White Girls Only

Money made at the height of black oppression...

This money that is now being given to white girls, it was made at the height of black oppression.

Should the theme of this wealth continue even today?

Black people were denied access to resources then and this bequest was made at this time and thus perpetuates such thinking.

Should we continue in this vein?

What happened to the policy of giving out scholarships to people on merit? Or is that politically-incorrect for most South Africans?

Obviously there should be some attempt to re-address the past, but white people who do well at school should also be recognised. What is happening most likely is a non-white person with 70% is getting the scholarship instead of a white person who gets 80%. I don't think that is very fair at all.

You make it sound as though there was a time when they were EVER given out on merit...

Maybe you should read the Sunday Times article in the OP.
People are still banging on about how it should be ok to start a white girl only school because "black only" stuff like the Oprah academy exist. Obviously the Oprah academy is not meant for black only but the OP misguidedly thinks so.

What has that to do with amnesia though?

And she did appologise for thinking Ophra's school was only for blacks.
Yes there is black only bursaries. One that was over turned:

And that is the one we where made aware of.


Amnesia is a strange thing. It is not exclusively a whitey thing.

Yep. personal experience. A white girl who passed matric with 6 distinctions battle to get a scholarship and assistance for a loan she has to repay herself. WHY? Because of the color of her skin.
 
The reason why black professional clubs are made is not so that they promulgate black centred racist ideology, it is so that the very few prominent professionals who are in the country can be made visible enough to encourage other black people to become successful professionals.

And why is it wrong if whites do it? Are white children not allowed to be encouraged to become successfull proffesionals?
 
Is the ANC government going to challenge my will now because I left my estate to my three white children? :rolleyes:

I saw a topic about a "White girls only" school, nothing about black organisations per se' . Yet that simple three words have all the MyBB members in a frantic again. How quaint!

They do give bursaries and scholarships to people of all races... i'm not sure what planet you are living on.
All big universities give money to students based on their marks regardless of colour. There are also a lot of private scholarships and those are given to pretty much anyone who they feel deserves it.

That would be deemed racist in the eyes of many MyBB members as well as this ill conceived ANC government and their goonies/compatriots.

Maybe what you begin by asking yourself is why there'd be a need for a similar white organisation? That gets you thinking outside the channel you're forcing yourself into;)

Nerfherder - You are incorrect. Universities are required to follow directives to redress imbalances caused by historical circumstance.

Pretty much? Why include that term? Why do they not TOTALY free to give private scholarships to anyone who they find deserves it?

And while we are talking anout racism - What about Nedbanks Racist shareholder offer?

It might be a problem if you stipulated white ... and then perhaps have a black child (like the Afrikaans recessive black gene).

black organizations.
White organizations.

People that think bequesting my money to the Persian cat association and not to the Moggies has anything to do with them.

Yes, they are white (well kinda yellowy pinkish)... and no I don't have any black (brownish creamish) children. :p

At least... I think they are my kids.
