"Why DR. DRE gave 35 MILLION to "white" USC as opposed to an HBCU?-Dr. Boyce Watkins

[jilla82]

btw...all you cats crying about Dre not giving money to HBCUs....why dont you donate some cash?
Every little bit helps...even if its only $10.

But I bet you dont do that cuz you need to cop some new Jordans next week

 

[Consigliere]

I agree with the OP even though Dre doesn't have to do anything. He doesnt owe HBCU's anything unless they owe him a degree.

The real question is does Dre make any of his own decisions or is he completely owned and operated by Jimmy Iovine? Cuz it seems like Iovine wanted to make a donation to his daughters school and Dre went along with it.

 

[Wacky D]

You know how black people do...like I said its his money but its a shame we don't invest in our institutions. Howard, Morehouse, Hampton, Spelman, A&T, FAMU...all those schools are top ranked black colleges. That program could've flourished at those spots.

yup. but according to this board, hbcus are all just a bunch of community colleges.

and yea, its his money. if he wants to c00n it up, its his prerogative. but when you get caught in the act, youre gonna get called out for it.

dr. boyce watkins needs to STFU when he went to the university of kentucky and syracuse pays him. when did HE supported or participated in any HBCU schools??? fucckin' hypocrite. it's dre's money and he can do whutever the fucck he wants with it. USC is part of his community. he wanted kids of ALL races who love music to have a chance and all this boyce fool is doing is trying to DIVIDE black people with this nonsense crabs in the bucket, we need a handout too having rhetoric....

his isn't crabs in a bucket or dividing black people.

its a case of TONS of money being handed over from black hands to white hands......and why?

c00n it up? Donating that much money to any institution, in the first place, should be fukking appreciated. Goddamn y'all are so stupid sometimes

the f*ck?

don't reply to me again buddy.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

yes, and the point of the question is, why give it to them when they are already successful and have shytloads of money, when there are others who could use the money better?

yes, it is his money and he can do with it what he wants. but, you get tax deductions for donations, because they are supposed to be a form of charity that takes care of those in need and balances out income inequality in society. wealthy people giving to institutions that cater to the elite are not doing that. they are making sure the status quo remains as it is and are supporting the structures from which they benefit. what dre and iovine are doing is an investment, to make sure that the industry they are working in is supplied with the talent it needs. it is not a donation, accordingly, it shouldn't be treated as one.

Let's be 100 right now...

No HBCU could ever provide the necessary resources to even support such an academy....and you're on some " well why can't you make an HBCU the first to do it ?" type shyt.


your whole reply is bullshyt, based in some backwards ass " keeping the black man/ poor man down" logic...and you've killed your own damn argument.

with your dumbass logic, no rich person should ever give money to any institution of higher learning, cause by rule...they cater to the elite.


USC can fuel the industry ( as it has done for decades) that Jimmy and Dre are in, with said talent/resources... Morehouse, Spelman,Howard,Hampton or whatever HBCU you wanna name can't.


in your mind, T Boone Pickens donating hundreds of millions to Oklahoma St. isn't a real "donation" cause he's "invested" the majority of such money in the success of it's athletics.

you wanna argue semantics, based on the fact that you can get tax-deductions for donating money.. yet, you can fukking look up the definition of donate

do·nate (dnt, d-nt)
v. do·nat·ed, do·nat·ing, do·nates
v.tr.
1. To present as a gift to a fund or cause; contribute.
2. Medicine To provide (blood, tissue, or an organ) for transfusion, implantation, or transplant.
3. Chemistry To provide (an electron or atom, for example) for combination with an acceptor.
v.intr.
To make a contribution to a fund or cause.

but yeah, you right breh.. you right

you didn't get my point at all.

Wow, one thing Ive learned from this site is other black people really do hate each other. Its sad. In no way is it my place to tell someone what to do with their money. So the issue isnt Dre donating. The issue is how inaccessible a place like USC is to minority and poor students. We need to get smart as a people and quickly. Until blacks take the asian route and refuse to accept failure as an option the dr dres of the world will never give these gifts to 'hbcu's. More black men need to get into math and science. Stop trying to be idiot rappers. Black colleges dont deserve a gift like this. Black people have let the forces that sought to destroy them control them.

We need black excellence and we need it to start with us as individuals. Then we wont need to cry after entertainers do things that wont affect us anyway.




Low key I would have bought 50 cent's headphones or some sennheisers if i knew he was gonna do this. fukk those cheap ass beats.

HBCUs dont have the necessary resources for the program? Yall truly do believe that black is inferior. It's sad. Every year Howard, Hampton and Morehouse sends a shytload of students to major financial firms, major engineering firms, laws schools such as Harvard, Stanford and Columbia but, they dont have the necessary resources to handle Dr. Dre's music program. Jesus Christ




And yes, some black kids do go to USC. 4% of USC's population is African American. That's 730 students

Lets apply logic just for a minute....

Dr Dre is from LA. Lets get that out of the way first. His business partner Jimmy Iovine has ties to the school and also calls LA home. Why can't he donate back to the area he grew up in and made him a legend?

It is the most visible school in LA with the best track record of producing talent in many different fields.

Los Angeles is the movie industry, with the recording industry having a foot print here, and the second largest music market in the United States.

And if you think those schools have the money and alumni network that USC has, you are sadly mistaken. Also, its 5% of a 40,000 student body, its 2000 roughly but hay, lets not split hairs. Most of the school is non-white for the record.

Dre wants to be white.

The other races dont hate blacks even more?

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.
