The Steep Cost of Decades of Discrimination

It will take more than a onetime injection to Black colleges to make up for a legacy of racism.

The rich have grown richer and the poor poorer during the pandemic, and institutions of higher education have been no exception. Colleges that primarily serve students who are an unexpected expense away from leaving school bore the brunt of the crisis. Community-college enrollments were down 9.5 percent last fall; historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) saw a decline of 5 percent. Despite a year of record philanthropic giving, 2020 was financially devastating for many of them.

“It’s important to support all colleges, but we know that some colleges are feeling the impact much more, and most importantly some students are feeling the impact more, than others,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told me on Friday. The Biden administration has a goal to “build these colleges up better than they were before,” and this starts, he said, with the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion economic-stimulus package that President Joe Biden signed in March. More than 900 community colleges will receive a total of $10 billion from the federal government; the nation’s roughly 100 Black colleges will gain $1 billion immediately, plus another $1.6 billion later this year.

Each year, the federal government disperses about $1 billion to HBCUs through a mix of 15 programs such as Pell Grants and research and development contracts. “With all of this new funding, you’re talking about, in one year, potentially tripling what we would normally get,” Walter Kimbrough, the president of Dillard University, a private HBCU in New Orleans, told me. “I can’t think of anything that compares to this historically.”

It's tragic what's going on. I feel like more than ever, we are getting fukked!

This is true, and this post will go over a lot of people's heads. America has always produced a group of Uncle Toms and traitors to the Nation(s) whose affairs they have meddled in. There is always those that stay true to their people and Nation, then there are the cowards that wish to get a taste of American decadence.

Exactly. Stay on that dumb shyt.

I still prefer sleepy Joe to the unmitigated fukkery that is Agent Orange.

TRUMP!!!!!

@CHICAGO what you think about this breh?

Biden’s push for racial justice at stake in bipartisan infrastructure talks

Republican efforts to exclude social elements such as daycare and senior care risk depriving the Black and brown people most in need of investment

The massacre of innocents was just the beginning, Joe Biden explained. African Americans in Tulsa, Oklahoma, would go on to be locked out of home ownerships, see a motorway built through their community and endure chronic underinvestment by government.

“This story isn’t about the loss of life, but a loss of living, of wealth and prosperity and possibilities that still reverberates today,” the US president said during a visit marking the centenary of an attack by a white mob that left up to 300 people dead.




He went on to offer hope, announcing expanded efforts to narrow the racial wealth gap that has proved generational in Tulsa and countless other cities. But a day later, Biden found himself back in Washington, haggling behind closed doors over a legislative proposal that could make or break his promise to right this systemic wrong.

When it was unveiled in March, the $2.3tn American Jobs Plan made good on Biden’s campaign pledge by proposing to advance racial equity in education, employment, healthcare, housing and transport. It included $400bn to create jobs and boost wages for millions of women of colour who work as caregivers for the elderly and disabled.

But that is precisely the type of provision that Republicans oppose, arguing for a traditional definition of infrastructure as airports, bridges, railways and roads along with broadband internet.

What's with all the pearl clutching at things like this? You should know by now what the deal is with these presidents. He's just temporarily maintaining the status quo of America Incorporated until his term is up and the next one picks up where he left off. It's been that way.

We are nowhere near their (the elites) priority in the grand scheme of things. I don't get why you're all standing around whining and pointing fingers at who they're throwing a bone and eagerly clasping your palms together hoping they drop some crumbs in it. Stop relying on people who got you at the bottom to do something for you that's going to be meaningful and move the meter. It's not going to happen. If we were unified in a strong way, we wouldn't be so desperately wanting their assistance. We would just be accepting of what this country is good for, and using it order to win and thrive like many of these other races are doing as a community. They rely more heavily on themselves and commerce and strong values (culture) in the household more than government handouts. We seriously need to stop trying to force and shame the government (elite whites) to cater to us as if it owes you something and instead just work together and get your slice of the American pie like everybody else. Stop trying to marry America and use it for the whore that she is.

I'm telling your dumb ass how resettlement works
It usually costs 100k+ to resettle a single refugee
The whole process may take a decade or longer
That's what the 6billie is for

Most of them Afghans probably can't even read or write..u think u can resettle them in a year or two?


It's actually less than what we have spent on refugees in the past
It's too late to bytch about this...once we grant folks asylum, they are our responsibility

These dudes will have to save up three months to a year to move across state lines but expect it to be a minimal expense for a refugee from a non-English speaking country with a whole family in tow on the other side of the world.
