    Glad to hear it. I look forward to you and others with such concerns making full throated deuniciatons of college legacy programs.

    Rich people go to a lot of universities. I have no doubt that Matthew McConnehey's kids will go to the University of Texas when they get older.

    Consider this, it is a lot harder to get into Texas A&M than it is to get into Harvard, at least from a couple of years ago the last time I looked. Harvard just has that reputation that is more than three generations long. It may not mean the best school for undergraduates depending on your degree, but it has that "prestiege" though. Wheaton School of Business is tops, for a graduate degree. It is about average for an undergraduate degree. A top undergraduate degree in business would be from the smaller, liberal arts colleges in and around Chicago, Pomona College, and a few other small liberal arts degrees. And if you are willing to obtain further education, then the Wheeton School of Business, the University of Chicago and its economic programs, and others are tops, but that is because of academic publications from their staff, graduate students, and so forth.

    Or not big enough of a jerk. You know, not parroting the liberal party line. Last thing these schools want is some conservatives littering the hallways with honest personal opinions. Maybe he refused to view his Arab Heritage through a victimization lens. Of course, that is pure speculation on my part.

    It's not. Race is not the determining factor in all college admissions.

    Try this link, and you will see your chances of getting it. I will give you a hint, it changes with the degree. With Harvard and a student's score, that person has a 1% chance of being admitted with only one scholarship from another competing Ivy league school.

    Don't check it.

    STANDING UP AGAINST BIGOTRY: Missouri State U ‘Business Boot Camp’ That Excluded White Males Challenged By Equal Protection Project.

    'EPP files complaint with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey: “We urge the attorney general to force MSU to make it right, to stop such conduct in the future, and to provide remedies for those excluded for being white males.”'

    RACISM
    'A business boot camp for women and minorities at Missouri State University that expressly excluded white males violated state and federal laws and constitutions, a national watchdog says.'

    '“it appears that the course is part of broader programing through MSU’s efactory and SBDC that discriminates on the basis of race. For example, those arms of MSU recently partnered with other organizations to provide multiple rounds of $5,000 grants, no-cost business training and free one-on-one assistance to business owners who identified as BIPOC.”'

    'MSU’s blatant “discrimination against white males” violates the Missouri Human Rights Act’s ban on racial and gender discrimination. The organization says MSU also has violated federal civil rights protections, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as well as Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, while also violating equal protection guarantees in the Missouri and United States constitutions.'

    “Race and sex discrimination are wrong, regardless of which race or sex is the target,” William Jacobson, president and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The Heartlander in a statement. “It is shocking that MSU would think it was acceptable to single out any group by race and sex for exclusion.'

    “Each individual has the right to equal protection of the laws. The law protects white males just as much as others. The answer to racism or sexism is not more racism or sexism.'

    That's right.

    CONSEQUENCES: Appraiser can sue black professors who accused him of racism, judge rules.

    'A Maryland home appraiser can sue two married black professors who accused him of racism for the way he valued their home for a refinance, a judge ruled recently.'

    They didn't get the appraised value they wanted and claimed the appraiser was 'racist'. Now they can defend their claims in court. The couple accused of being racist, are both professors, of course.

    [​IMG]

    'He sued for defamation based on media interviews the pair gave.'

    'Mott teaches Africana studies and Connolly’s research focuses on racism, capitalism and housing, according to his faculty bio. The New York Times called Connolly an “expert on redlining and the legacy of white supremacy in American cities.”'

    They are racist clowns pretending to be appraisal experts.

    '“Dr. Connolly and Dr. Mott’s ill-conceived ‘experiment’ involving different appraisers, a seven-month gap, and intervening changes in market conditions would not withstand even basic scrutiny in the serious academic environment in which they work,” the original suit against the professors stated.'

    They may be show to be academic hacks deliberately sowing dissension and racial hatred into the community.

    'Both professors should have known their “experiment,” according to the lawsuit, “was serious[ly] flawed in so many respects that a first-year undergraduate would immediately recognize.”'

    The racist theories these folks labor under rot the brain. They may both be dumber, even combined, than a first year undergraduate.

    THEY DELIBERATELY WITHHELD INFORMATION THAT CASTERATED THEIR CLAIM.

    'The professors, according to Lanham’s suit, “failed to disclose the sale of the similar house next door to their home that sold only a month after Mr. Lanham and 20/20 Valuations’ appraisal for $7,000 less than the amount of the appraisal.”'

    So if anything, the appraiser may have slightly overvalued their home. Weird how they left that little gem out of their filing.

    BRIBED BIDEN'S CORRUPT JUNTA STEPS IN

    'The federal government has taken an interest in the case, filing a “statement of interest” in support of Mott and Connolly.'

    What puzzles me is how the black leaders and rank and file were quick to point out racism when whites were getting preferential treatment. Blacks had a right to do that. They were on the right side of justice. They asked for equal treatment. They finally got equal treatment. But now they are getting preferential treatment, yet they never speak out against that. They want more preferential treatment. Why don't they realize preferential treatment is an insult to their intelligence and character? Why don't they admit they are now on the wrong side of justice?

    I think the answer to that should be obvious.

    There may be more than one answer. I would like to hear all opinions. From conservatives, liberals, and blacks. The more we talk about it, the more it is shown to be wrong, and the more equal justice can be served.

    I think conservative and liberal cover all of us. Blacks aren't a different species.

    Especially if it's based on racism. Ivy league is discriminating against Asians like they use to discriminate against Jews.

    You know the administrators of these schools tend to be overwhelmingly liberal.

    Funny how they love to discriminate so much

    The left has no clue how to apply stupid CRT to asian-americans. They are a MINORITY and the MOST successful group in the united states. Its funny to watch them squirm around in their own crappy policies that have zero logic

    They don't have a problem with discrimination of racism as long as it targets whites or Asians

    I wouldn't say it's funny. It makes sense that they discriminate, because they are liberal.

    You should work on that issue.
    I don't grovel before any man or make excuses for their bad behavior. Myself respect demands that I don't allow others to use me for a footstool

    Fascinating that the people who scream loudest about 'merit' never seem to have a word to say about people getting university spots because they have money or connections. 'Merit' only seems to matter when it can be used to club certain minorities....just like women's rights only seem to matter when they can be used to club LGBT+ people and gay rights only matter then they can be used to attack Muslims.

    A cynical soul might suggest Conservatives just appropriate ideas they don't really believe in as a way to defend their own power.

    Yeah, some folks carry a grudge all their life. That's also sad.
