Really?

To win the admissions board's approval at that time, he said, a white applicant had to present SAT section scores higher than 600 (out of 800); a transcript of A's and B's; and a strong background of leadership in sports and student life, reflected in a four-digit score called the whole-person multiplier. Black and Hispanic students were routinely admitted with SAT scores in the 500s; with B's and C's; and lower whole-person multipliers, he said.

Are you hoping that people are unaware of the search function or something?

And your point is what exactly?

I said that I had a problem with white people in that thread?

What, exactly, does this mean then? Perhaps you can clarify.

My father OWED me an education, and i OWED my son an education....even if he hated my guts (and he doesn't). His daughter didn't ask to be brought into the world, he brought her here. Paying some education fees is the least he could do. That ranks right up there with providing a roof, clothing and shelter.

2. You don't have 10k and even if you did, that would be a wasted bet. My path should be easy for anyone to walk in. Now if you're saying that you could walk in my shoes as a black man, well...i'm not even gonna bother with some bullsh*t like that. Close the hole in your neck so you can stop talking out of it.

3. Yea, you are a segregationist sympathizer. You may be a rationalist too, but that's beside the point.

Being technically a "minority", this is the biggest crock of **** I have ever read. I have traveled to places like Eastern Kentucky and parts of Mississippi where you find Whites who are barely literate.

If you could please explain how these people have an advantage over people who are considered non-White, I would appreciate it.

The only people that have been ignorant and semi-racist towards me were Blacks and Muslims.

Clarity what? There's nothing to clarify. That post is in English.

Where did I say that I had a problem with white people in that thread? That's what this thread is about.

You're mad because I DIDN'T say that I have an issue with white people...But if I launched an invective against white people, you'd still be fuming.

So really...what do you want?

Well...As some of you know, I'm quite mixed up. And as such, a few Blacks I've encountered have treated me rather disrespectfully, or as "the other", because I'm not "Black enough" for them.

Good question. It's been my experience that people are either racist or they're not.

I don't have a lot of patience with any level or degree of racism. And that means from ANYONE of ANY color or ethnicity.

It's only relevant if you are trying to stay on topic.
