It's only racist when the other side does it. When we do it, it's civil rights.

Anyway, the kid should've kept the dough. Did the organization tell him to return it? If not, then keep it. I can't pull up the link for some reason. No one would care about a measly grand anyway if he kept it.

I have a feeling that this story is more hyperbole than anything else.
The black community should just give up pretending to "love" MLK.

They certainly do not follow his teachings.

You're damned right.

He would be extremely disappointed in his people.

The only source of something like this nonsense is the White supremacists who like to spend lies....so I'm wondering where you got your information?

There are MANY scholarships for White students only...but most have been so brainwashed by their bigoted parents that they never seek them out.

No there isn't. It seems that every post you make is nothing but complete B.S.

Glenn Beck is a far superior follower of Dr King than any blacks (or lefties) that I've seen.

You should watch what Glenn Beck says to honor the man.
Glenn Beck has clearly never read much of Dr. King's writings.

As an example, Dr. King endorsed a "Guaranteed National Income". The "Guaranteed National Income" was what Cloward and Piven were attempting to promote. Cloward and Piven the people Beck is always railing against.

No, a giftgiver can restrict the pool of recipients however they want. I once received a scholarship from my carpenters' union local. You had to be a member, spouse or child of a member of THAT local.

He clearly sees him as a socialist, as do I, but that doesn't lessen his message to blacks.
