Well we know how whites have achieve everything without any help.All those affirmative action programs like JIM CROW that gave whites LEGAL privileges simply because they were white did not help one bit.And surely no whites are still benefitting from those secondary gains today
Affirmative action programs have far more influence on today than Jim Crow laws.
It is a real shame that the OP chose to mischaracterize the situation.
This young man chose, I repeat CHOSE, to return the scholarship. Rather than discussing the merits of his actions and his qualifications for winning in the first place, people are yet again regurgitating the same tired talking points.

Nonsense. You can't prove that in a million years. You're not in the position you're in because of Affirmative Action, but becaude of your own deficiencies. No one took anything from you.

And white women have benefited from Affirmative Action if as much, if not more than black men.

There are more scholarships for Whites only but I don't feel the need to embarrass you anymore.
If you've posted the same thing over and over (that seems to be a pattern), why embarrass yourself by posting it again? Obviously, nobody cares.

When non-white people stop acting like everybody owes them something by virtue of their ancestors or by virtue of the color of the skin, they'll be treated equally. It's up to them.
That is illegal and if you let it slide, what do you expect of others?
So you were too cowardly to do anything. How is anyone going to change this if you are too afraid to speak up? As I said, this is illegal. You could have changed the outcome but decided not to. What exactly do you think others can do?
Actually I did do something. I told him if he didn't hire my choice is have to quit myself. I left at the end of the week.

This is true..Because today's Affirmative Action Laws STILL help white people.As a matter of fact Affirmative Action today benefits way more whites than blacks

Sounds like an excellent reason for ending them then.
