I don't agree with legacy preferences either, but unless everyone is getting them, this is not leveling the playing field

a good education should not be provided to only rich or white. The University knows the past history of the area.

The university does not currently limit itself to rich or white people. I am in favor of getting rid of all preferences.

University sold slaves to pay for education of whites.Allowing blacks the same status as alumni is acknowledgement of past injustice

no whites alive today had anything to do with that, and no blacks alive today were harmed

they were kept from attending University, so no black alumni.

I don't know when Georgetown started letting blacks in, but I bet nobody applying today has any parents who were prevented

sorry, but your argument reflects only now, not history. the University thought it was the right thing to do, so do I. You don't

I just want everyone to be treated fairly and equally now. Why is that bad?
