Student Starts 'United White Persons College Fund'
Matt Coday says he's ready. "I'm fully prepared for the firestorm that's about to erupt," he said. He's prepared for certain controversy over the name of his new scholarship. It's called 'The United White Persons College Fund'. Convinced that white people are discriminated against in the hunt for college cash, he's already raised over $1,000 for his cause. "One purpose of this fund is to serve as the direct antidote to the United Negro College Fund, and other organizations whose primary purpose is to promote the advancement of any one cultural, racial or ethnic group," he said. When I first heard about it I thought it was a joke," said Martin Dorsey, President of Texas Tech's Black Student Association. "If it's genuine then I'm all for it. College is expensive, I know first hand. But if they're just doing it as a retaliation to the United Negro College Fund, then no," he said. "There's a decreasing amount of scholarship money available to me because I'm not black, not hispanic, not native american," said Dorsey. Just how much money is available? A conservative estimate puts the figure at $3 billion, dispersed in 900,000 different scholarships. By comparison, the United Negro College Fund raises approximately $29 million a year. There are over 21,000 white students at Texas Tech, just 818 black. Coday says he's not a racist and would refuse contributions from white supremacist groups. The Black Student Association says they'll wait and see the public's reaction to coday's venture, before deciding how to respond. "I think it's time for a serious debate in this country about what is and is not discrimination," said Coday. |

It'll generate discussion, that's for sure. I still don't think it'll make the liberals understand reverse-discrimination, though.

Before it's all over, this kid will be jeered, laughed at, possibly beaten or killed, sued, and overall ruined.
This will never fly in our lovely PC world/country. He is obviously a racist (not my opinion, but will be of everyone else).
I wish the kid well, he's going to need it (and lots of prayers for his health and wellbeing).
To: TheBattman
They will pay someone from this guys past to come out and say that he said the N-word once, this will in turn negate any ligitimacy this guy has. That is if this guy isnt killed in the next month or two.

If the NAACLP says a black college fund isn't racist, one for whites shouldn't be either. I could care less what Kwaisi Mfume and Jesse Jackson say about this new fund.
To: Husker24
Count on the Leftists to invent the N-word where none exists.
To: Bob Z.
He might need to rename the fund to mimic the United Negro Fund. You need an old racist reference to be like them, so how about the Honky Fund?

May he be successful in this just endeavor and safe. He will probably not only raise consciousness, but he won't be beaten nor harmed, either.

I agree with him.

About time. Amen. Perhaps these scholarships should be given to students attending "historically white" colleges.
To: da_toolman
I don't have much money but I will gladly send him a couple bucks if someone finds an address.

"One purpose of this fund is to serve as the direct antidote to the United Negro College Fund, and other organizations whose primary purpose is to promote the advancement of any one cultural, racial or ethnic group," he said.The word antidote implies the need for eradication. The fund doesn't need eradicating, only the double standard. I humbly suggest using the word compliment instead, to imply equal treatment of another group.
