Despite his billions, Bill Gates is too " new rich ", too nerdy, too original , too independently brilliant to be associated with some sinister, entrenched American "ruling class " ( THEY probably meet once a year now in some tasteless, luxury hotel to plan - in vain - who our next president should be. )
In today's news I read that he and his wife, Melinda, will donate $1 billion for minority scholarships - a very generous gift to be sure. NOBODY with academic talent should be deprived of a quality college education.
Good news for bright black kids, hispanic kids, and American Indian kids . But another " forgotten minority " has been left out of the Rainbow coalition - poor white kids!
Are they the "new niggers"?
