It's ok to give all races aid (if they "really" want to go to a black colleges..... 'most don't'), but what about the black students. I almost quit college, now I'm at a white college cause they're the only ones that would give me financial aid. The black colleges I attended basically through me out because they wouldn't give me aid, (or even try to). Even though I graduated with a 4.7 on a 5.0 scale, I really wanted to go to a black college. They just didn't want me. If you've experience this in colleges please tell your thoughts (whether whites at white colleges or blacks at black colleges)

White students get financial handouts at all colleges for grades and SAT scores lower than mine, why am I not able to take advantage?... Because I'm black.

Many blacks actually want to go these racist white colleges, where as many whites that get free aid from black colleges don't want to go there, they just take free aid. SOOOOO Different.

You're right!! I went to Tuskegee University (private black University) And whites were getting free aid left and right! I left because they promised me aid then when I got there they told me that I didn't have anything. I was ranked 7 out of 512 seniors in my graduating class. I had a 3.91 GPA out of 4.0 scale. What's up with no aid from these Black colleges. That's why when white kids get mad because blacks with lower grades take there place at white colleges. Well the same thing happens with us blacks at black colleges, now you know why this happens, because we have no other choice. Maybe you all can go to a black college. I bet they'll accept you with flying colors.

That's not true. I graduated from a black college and received financial aid every year I enrolled and it wasn't a problem. Did your parents carry you on their taxes? Maybe they saw their wasn't a financial need for you to receive much aid because maybe you or your parents made too much money. I was a poor, broke college student so they gave me money with no problems!

It's called the tyranny of the minority. When you're a minority, you can demand a large piece of the pie. When you're in the majority, there's not enough pie to go around.
Just think about farmer subsidies. A century ago, they would've been unthinkable, since so many people were farmers.

Maybe because a "black university" is racist and can't get special funding. Can you imagine the outcry if there was anything remotely like a "white university" that catered only to white students? Why is it that blacks like yourself are ALWAYS looking for handouts.

Could it be that the black college just didn't have the financial ability to help you?

"white" university give lots of aid to minority students to attract them to their school, in hopes of creating diversity.

Because with a black college, blacks are not the minority, other races are.
