this: "Again, I think that is defensible but lying about that fact isn't. Telling white students who know damn well that they didn't get into a school that a friend of theirs with lower SAT's and GPA did get into that that didn't happen is just plain dumb."
You can find students of all social classes that are piss poor or excellent students. I don't see anyone complaining about kids who get into schools because their parents are rich.
The fact is that blacks are a minority, and it stands to reason that many of these students will be from poor families. What you cannot claim is that white students are being denied opportunities because black student are given them. Look at the higher education as a system, not one institution, and then try to argue that black students are unfairly taking slots away from white students. That's bullshit.
