I’d really like to hear the argument against this.

I think that’s the whole point -

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

There will be no argument. There will be violence.

I was listening to this topic on a DFW talk radio program this morning. None of the usual suspects (callers that play race card) had anything negative to say about this. One of the more mouthy usual callers even said that on a local black radio talk show, they supported this guy's actions.

I'm sure Sharpton and Jackson will see it differently.

It only predominantly serves to make a statement and not much more. To be considered black, one only need a fairly small percentage of black ancestry. Most people who are designated as African American have some percentage of white ancestry. Thus, most “African Americans” would be eligible for the white scholarship. The accepted trend of the label of “white” being reserved for those who are nearly pure white hampers the notion of a white scholarship and since black scholarships are not reserved for those who are “pure black”, the white scholarships must mirror them.

Also, several public historically black universities have been providing scholarships to whites under pressure to diversify but whites overwhelmingly decline to go to these universities.
