As a White male, I felt the sting of systemic racism when I registered for college. I discovered there were numerous grants and scholarships I was not eligible to apply for because of my skin color and gender.

Yet, for those limited number of scholarships and grants I was permitted to apply for, I had to compete against women and minorities.

For the record, I needed financial help as much as most other young people did.

Happened with my son (now in his 3rd year in college). There were many grants he didn’t qualify for because he is a normal Caucasian kid with good grades. It probably surprised him, perhaps this was a first lesson for the real world.

Many others know what you said is true of them, too.

What mystifies me is how anyone can vote Dem after that discrimination?

Or after being mugged or raped?
