Ok, we see what the problem is. The Asians helped Caucasians remove Affirmative action, PWI enrollment of Black people is down, while a bit up for Asians.
So, does anyone have any solutions for this? Pointing fingers at each other will not resolve this, and this play against us occured in June 2023.

No you didn’taffirmative action only benefits white women. Nothingburger.
Only between 9% and 13% of black American 18- and 19-year-olds are immigrants or come from immigrant families. But one long-term study cited by Tough shows that at “highly selective private colleges,…students from black immigrant families plus students with one black and nonblack parent [rose] from about 40 percent of black students in the 1980s…to about 60 percent in the late 1990s.”

You're just rationalizing discrimination. Black students shouldn't be confined to any *one* lane, they should be able to attend *any* institution in this country and have the same shot as everyone else. Using HBCUs as an excuse for exclusion is nasty.

Let them have it. Since they gave all our political power to the Dems, no negotiations, that's all they CAN do.

As it always was. We were always dependent on the kindness of our oppressors because, again, we as a community, our elders, ceded our power.

Exactly....But y'all said F all forms of higher education get a trade or start a business instead
I had to go back and give it a read, since that was before my time here. Very interesting write up. Thank you for quoting it, because I would have never seen it otherwise.Only between 9% and 13% of black American 18- and 19-year-olds are immigrants or come from immigrant families.

I didn't even see at the time (I avoid the HL weirdos best I can
), but I've quoted that article MANY times and was told to stfu, basically. I was glad to see it bc it echoed my experience.FukkaPaidEmail

The solution is making sure your kid isn’t in the third grade reading and writing on a kinder/1st grade level .
That’s the disaster that is currently occurring in black America .
Ok, let's stop this BS right now. A person like that is not getting into college at all, let alone a prestigious one. So we are not talking about our people who are ill-prepared for any sort of continual education; we are talking about our people who are prepared but are not making it to the schools they desire to attend.
Your response just exposed your own ignorance on this issue, and was not any solution to the problem. You come across sounding like the Asians & Caucasians that stated we do not deserve to be at those schools

Which is a high high high amount of black kids in America . So yes THAT is the disaster. Y’all sitting here worried about a small minority and calling it a disaster. That’s ludicrous.
If more kids at these lower levels were just as prepared as the white and Asian kids our numbers at those schools would skyrocket
Our numbers are falling because it’s a true reflection of where we’re at in America educationally .Artificially pumping these numbers would do nothing for the black community ..How do I know this ? Look at the last 30 years
These elite schools want the next world renowned biologists,economists, and scientists graduating from their schools.The only color that matters is green .
They’re not intentionally throwing black applications in the bushes . If we really still thinking that we’re still lost
I did provide an answer ..it’s called fixing the foundation of our community but that doesn’t put enough blame on other groups so ppl
Don’t wanna face it

You did not discount what I stated, you instead proved my point about you. We are talking about children who are prepared for college and their options, you are talking about children who would have never made it to college in the first place. You are exposing your own self-hatred by arguing a point that has nothing to do with the discussion, throwing up a group of people who can't read above a third grade level into the discussion, implying they were the ones being admitted to these schools because of affirmative action when that was never the case
To repeat, those reading at a third grade level were never the ones applying for those slots in the first place. They were never the ones benefiting from affirmative action. Your whole diatribe sounds like something a WS would state.
