1. Because your questions were completely ignorant, that is why I did not directly answer them. So I'll answer them for you, given you don't fully comprehend the scope of your ignorance.
Diverting funds from what programs?
- Diverting funds from academic programs that would otherwise receive more funds, had a race-orientated academic program not been assembled and operated off those funds.
What will the white students lose out on?
- Absolutely nothing because race has no relevance to academics.
2. I don't think it's right, that someone (let alone the government) should try to fund an academic group, based on the color of their skin. So no, I don't think racism is a proper solution to rectifying any problem, let alone an "achievement gap".
Things are fine when the government isn't racist. Maybe you're just ignorant.
And I thought it was laughable that some people consider this non-racist. Providing tax money to any organization on the basis of skin color, absolutely is racist.

Would you say the same thing if they spent extra money trying to help out poor whites in Appalachia?

This report presents the deliberations of the Appalachia Regional Advisory Committee
(Appalachia RAC), one of 10 RACs established under the Educational Technical Assistance Act
of 2002 (20 U.S.C. sections 9601 et. seq.) to assess the educational needs of the region. The
Committee
‘s report outlines the educational needs across the four states of Virginia, West
Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky that comprise the Appalachia region. Committee
deliberations took place May 23, 2011, through June 21, 2011.

I can't speak for others but I know I would. The bill you are pointing out is based on socioeconomic standing, not race. You could argue it's classist but nobody seems to really cares about that, in fact it's all the rage these days. It's definitely not a Western Euro - American exclusive bill.
And really, what's with the name? Why can't Jamaican kids or black South American kids get in on this?
If you believe reparations are true and just reasons for racist laws at least have the guts to say so. Saying a law based exclusively on race is not based exclusively on race makes you look a bit cheezy.

It doesn't need to be. When the government uses "other" money for an additional program, that money comes from somewhere, potentially including other programs of the same foundation (academics).
The point is, funds are being diverted from other avenues of expenditure.
It's a socioeconomic issue, and has absolutely no bearing on race.
There is no scientific evidence that correlates the color of one's skin to that of their intellectual ability. You should self-examine yourself, in an attempt to figure out what is causing such an ignorant belief on your behalf. Could be it racism? Possibly.
In other words you're a racist, calling me a racist, for not supporting racism. Typical racist-bigot mentality.
Financial status has no bearing on race or skin tone. Aiding people on the premise of such, is nothing other than racism.

Of course there is a lot to this world I don't get.
And even without a masters in science I could use google so that was just silly.
My political views start with All Men are Created Equal. Pity you don't feel that way.
racist? a program that singles out and helps a certain community, who happen to be african american, is racist... really?
get that fucking bong away from your face and read carefully:
THE FUCKING MAINSTREAM, I NEED MORE RATINGS, BULLSHIT MEDIA IS SELLING YOU A COVER STORY LIE.
there are 1000s of programs out there to help communities in dire need... communities that are overwhelmingly white.... you don't hear about them because the media knows, who gives a damn, if you single out the fact that it's for BOOOO!!! AFRICAN AMERICANS!! it turns very scary.... couple it with all sorts of euphamistic phrases and before you know it idiots are freaking out because the government is RACIST... and the GUY IN CHARGE IS BLACK!!!!
IT'S WAR ON WHITEHOOD!!! OMG
goddamn that was satisfying....

I don't think there should be a programme exclusively for any race or socioeconomic group.
Maybe you should pick the bong up and mull that over for a while.

You can't explain 1+1 =2 without a google search. Thank for solidifying evidence. Dude, you should just STFU and ATTEMPT to learn SOMETHING.
Go ahead and extrapolate my views of humanity. I dont think think we are created equal, i think we ARE equal.
exclusively. HA! you must think these guys sip on crystal and dine fine russian caviar... there's nothing exclusive about the programs. they become available and people are open to use them.
of course you don't believe in social programs for the most needy. i'd recommend a trip to Haiti, port-au-prince.. maybe Nigeria, the western portion of Sudan.. there's a complete lack of social programs there.... i bet you'll LOVE IT.
