-income background. The posters objecting, all liberals I assume, want to make sure ONLY blacks should be given an advantage in admissions, and lower-income whites (even those with excellent grades in school) should be satisfied with community college. Sounds like posters are telling the "white trash" (a phrase used by some liberal here) to stay in their place.

As the child of a poor white who excelled academically and was therefore given admittance to a tuition-free college (they still exist), I am thankful that race was not a factor in the admission decision but rather the combination of financial neediness and outstanding scholastic ability. That is how it should be. A system that gives priority to middle-income blacks over lower-income whites with better grades should be abolished.

Well said.

It is sad to see how many posters either don't get this or simply prefer to distract us to protect the unfair and racist status quo.[/quote]
