Also, HIRG, I think by "Ilikebball"comment of "Me being racist would be like HURG and his love for the Illini, hating anyone else who is an Illini fan. Just wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense" .... I think he is implying he (or she i guess) is infact of some ethnic minority. At least thats the way I read it. Could be wrong. The problem with that is that it would imply that minorities can't be racist. It is possible for someone regardless of their race to hate someone else based solely on the color of their skin even someone who is the same race. Is it right? Nope, but it happens.

Settle down? After this post, I'm the one that needs to settle down? OK. Ok wow … first of all get off your biblical high horse for a second. I know you must be some former bible major and all, and you probably are just looking for some avenue to make yourself sound really righteous and all high mighty, so good. I’m glad you got that all out. We all now know that any biblical discrepancy we have, we can go to you. So thank you. But ya that is EXACTLY what I was insinuating …. “Oh my gosh stop reading your bible everyone, don’t push yourself or learn anymore!!! STOP STOP!!!!” Give me a break. Grow up a little bit. No one is saying the bible is stupid are whatever, so just save it kid. It was a harmless tongue and cheek comment, if you are going to have your feathers ruffled by something like that, go out into the real world and deal with REAL people and grow some tougher skin. And wow, “WAU” ….. good work on figuring out that analogy! At least I’m alone in thinking this scholarship is just ridiculous. Enough arguing and bickering like little girls. How about some basketball?

I love that this discussion is taking place on a thread about Women's Basketball at Huntington. Good stuff.

I think HU Nation is fine. The argument is happening because of the sad fact that the church in America is pretty well divided ethnically, socially, culturally, and economically, and that fact is reflected in the makeup of not only HU's campus but just about every other Christian college campus in the country. There are a few exceptions, but not very many. So, when HU starts trying to address the disparity, which it is right to do, that raises questions about which part of the disparity should we address first. The focus of the Horizon program is ethnic differences first, that much is obvious, but I do think the people running the program are sensitive to the other areas as well. Unfortunately, accrediting agencies and such tend to focus on skin color diversity much more than the other areas. For example, there are some churches in Huntington in some of the poorer neighborhoods from which we don't draw any students, and it may be that there are very few college educated people, if any, in those churches. Is that good? No. But it's not an ethnic division - it's cultural and socioeconomic.

. . . there are some churches in Huntington in some of the poorer neighborhoods from which we don't draw any students, and it may be that there are very few college educated people, if any, in those churches. In St Joseph county these would be Hillary voters.

Hirg, just don't let it get to you. There's absolutely nothing wrong with "playing the God card," (I hate how that sounds ), and I think it's funny that talking about God on a message board with members from multiple Christian colleges gets you mocked, it sounds a little messed up. You've been on the board for a very long time, I think everyone who has been around long enough to get an idea about who you are knows that you aren't trying to glorify yourself.
And I say "play the God card," all you want, there isn't enough of it, and I think it's always appropriate.
