SAN MARCOS — Colby Bohannan said that when he first applied to college, his family didn't have a huge stockpile of money set aside to pay for school. He found many scholarships for women and minorities, but none aimed at people like him: white men.

"I felt excluded," said Bohannan, a Texas State University student. "If everyone else can find scholarships, why are we left out?"

So Bohannan, a mass communication major and Iraq war veteran, and others formed the Former Majority Association for Equality — a San Marcos-based nonprofit group that is offering five $500 scholarships exclusively to white male students.

According to latest census data, whites are now in the minority in Texas. Why not offer them affirmative action programs and quotas and preferential treatment?

I think that’s the whole point -

pointing out hypocrisy,
and baiting the left to engage in an argument they can’t win.

finally, a man with a chest.

from:
C.S. Lewis:
“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful.” -

There will be no argument. There will be violence.

Sounds good. I’m still waiting for:

The National Association for the Advancement of White People
White History Month
The Congressional White Caucus

Can anyone think of some others?

There’s only one problem with that theory. They don’t attempt to argue anymore.

“There will be no argument. There will be violence.”

Bingo.

Liberals needn’t make logical nor reasonable arguments. They’ll simply brand it racist and threaten violence if there isn’t corrective action they dictate.

Saw this story a few days ago. Before long, maybe we can have our own White History Month, march in White Pride Parades and hold a Miss White America Pageant. Gee, maybe we could even have our own White Entertainment Television network where the shows are all about the white experience. It’s a first step.

They should not give any scholarships to any white males who owned slaves.

You’re right -

they’re slowly coming to the realization that they can’t BS us or the public anymore.

They will get violent next. Historically, this is an inevitability.
