Boston's College White Scolarship

The College Republican Club at Boston University has stirred up whirlwind of controversy last week announcing the establishment of a new whites only scholarship.

According to the khaki wearing Boston Republican's the "worst form of bigotry confronting America today is race based scolarhsips, not poverty, not unemployment but race based schoalrships.

Boston University's College Republicans also circulated an application for a "Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship" that requires applicants be at least 25 percent Caucasian.

I would dare to guess that most African Americans on campus are 25 percent Caucasian.

They go on to say "Did we do this to give a scholarship to white kids? Of course not," the scholarship reads. "Did we do it to trigger a discussion on what we believe to be the morally wrong practice of basing decisions in our schools and our jobs on racial preferences rather than merit?

I guess I would ask what about eliminating any kind of preferences?

I hope the Boston College Republicans also rejects scholarships based on politial preferences since ones political party or leanings alone will not tell us much about merit(oops no Heritage scholarship) and given that being Jewish is both an ethnicity and faith I guess no Jewish scholarships either.

I also hope they reject the Irish, Asian ,Italian and German scholarships awarded to white kids every year.

It would seem to me that the guerrilla tactics learned at the Young American for Freedoms is getting old. The truth is that affirmative action is here to stay and not going away any time soon.The majority of these scholarships are privately funded and non-for-profits who alongside race must have certain other requirements before one can sign up.

The idea that black students are given money just for being black is ridiculous and a mockery of every black student who is in college and working hard to stay there.

Was not the appointment of the RNC's new president Sen. Mel Martinez simply a race based appeal to Hispanics??

In there daring effort to make a point the Boston Republican party made the stronger point of affiliating the Republican Party with an image of racism. I believe that the College Republicans no doubt meant well, I am sure they read books like Dinesh Dsouza's "Letter to a Young Conservative" where he promoted using guerrilla tactics to make you're voice heard.

At some point one must determine the sucess of the point being made, or is the point being used as fuel to tag Republicans as racist.

If anything the College Republicans may have done a great job in conveying the false stereotype that Republicans are racist hypocrites. The fact that the Boston GOP slammed the College chapter for this is an example of how very split the GOP really is.

Boston Republicans tend to very tolerant, so it must have come as a surprise to the states GOP that its college chapter was going nuts.

I am sure that most of these kids got these ideas as I and others did from attending CPAC and YAF events.

The only option is for a separate independent Republican students club for those who care about the party to form a counter College Republican group, to counter the hijacking of the older group.

I hope that the Boston College Republican's will give us a summary of how well they performed and how racial reconciliation was made.

With such success in comabatting the"worst form of bigotry confronting America" leaders of the Boston College Republicans can now use those same guerrilla tactics and get a cushy job over at the Republican National Committee's black outreach program.



This is a pic of Boston College's Republicans seen here taking a picture with Tucker Carlson.

Given there recent outreach to minorities on campus this picture should be a little more diverse by spring.

If not then maybe thesre guys should consider another tactic.
