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
Texas College Scholarship Targets Only White Male Students - FoxNews.com

Sounds like some of you folks should create your own scholarships.

How about blaming the media and internet for the destructive weather as of late?

The rule for all non-athletes is simple...all YouEssofMeh residents can graduate from college broke...regardless of how they started. One of the reasons college tuition is so so high is that much of it is redistributed from those who can pay to those who cannot. True dat.

I worked my way through college also. That was the reason I joined the Army. I stayed in though to ensure I gave back more than I got.

I know it sucks, but you WILL be a better (and bitter) person for it. People like me admire people like you who are willing to work for what you want.

Keep plugging away at it.

You can call yourself whatever you want Omega Man, but you're an asshole. Someone politely asked you to stop using a specific word and you more or less told him to f- off and continued to disrespect him by using the word. Respect is earned, not given.

OmegaMan, you are not a racist.

You are, apparently, a Faggotist, though.

That's right! I wanna be referred to as a Youth Challenged Individual instead of an Old Man!!

So from now on I am a Youth Challenged Individual fecker, instead of an Old fecker!!

All this political correctness bullshit is just a form emotional abuse and passive agressive behavior! Demanding political correctness is just another method that aggression and abuse can be poured on to the perceived "Man."
Recently a young woman I work with told me of something that happened to her MIL. The woman started working in an office in which she was a distinct minority (white) 90% of the other women in the office were black or hispanic. She tried to be friendly and treat them just as she treated everyone else.
Her office manager came to her one day and told her, "You should not refer to the other women who work here as "girls" because it offends a black woman to be called a girl." She was crushed, I know this woman and she is a very kind sweet woman who doesn't have a racist bone in her body, yet her Office Supervisor called her a racist (and wrote her up) because she treated the women she worked with the same way she treated everyone else. All she did was to say,"have a good weekend giirls!"
So now she won't even speak for fear of offending somebody.

I think everyone should work for what they want, so no need to admire me. I shouldn't be rewarded because I have work ethic. If I want to better myself that is all on me. I have more self respect then to just do nothing and stand on the corner with a cardboard sign. Why we give hands outs to one group instead of the other is nonsense.

So what did this other person do to earn OM's respect so that he wouldn't use the term "faggotry"?

I don't like people who skirt the system and refuse to pay taxes and their fair share.
I don't like people who will not correct their kids (white, black, brown, tan or other color).
I don't like people who come here illegally and have babies so that they can stay in this country, and I don't like the fact that I have to pay for their medical bills.
I speak english, and I expect that language to be taught and spoken in the schools that I am paying for and that my children attend.
I don't like other people disrespecting the Flag of the United States (I know what the court ruled, but I don't have to like it).
I don't like people who let their country go to shit and then move here and try to turn it into the place they left.



And finally, I don't like ChasC5 and that is why he is on my ignore list.


So, do you think I am a racist?
I agree with all that is stated so I guess whatever you are, I am too. It is not geared toward any specific race, so I can't see how it could be racist. It seems to take any illegal or ignorant activity in to consideration and that looks like it could just as easily apply to ANY and ALL races. Remember, many foriegners are white and this would (should) apply to them too so again, it is not racist.
