Oh you saw it happening?Do you think they will embrace this adversity program? No way. And that proves what I’ve been saying all along. To the rich we are all n*$##$s.I heard about this on the news and I thought this is a great idea. No longer can whites complain that diversity programs are discriminating against white people. This Adversity Program will achieve the same thing diversity was trying to accomplish. Only this Adversity Program will help any kid who wants to go to school.
So now a universities give kids extra points if they:
a. Grew up in a poor neighborhood with high crime and bad schools.
b. Come from a 1 parent household
c. Your parents make under a certain amount of money
This will help poor kids regardless of their color
13.5% of Americans (43.1 million) lived in poverty. Yet other scholars underscore the number of people in the United States living in "near-poverty," putting the number at around 100 million, or nearly a third of the U.S. population.
Before the mid-1970s, economic growth in the United States was associated with falling poverty rates. If that relationship had held, poverty would have been eradicated in the 1980s. The decoupling of rising growth and falling poverty, however, means that Americans are working longer and harder but becoming poorer and less economically secure
Here are the current U.S. Poverty Statistics released September 2018 by the U.S. Census Bureau . They represent various categories of the population and the percentage of people within those categories in a poverty status (more on Poverty Threshold page):
Adults not working - 31%
Single moms - 26%
Adults with a disability - 25%
Adults without a high school diploma - 25%
Black Americans - 21%
Foreign born non-citizens - 19%
Hispanic Americans - 18%
All children - 18%
Single dads - 12%
Seniors - 9%
Married couples - 5%
Adults with college degree or higher - 5%
Full time working adults - 2%
We both know diversity initiatives did not discriminate against whites. Having said that, you are correct that whites can now stop whining.
They don’t understand a kid with one parent who went to Detroit public schools should be admitted to Harvard over the white kid who was raised by two rich parents who sent their kids to the most expensive private schools or even a good public school in a good zip code. Even if rich kid scored 5 points higher on the act or sat. That adversity matters. The kid living with adversary is probably a much smarter and more deserving kid.
My rich brother admitted the act or sat is rigged. Rich kids get tutored to take the test. They learn if the answer has a ; then that is never the answer. There’s a couple other tips that make rich kids figure out right away the two answers that are definitely wrong. So they only have to decide between 2 of the 4 answers. These tests are timed. Poor kids are at a disadvantage.
There is no doubt there will be those still trying to turn the clock back. Or they will use this designation to deny people of color.
Who are these "people of color" getting denied?
You damn right right if they're dumb as a stump they should not be getting into the college. However, for a couple decades or so they have have been getting admitted anyways in order to defraud the government and taxpayers in a student loan scheme. You see, I was just getting out of school as I saw that crap ramping up. Just as soon as Uncle Sugar promised to back student loans, admission standards got dropped.
Their credit score will suck and they won't have a job, but the college made money hand over fist!
One of my good friends in college was a black guy who ended up being a preacher. He was on a scholarship, he earned it. Those afterwards, notsumuch.
You damn right I did. They started letting people who are not college material into college during exactly that time.
It's disgusting and they are taking advantage of the non-college-material people who will be saddled with debt they really shouldn't owe, and if they don't/can't pay; The taxpayers have to.
Colleges used to deny admission to people that aren't college material. It's a umm..based on merits thing.
