It's an interesting country we live in. Marcus Carter, a Black man, has teamed up with a friend of his, whom he served tours with in Iraq, to establish a Whites-only scholarship. The organization, a non-profit, is called the Former Majority of America Foundation and its goal is to help white kids go to college. What's wrong with that? Possibly nothing (I haven't decided yet), but there is something wrong with appointing a Black man the vice president of such a foundation. Why would he want to be a part of an organization that seems to exist primarily as a jab at his people? This foundation seems to suggest that there are too many scholarships for minorities and not enough for white people. Is this scholarship necessary? There are scholarships and grants (at least in New York State) for low income people of any race or ethnicity. Does there need to be a scholarship with such a confusing message? You be the judge.
