I think these are only for Black kids.

Two points :

 

1 - In actual fact it's white working class kids who have the lowest academic attainment.

 

2 - If that had been white bloke saying he'd offer scholarships, but only for white kids, what would have been the reaction?

Given its his own money he can do as he pleases without any scrutiny tbh.

Black kids need it more.

White kids are sorted, they have everything they need.

Very true.

*However if a white person did the same there would be hell to pay.

Racism this.

Racism that etc.....

 

*Just saving time 👍

Exactly if Ed Sheeran did this  for white kids it would be all over the news.

And he would eventually get venues cancelling him due to pressure groups saying he is a racist.

But you're allowed to be racist if it's against a white person; https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1767382/Bridgerton-cast-Adjoa-Andoh-Buckingham-Palace-balcony-terribly-white-ITV

Lots of complaints made about her comment, and nothing happened 🤷‍♂️

 

 

 

(FYI, in case people take my comment the wrong way, I'm being sarcastic, you can definitely be racist against anyone)

In that instance probably not much OFCOM could do anyway -  it wasnt an host, it was just a guest.

When white kids have their own black-dominated police force to hassle them every day because of their skin colour, then they can have their own scholarship schemes. Seems a fair deal.

I actually think I agree with this. 

It's called freedom. He should have the freedom to spend his own money as he wishes. 

 

I can see why he wants to do it, but it might be illegal to discriminate, therefore he can expect some sort of backlash if only from members of the public.
