Free Tuition for Black Students = Racism

Sometimes I get a little sick of this town. I love living here, but there are some real nutjobs around Madison. Luckily there's a good balance of political philosophies in the greater metro area.
Anyhoo. This is flat out racist. Giving one race something very valuable at no cost to them, while forcing another race to pay out the *** for it, solely based on skin color. The fundamental definition of a racist policy.
This is ludicrous. If these left-wing nuts feel SO guilty about historical inequalities in treatment between black people and white people, then just PAY for a young black student to go to college! That will alleviate your unfounded guilt! Encourage others to do so if you must. That's a fine thing to do. But don't bully your way into making it policy by threatening to brand somebody a racist in the media if they don't agree with you. NOBODY is stopping YOU from paying for a young man or woman to go to college, and soliciting funds from willing donors to do the same. That's a great thing. But it HAS to be voluntary. You can't FORCE other people to foot the bill for this political activism by doing it by way of government mandated policy. Especially when it demonstrably favors one race over another (which I don't agree with at all, it was racist when it was black slavery, it's racist now).
Equality under the LAW has largely been achieved. It is up to individual black people everywhere, to work hard, study hard, follow the rules, live well, and achieve success. They are no longer encumbered by the racist laws and segregation of the past. But the law CANNOT guarantee equality of circumstance. That needs to come from individual achievement, and it cannot be legislated without ****ing off a LOT of good people, and wasting a TON of money on inefficient government bureaucracy.
