I shouldn't compensate anything. I didn't inherit what they did over 150 years ago. And what the hell kind of compensation is a backwards compliment from a school? All this white guilt is ridiculous though. Why does anyone feel guilty about something they weren't even alive to participate in? Sure you could feel some embarrassment over your ancestors actions, but to feel guilty is a little overboard.

I was reading my university newspaper today and there was an article about awards being given to black students with a 3.5 GPA or higher their freshmen year and a different award for black seniors with at least a 3.5 GPA. Now, why exactly should black students get a special award? Isn't that basically saying, "Look, we don't think as a race you are as intelligent and capable as the other students, therefor, we will give you something if you get at least a 3.5 GPA." WTF? How are they not Rating: 5
