Admissions Scandal And African Americans Who Were Jailed For It

Some see it as an egregious flexing of white privilege: A virtual bomb erupted this week over revelations that wealthy parents, including a few well-known Hollywood actors, bribed their kids’ way into some of the nations’ most prestigious colleges and universities in a widespread college admissions scandal.

Rich parents, including popular TV actors Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, were ensnared in the scandal after the FBI alleges they and many other wealthy, white parents took part in an elaborate scam that got their children admitted into these schools and some of them, onto very competitive college sport teams—even if their child had never played sports before.

There is a wave of outrage among the black community. For far too long, black students, who often have to work twice as hard to get into elite colleges, have been derided as “affirmative action cases.” That is, black students have simply been admitted to these schools because of their skin color and not because of their skills and hard work.

This is no laughing matter and in my opinion Black people have every right to be outraged. It's easy to charge someone but our main concern is what will the outcome be? will they get a slap on the wrist or just probation despite Black people literally being put in prison? Here's a story as an example:

Eight Atlanta educators convicted of conspiracy to boost students' test scores received stiff sentences Tuesday in a school cheating scandal that sparked an emotional debate over race, testing and the prospect of sending elementary school teachers to prison under state racketeering laws.

Three top administrators were sentenced to seven years in prison, with 13 years' probation. Five lower-ranking educators received one- to two-year prison terms.

I expect like everyone else that everyone who's apart of this scandal have the book thrown at them. Especially when taxes are involved and lying on your Tax Returns. But this whole thing have White Privileged written all over it. The difference between White & Black is we just wanted a better education and actually went to school and worked for it, while White's literally cheated their way to top colleges.
