I can respect your point of view.
my personal preferences put me on the opposig side of this debate, but i fully understand your perspective. I hope this 35 mil benefits black students in some way, and ill just leave it at that :cube:

Like I said, black people will continue to come in last. We can't even hold our elites to a standard without nikkas with no knowledge of self and history crying "Let him do what he want with his money".
That attitude is causing us to fail badly as a race.
If a rich cac or asian gave that amount to say BET which is no longer a strictly black enterprise as it employs plenty of cacs, how you think their peers will be looking at them? That individual will be known as a ****** lover in their circle and ostracized.
Now cacs and asians don't need be held to as strict a standard as blacks because they have a history and position to fall back on. AA's do not so we need our people who make it even MORE than other races.
Instead our people who make it give us their ass to kiss and tell us go get our own! That's fukk business!
On another page, how many white men with money run and marry a black woman? Oh we don't even need to get into that do we?
Them cacs don't have to worry bout us elevating as a race, we have plenty who gladly keep us unorganized!

I don't think there are any HBCU's in Cali....and Cali is his community also.
Im pretty sure there isnt a black college on the whole west coast.

We have no sense of community, this is why we are easily divided and conquered.
For this I admire the jews. They stay aware, loyal and close, and nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can fukk with them collectively.

When Mark Zuckerberg gave 100 Million to the public school system in Newark( which is majority black) in 2010... was he ostracized?
on here, we criticize Zuckerberg for living Modestly, and marrying an average looking asian woman.
the only folks who would even have anything negative to say about his donation, would be st0rmfr0nt type posters...and angry black militants who wanna depict him as having a white savior complex
stop race baiting breh..

White man gave $300 Million back to the University of Chicago. Looking out for his fellow Cacs
Imagine if somebody gave that money to Morehouse h2o_proof
Thread Closed...As Usual
People, we gotta separate charity from endowments. If Dre gave 35mil to an HBCU, it would be charity, cuz they always got something they gotta pay for, always short somewhere, always need just a little something to get something turned on, that's not what this man is doing. He's creating an outlet, a branch or what have you. This is not about charity!
Black folks more than any other group on the planet should understand this, especially those of us who post here who seem to be smart, independent-minded people who can rationalize and make decisions. Some of us have probably been the victim of the lack of an endowment in favor of charity for somebody else.We see it in our own families, the little bit of money your grandparents got saved up always goes to bailing your uncle out of jail, or buying school clothes for your 16 year old cousin's little baby or some other backwards bullshyt like that. Those of us that are doing well get neglected when in fact if we had any surplus we could build real wealth with it. Its called an investment!
And not to be critical of HBCU's cuz alot of them really need the help, they're just a casualty of this arguement but this ain't the pool of money it should come from, it should be coming from the alumnus and viewer's like you!

Yup, Booth gave 300M to Univ. of Chicago to look out for white people, not because he got his MBA there or because the school is one of the most prestigious the world and is arguably the best business school in the world.
He did it to look out for cacs.

It's true tho.
No HBCU has the funding to sustain such a program...Do you really think the music/film industry is going to uproot itself and set up shop in DC, 7 cities and Atlanta just for the sake of those schools?
What good is this program going to do, if it's not where it needs to be to work at full capacity?
Finance,Law and Engineering≠ Hollywood/Tech/Music Industry....Damn near every major city has their own financial district, But there is only one Hollywood
it's like y'all can't get past the aspect of the program not going to a black school..and get to why it's at USC.
why are you making a fuss about the percentage of blacks at USC, when LA's black population is less than 10%
SC's black population is only about 5% off from what the actual city is...that's fairly good for a private school that only admits less than 25% of it's applicants.
Dude, your a fukking idiot. Its clear you didn't go to an HBCU and feel they are inferior institutions. Your a c00n of the highest order. That is all.
so some dumb ass really said it is not about Race in America
nikka get the fukk outta here
nikka get the fukk outta here

Imagine if someone gave that type of money to these broken schools in the inner cities.....
Its like they automatically give up or don't do it because they assume because they were in the same environment when they were younger, they "KNOW FIRSTHAND" that it would not work
@Slang Dussain Ali don't forget about Mary J Blige last year or whenever it was getting all those young Black Women dreams up with her promise of giving them scholarships and then trolling them by stiffing them soon after

This is exactly why our people get a bad reputation because of nonsense like this. I guess Mary was too busy c00ning in KFC commercials to make a commitment to a promise she made to struggling young people.

LOOK WHAT OPRAH SAID AND I TOTALLY AGREE
Oprah Not Alone in Her Frustrations With Inner-City Kids, School Systems
Move over, Bill Cosby, you've got some company.
Oprah Winfrey, who made headlines this week with the opening of her $40 million, all-girls leadership academy in South Africa, is none too happy with how inner-city American kids take for granted an education.
In an interview with Newsweek's Allison Samuels, the billionaire media mogul said she has given millions of dollars to American schools, but has become disenchanted with the materialistic attitude among children.
"Say what you will about the American educational system it does work," she told Newsweek. "If you are a child in the United States, you can get an education."
She added: "I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school."
While some focused on the good deed of her opening a school to train the next generation of female leaders in South Africa, others focused on these statements, angry that a women who grew up poor in Mississippi would be so dismissive and callous in her critique of inner-city children.
My e-mail box blew up with folks wondering why she didn't open a similar school on the South Side of Chicago. Others called her an elitist slob who has forgotten where she has come from. Yet a few others were flat out ticked off by her painting the mindset of inner-city kids with a broad brush.
While I understand this position, and am fully aware of the serious shortcomings of the American education system especially when you note that many suburban schools, because of high property taxes, look like college campuses, and those attended by mostly black and Hispanic children are falling apart Oprah is dead-on in her assessment.
To understand Oprah's concern and that of Cosby is to step back and realize the most fundamental argument they are making: that education isn't seen as the way out of a desperate situation.
When Cosby went off two years ago as the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision was celebrated, what was missing was the mindset of the pre-Brown parents.
