Chris Paul Leads a HBCU leadership series...just one problem.

[Gold]

Makes about as sense as having a professor from Grambling discussing the Ivy Leagues with someone who attended Rutgers. Which is a situation we’ll most likely never see because white people have more sense than that. We still don’t.

We love seeing others discuss us and our institutions like we’re little lab rats, even though we have 1000s of us who’ve actually attended these schools who are qualified to speak on them, instead of having a theoretical discussion by two that haven’t.

Exactly. I dont see why this is a hard concept to grasp.

Its fine if one of the leaders didn't have experience, just make sure the person who you chose to lead with you validates that experience.

She’s just there to ask questions. If we’re going down this rabbit hole the next logical question is why isnt an athlete who actually attended an HBCU hosting the event? But it doesnt matter. Mugs just want to complain about something.

I give CP3 a pass because he has donated his time and money to HBCUS plus he came up in a time before social media was popping. He had to play were he had a realistic shot at the nba

 

[Primetime21]

That's actually a fair question imo.

CP3 didn't go to an HBCU and neither did this professor. It would make sense for at least one of them to have experience in the field that they are going to teach.

I wouldn't start a leadership series on the impact of joining a black fraternity and lead it with a cac.

Its weird to me. I'm not saying he shouldn't do it, its his money and his time and his initiative. But its weird to me.

I always look to make sure the person teaching me something has experience in what they are teaching me. If not... things are likely to be misrepresented (intentionally or unintentionally).

Chris Paul helped a direct a espnu series on HBCU basketball programs, my assumption is he’s using his personal experiences working with those coaches/students. In looking at the lady’s IG it looks like CP also went to the Harvard school of business in some capacity so thats probably the connection. As an HBCU grad I support the conversation no matter who’s hosting, Im just laughing because there’s a certain school that always has to be all up in the video and mad when they arent.

I’m trying to think but is their any extremely successful from athletics person that went to an HBCU recently?

All you need to have Black people listen to and/or damn near do anything is to have a Black celebrity and/or a white person with an impressive credential delivering the message. And god help you if that credential comes from the Ivy League. Black people will worship you like white jesus.

Does Harvard have any black professors?

I respect your opinion given the fact that you went to an HBCU. And to me, this doesn't invalidate his other work with HBCUs. I just think it comes off as a little strange.

Its not uncommon to have other professors come to your institution and give lectures. Happens all the time. But if the lecture is specifically tailored to attending an HBCU, that's where it comes off as strange to me, that's all.

Maybe the Howard professor should make a leadership programme of his own...

Clark Atlanta University hosted a training initiative for HBCU leadership a few weeks ago

*just jokes

Spoiler

The guy Suge was talking about........also went to Howard

Hehehehehehe

 

[Prodyson]

The question is, what is the purpose of this series. If it is related to anything about HBCU experience then this doesn’t make sense. If it is about some industry that this person has extensive experience in, that has nothing specifically to do with what type of school you went to (i.e. an information session) it’s not that big of a deal.

Does anyone know the actual purpose of these sessions?

 

[get these nets]

Being an alumni of an HBCU used to be an informal requirement to be chosen to be the president of one. Often you had to be an alumni of the school itself.
But now they are quite a few
at the top schools with presidents from non HBCU academic backgrounds. The idea that Chris Paul can't have a conversation about HBCUs because he didn't graduate from one doesn't add up.

*technically he's currently an HBCU student now, finishing up his degree

As far as chris I don't believe the view that HBCUs are some foreign entity to him to the correct way to view chris and his interaction with HBCUs. Both his parents and his brother all attended HBCUs. Chris also grew up in a region in america surrounded by HBCUs and if not for him being a star recruit in basketball its a good chance he would have ended up at an HBCU like his parents and brother.

I saw more than a handful.

Again, Chris gets a pass for his work with HBCUs. I find it odd they didn't include 1 HBCU professor at the very least for optics. You can still have Chris and the Harvard Professor and include one more person.
