If anything, blacks have it easier. All a black student has to do is have a B average and slightly above average SAT scores and he will get a full scholarship to almost any of the top schools in the nation.

And that's the problem that I see today. My children can compete with any of the other students across the nation today, but because of the bedwetting poverty pimps and race warlords, my kids are left with having to prove themselves further yet. Not only do they have to excel, but they have to excel above and beyond even the high achievers from the remainder of the mainstream students in order to prove that they did not get where they were because of someone's sick sense of tokenism.

God, that makes me furious!

And I shudder to think about how little is required to achieve a "B" average at most public schools.

But you are correct, and I have my own personal experience with such a situation. It's hard not to be bitter about it.

...where they fail out after their first semester and don't return because they did not learn enough in high school to succeed at the college level.
