Bake sale at Tech causes some controversy
http://www.kcbd.com/story/14527657/bake-sale-at-tech-raises-some-concerns

A bake sale in the Texas Tech free speech area raised some questions, and the group sponsoring it says that was the point.

The Young Conservatives of Texas hosted an affirmative action bake sale to satirize and draw attention to what they call the injustice of favoritism in academia.

They sold the same cookies at different prices, depending on the buyers race or ethnicity.

The level of the pricing is basically derived from which group of people is disenfranchised the most by the idea of affirmative action, said Jermany kitchen, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas.

wow.

just...wow.

15. The infamous James O'Keefe held one when he was in college

And it's been a regular stunt for campus conservatives ever since.

2. You'd think they could find something new...

Well, on second thought, I guess not.

:shrug:

3. How did those people even get into college?

Poor people pay more for everything.

5. If affirmative action was really a problem

These freaks would not have been allowed to attend and some african-american students would have taken their place. They obviously don't have the critical think skills required to get a degree.

6. This is a typical Conservative ploy done to death

it's a shame because it shows such ignorance with those who still do these racist events.

7. they are keenly sensitive to anything that looks like differential treatment of whites based on race

but rather oblivious to other examples of differential treatment. :eyes:

8. I wish all the worst on them

they should come back as African Americans in Detroit. Better yet they should be made to be dressed up by professional make up artists for a month and then try to catch a cab and go on job interviews. I bet they would be shocked.

9. I wonder if their baked goods were as stale as that idea

:eyes:

11. What's very wrong with this bake sale, was that if it applied to a real life lesson,

They would be giving free cookies under the table to every other white student.

[Zephie]

12. Pardon me while I...

:puke:

And they feel totally ok doing this stuff. I just can't fathom it.

13. There's a way to solve this problem so it never happens again

A liberal student group needs to pool quite a bit of money. They then get a person from the group the Repukes are giving the lowest price to, to go to the Repukes right after the stand goes yo and make a bulk purchase of everything they have. The pukes are happy, they're motivated and they've "proven" their point.

Just as soon as the pukes take their table away, a LIBERAL group sets one up in exactly the same place, puts all the repuke cookies on it and sells them for two prices: to everyone but the College Republicans at the price the most oppressed group would have paid, and to the College Republicans at the price for white males.

14. Cool

since my cookies are lower priced, I can buy all of them and throw it at them.
