So there’s a group of people whose ancestors were slaves for a couple hundred years; and after they were emancipated they were massively discriminated against; many of them were never allowed to get much of an education; and even if they were qualified, they weren’t accepted at most colleges run by the majority group; and that’s not the worst of it — a lot of them were killed when they got uppity. And this group of people decides that they want to improve their lives; and as part of that effort they set up a fund to help their young people go to college; and gradually things have been getting better, but they are still underrepresented in higher education; and this group of people you’re accusing of racism?
