Non-hispanic whites comprise 63 percent of the population.
Blacks are 12%.

What black racism? Where are black people in the US in a position to systemically oppress white people? Do you mean bigotry?And that has to do with black racism, how?
They are and they're getting them at a rate near their representation in the population The only issue I have is white people complaining that they're somehow being discriminated against.
Culture has to value education for education to be sucessful.And when I hear people complain about their lack of a college education because they didn't apply themselves...I am dumbfounded. The system isn't rigged against race. It is rigged against poverty.
I disagree. I don't think getting a college degree is any different for a poor black person than a poor white person. Assuming both have no way to pay for it? That means they both have to work a job, take a loan, join the military, or apply for scholarships. The part that is unfair, but a sad reality? We are asking 9th graders to make decisions that will impact them for the rest of their lives.
But hey...not everyone is going to be rich. And nobody said life is fair. Work hard or don't. The consequences will be the same for either race with the same amount of money. I was fortunate that my father worked his ass off and got a degree. His father was in the military and a small business owner who couldn't pay may dad's way through school. My dad was in debt for YEARS, and mother worked him through school too. And now I'm doing basically the same for my girlfriend (and soon to be fiancé /wife as soon as I can afford the damn wedding) and her doctoral program.
Why do people expect to get something for free or something?

Facts? You want facts? The fact is that this...
"To begin with, Just the title of their mob, “Black Lives Matter,” is racist because it eliminates every other race of humans and awards the black race with the only lives that matter and claims, by the mob’s name, that the lives of every other race are inferior and don’t matter."
...is not just a logical fallacy, it's a lie, a blatant lie, and intended to inflame the situation.
If I say that Asian babies are cute, will you say I don't think white babies are cute?
That crappy, superficial ploy is as old as internet discussion- reduce a statement to an absurdity and then argue against it. But in this case it's worse because it's intended to make a bad situation worse.

I'm not a rightist, I'm a "LIBERAL" and I say it's truth! Opinions like yours are a dime a dozen. Try posting some facts to dispute anything I posted in my OP.
Which culture are you referring to?Our culture does value education. I don't think our culture understand how education works though. You still have to apply for a job and you still have to work hard at that job and you also have to make sure that you get the right education to get a job in the first place.
I'm paraphrasing other posters, here: 'If one race is systematically oppressed, no one of that race can ever be racist.'
This statement ɅɅ is disingenuous and has to be the biggest roadblock to fixing race relations in America.
There are plenty of people or organizations within groups 'not holding power' that hold power in their groups or organizations creating racists within their own organizations.
there are no facts in your OP.
Which culture are you referring to?
OPINIONS are a dime a dozen, try making a factual argument!
There's all kinds of stupid white people that never had to struggle to get where they are because of the advantages they had growing up. Over time, the playing field will be more equalized when everyone is poor and uneducated and the wealthy laugh at us all.

Sure isn't.Is that exclusive to the white race?
Is it possible that the white students are receiving a better primary education and that is why they're more likely to go to college in the first place? Is it possible that poor people need to work immediately after high school in order to avoid starving and becoming homeless?
Again, just another opinion and they’re a dime a dozen. You’ll need to supply some facts that I intend to inflame anything just because it pisses you off doesn’t make it inflammatory to anybody else. TRUTH often pisses off some people.
Only if you use it as a title for a political mob operation.
If tomorrow a group politically protested carrying the title of “White Lives Matter,” we both know what your opinion of that would be, huh?
Explain how the Black Lives Matter mob, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and The United Negro College Fund make racial disparities better.
Is there something wrong with this fact from what you quoted?
"And they represent about a third of the applicants, but only about 28 percent of the recipients."
They are 33.3% of the applicants and get 28% of the scholarships.
That is a pretty close number.
Should they get more?

I was referring to African-American culture which doesn't value education.American? What else?
