Class action lawsuits for decades of civil rights violations when?
Are private scholarships still allowed? I remember in high school hearing about a scholarship for red heads for instance. I don’t see anything wrong with a private benefactor setting up a scholarship for whatever they choose. Glad this scholarship ended because you shouldn’t have that at a public institution. Granted I know there are a lot of things like this all over the country
Duke is a private university, but it does receive federal money by way of federal student loans. I suspect it gets other public money as well, but it’s not a public university.
As for other scholarships, no clue, but I’d hope no scholarship or opportunity is ever gated on someone’s race. If Asians get most scholarships, so be it.
A private scholarship outside of the school itself can be set up for anyone for any reason. You could have a scholarship for whoever has the nicest dog to showcase that year.
I was just saying if you can have a black only then you should have scholarships across the board. But I agree I’d rather see merit based
Is keeping up the act of profound retardation starting to actually make you retarded?
He's going for the retard scholarship so he needs to keep up the act.
I've said it before but, yeah, he plays it up...but he is legitimately retarded too.
You just messaged me seven times or whatever.
I don’t think it’s an act
This is incomprehensible, even for you. You've outdone yourself, congratulations.
I had to give the chatbot the story topic as context for it to have any idea wtf this guy is trying to say.
Wow. That was transformative. I can actually understand the point being made.
I am going to nominate you for the position of Lead 'Tard Translator.
The job comes with additional access to the second best time machine.
I mean do you never read what you write? You said what's wrong with certain individuals getting into places via only their race? Do you think POCs can only succeed through pandering and charity.
Intellectually I'm not opposed to a benefactor from limiting their charity to certain groups, however we know the rules aren't applied equally and certain groups are being discriminated against.
I get your account is a joke and all that but you as a black person thinking your group can only succeed through the charity of others, is by far more racist than 100 niggers being thrown around here.
Reminds me of Milo's "Straight White Male" scholarship, or whatever.
Which in turn (off topic) reminds me of one of the nastiest things our opponents ever did (which is quite the bar), when they ruined Milo for "pedophilia" for him justifying and rationalizing...the rape of himself as a kid. That was pretty rage inducing; they actually canceled the dude for not wanting to paint his own rape in too bad a light...while these same fuckers simultaneously argue that kids can consent to sex. The double standard made the whole thing extra disgusting.
English, motherfucker.
You are so stupid. Civil rights are rights that protect people from government. I guarantee no one here is/was/or will be against civil rights. The 2nd Amendment is a civil right, you simpleton fuck.
And if you read what I wrote and could comprehend a fucking thought, I'm not opposed to race specific scholarships, I'm opposed to them be denied to certain groups while others get them.
We've talked about free association before. I'm fine with "affinity spaces"
What was your English SAT score? I'm just curious.
I don't know what your being homeschooled has to do with SAT scores.
What's the most difficult book you've read?
Mine was Brothers Karamazov. I need to read some more Dostoyevsky as an adult but that was a grind back in 11th grade.
Did it have a gold spine and a lot of pictures?
