And yet you did not feel the need to express this exact sentiment to the OP who actually is sitting around whining, looking for handouts and being lazy.

Because he wants the same treatment as the rest of the world gets? I guess he thought that sitting around, whining, and being lazy was the way to get it?

After all. That's how they got it, right?

Been going on since LBJ and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Not only in scholarships but admissions, job hiring, promotions etc etc. Welcome the the New USA. It's not how qualified you are but the color of your skin that matters.

Pretty often but racists like to say otherwise. They like to blame you because of what happened to their great-great-great....-great grandparents.

Academic scholarships are the best to get, are your grades good? Are you involved with any organizations who may offer a scholarship? Some local businesses also might provide scholarships. If you have low income, you may also qualify for state and federal aide and/or loans. You might also want to consider going to a state school to keep costs low. Be sure to pick a major that has a good return on investment. Hint: Don't pick a liberal arts degree.

Yes, there are many scholarships and programs devoted to minority demographics to help them get into college, but help for the white man is out there.

His question was pertaining as to why there are scholarships specifically for minorities but not for whites. That's what I responded to. My other responses were in direct response to yours.

It happened to me yesterday at Sams Club gas pumps.

In NJ, you cannot pump your own gas.

I asked for a fill up.

One attendant (black man), not courteous at all.

While my vehicle was about halfway full, a car with two black women pulled into the spot next to me. He turned into the friendliest guy in the world.

While my car finished pumping, and he just stood there looking at me, holding the nozzle in his hand in the other car.

I exited my car and took the nozzle out and placed it back in the holder, with him yelling "hey....you ain't supposed to do that!"

I ignored him and got back in my car and left.

He was trying to make the point...."I'm black, you're white, you will wait."

It really depends on the environment. Where they live or work or socialize.
