Number Six

A Particularly Cheap White Whine
By Tim Wise

1. "In truth, only 3.5 percent of college students of color receive any scholarship even partly based on race, suggesting that such programming remain a pathetically small of the financial aid picture in this country, irrespective of what a gaggle of reactionary white folks might believe."

• Most of the students that go to college have a reason and acually want to be there.  Students just dont go out and say that oh because there is a scholarship for black people im going to go to college. Its not like that at all.  I don't believe that we should get mad about it because theres scholarship for whites and blondes with blue eyes and more.  The people who make the scholarships arent trying to be races they are trying to be fair.

1. "In terms of ideology, racism is the belif on the inherent superiority/inferiority of one race to another, while institutionally it refers to polices, practices or procedires that have the effect of perpetuating systemic inequalities between the races, and which deny persons of a particular race equal oppertunity with those of other races."

1. "Black students are far more likely than white students to come from lower-income families, and in fact, at selective colleges and universities, the average black students comes from a family with half the median income of the average white student."

• This is right and wrong in many ways.  This quote is stereotypical.  There are black families out there that do come from money.  I disagree with this quote very much.

This artical was an easy read for me but there was some things that I did not agree with.
