"let me get this right, you're pissed because 'the black man' has it so good"
Nice assumption, but no. I'm just saying that having a college fund for only one race, regardless of what race it is, is stupid. Yes, I realize what black people's ANCESTORS had to go through WAS terrible, but that doesn't mean that black people shouldn't have to do for themselves. What about all the white kids who are raised in poverty? what about other minorities besides African-Americans whose ancestors had to go through crap? Singling out black people as the only race that has ever been victims to anyone is stupid, and so is overcompensating by rewarding people who haven't had to go through said struggles just because of the color of their skin. It's ironic, because black people hate that white people get preferential treatment because of their skin color, but a great deal of them apparently don't mind getting preferential treatment themselves. Two wrongs do NOT make a right.

"Caucasians are dominant in this country. They're not part of the minority."
Right. So you think white kids who grow up in poverty somehow have it coming just because of what their ancestors did. It's that kind of attitude that is the reason that there is racial tensiion in this country.
