So you said what I didn't. Have your kids serve their country and then leverage the GI Bill (and other things) to get their education. Service to one's country, what a novel idea now-a-days...

When you get pulled over for speeding you get a ticket. The U.S. DOJ doesn't call your local police agency and tell them that it's o.k. that your doing something illegal and then reward you with free oil changes and tanks of gas at the rest of our expense.

To be perfectly honest, I derive a bit of entertainment out of it, but mostly I think it's a sad display of how pathetic their lives have turned out and how depressed they are that they find solace in a bottle and by ranting against "them" on an Internet forum. I guess what I'm trying to say is they should put the bottle down and do something with their life.
I have not had anything to drink in over a week. I rarely drink. Think what you want, but I am a married white male who pays a shitload of taxes and I am married to my children's mother.

I have a target on my back and eventually people like me will run out of money for others. Then we will ALL be screwed.

I have served over 20 Years in the Army, Army NG and the Reserves. The GI bill does not get you into schools and when you check "white" in a box it puts you at a disadvantage. I have seen it and experienced it first hand.

I am more colorblind than anyone I know.

And when caught speeding the fines are paid, or jail time is served. When deciding to break a law, you often consider is the reward worth the punishment.

When caught invading this country, many are just let go with no consequences, so of course they're going to continue to break the law.

So you have no problems with a less qualified minority being given preferential treatment.

Omega Man

you are not a racist, as far as I can tell from your posts.

you just don't buy into the political correctness.

those that buy into the PC will do everything & anything to diminish your views and others like you...including calling you a racist among other possible untruths.

see, they can not debate your views with any credibility...so they go after your character...knowing, if they call you a racist enough...perception will make you one.

its part of the libbie...commmie...MO, it's been going on for decades...& getting worse every day.

So do I, your point? I see kids trying to get into school being discriminated against because they aren't a minority.

Lets not even get into the whole financial aid aspect.

Exactly. Then you would vote for him because of what you gave him. No charge for that little lesson in politics.

Actually, if it were explained that simply to many of the morons out there they might actually understand some things...yeah right.

Here is one for you about college. If you are white, there are NO scholarships for your ethnicity. If you are non-white and your parents are immigrants from another country, guess who can get loads of free money for college, they do. I think its unfair. Here I am working through college, to pay out of pocket for my education, not mention some of the taxes I pay is paying for their college. Either we all get free college or they pay out of pocket.

Don't get me wrong, if they EARN their academic scholarship, or athletic scholarship, then by all means its theirs, but don't give them free money because their parents moved to this country, and because of that they get special treatment. What happened to everyone being treated equally, weather its good or bad treatment.

If you think this is racist, you are right. Its racist towards me as a white male. Double standards are bullsh!t

I have to say I agree with stangkiller on this whole subject
