If there were, or ever had been, a situation in which whites were historically excluded from higher education, and you needed to set up a fund so that they could go to college, it would be incumbent upon you to do that.

Can you imagine how that would go over?

I'm sure groups wanting affirmative action to promote equal opportunity would come knocking on the school admission office's front door within hours!

Yeah. I feel so sorry for those poor, put-upon white guys. They never get any breaks or advantages. They have such a long history of being ignored by affirmative action plans and minority support organizations. And they're so afraid of setting up a "White College Fund" because they'll be called racists! How sad!

Where are the white Jesse Jacksons? Where are the white NAACPs?

[/sarcasm]

Don't be so pathetic.

Nope February is white history month too. It seems that I must be reminded every February that Lincoln freed the slaves- a group of people that he felt was inferior to whites
