Please give me your answer, a reason, and what race you are.
Im doing this cuz Ive been sick and tired of the reverse racism in this country and after hearing "black leaders" try and make the Oregon?/Boise St thing a "race" thing and the seeing the announcers on TV proudly talk about a "black" college I think enough is enough.
I think starting a "white" college would be a good place to start so the world could see the outrage when something is geared towards whites. Yet when a club excludes whites its no big deal. Black Entertainment Televison???? PLZ , could you imagine if I started WET, white entertainment televison, Id be the biggest racist ever. And save your "thats what NBC is!!" NBC is called National Broadcast Company, not WET. Hate it when people try to make that argument cuz its just a lie.
Anyways, gonna take a vote to see if im in the majority with the way I feel, > > > >> or am I the racist bastard!!!!! LOL, just kidding but please,'I'D APPRECIATE INPUT!!!!!!!!
Just to throw in my two cents without reading any of the other posts.
#1 Yes, if you are starting the college simply because there is(or want to oppose) a "black" college, then yes it is racists. Remember these colleges were started because black people or colored people (including Asians, Native Americans, etc.) were not allowed to attend a "regular" college. Over the years this of course has changed as well as the term "black" college to "Historically black" college, since all institutions allow anyone to enroll for years now. People still hold the perception that white people, or anybody but black people can attend these colleges because in fact they really don't care, they would just like to point out the "reverse racism" without knowing facts.
#2 The NAACP & UNCF existed out of nessecity. Yes the number of opportunities has pretty much evened out over the years but these opps weren't always equal. These organizations may be outdated and should probably dissolve and become new organizations for all underprivileged, the NAACP covers all minorities.
#3 I do hate when ass-clowns like Al Sharpton use any national issue to speak on behalf of all black people. Sharpton is a camera seeking publicity person with bad hair. Why did I see this guy every time someone was talking to the Jackson family when Michael Jackson died. When the hell did this guy hang out with Mike?
#4 BET hasn't entertained black people since 2001...
#5 I do remember a few years back some organization developed a scholarship for white students. I thought it made a good point that if you're going to have scholarships specifically for Hispanics, African-Americans, & Native - Americans, why not Caucasians too. And they did it to point out that this is ridiculous and all scholarships should go to the best student period. Universities started doing this to show they were pro-active in getting everyone an education, but these days I think it's a slap in the face and the question is when did we cross that line? 15 years ago, I would've been all for it because I didn't see any white people in as bad a situation or struggling as much as anybody I knew, but these days I see plenty almost worst off than we ever were. My mom worked her ass off for us, now I work my ass off for me, but everyone deserves help every so often.
To sum this up, if you want to start a "white" college out of spite, then yes it is racist. But I'll bet they'll have the best meth...

I'm Black if you hadn't figured that out...
