• Fucking assholes in here. Here’s the skinny; we kept slaves as a nation only 150 years ago, not that much time in reality. The children of the slaves even generations later are materially disadvantaged from not only the generations of slavery their ancestors suffered before but the generations of discrimination and poverty they suffered even after they were “freed” by the 14th amendment. Because of this circumstance, smart ass kids have come and gone without being recognized by institutions on the basis of cost, class, and race. This is a move for all the kids the institution knows they would normally pass up and knows that by doing that they rob themselves of possible amazing alumni. They fucking deserve it, and by they I don’t mean colleges, I mean students. Mad about how unfair that is? How about yas go back in time and brutally opress your own cracker ancestors to the point of generational poverty and disenfranchisement. Then come back to the future and find even though you’re intelligent and have the grades it just doesn’t matter and you’ll never know why. Then pray for the majority to toss you some reparations after decades of sneering at the very thought.
