Separate but equal

It's a sad state of affairs when we hope that Omarosa stays in this mans ear

Curious to see how this goes.....

Omarosa gone finesse the whole of February with a major piece of the black agenda?....

Howard the Harvard? ....damn Hamptonites yall ok? . I didn't go to to either one, just instigating shiit.

If you don't think black confidence is mistaken as arrogance from white people then you are simply not black. That's a common acknowledgement between all non c00n black people. Then again with that dap to message ratio along with your rep, you're most likely not black.

Yep. You need to only look so good. And if you do look good they have to find a way to take partial credit somehow. 'Yeah he looks good and he does this well but I taught him this. He learned this from watching and being around me.' shyt is pathetic.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Omarosa teaches or taught at Howard so hmmm

 

[Mr swag]

4 billion, yeah Obama was very cheap with money for HBCU's

Wow, that number is unreal. No way that is possible.

 

[GreenGhxst]

This is actually true, Obama was bad for HBCUs

how so?

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Things are going better than I thought with President Trump

yep, despite signing illegal executive orders banning an entire religion, almost starting a war with China, Iran, Australia, his approval rating at 38%, riots every day, appointing wall street corrupt elitists to his cabinet, appointing a white supremicist in Steve Bannon to his chief of staff, appointing a former Klansmen to run the DOJ, gutting the civil rights department, removing any mention of police brutality and reform on the White House website, its been pretty well so far.

 

[Master Teacher]

Can executive order allocate funding to HBCU since funding is done by the congress?

Omarosa went from being a reality TV star to someone advising the POTUS who is also a reality TV star. Someone wake me up when the show ends.

You realize Omarosa worked in the white house during the Clinton Adminstration right

FACT SHEET: Obama Administration Investments in Historically Black Colleges and Universities | U.S. Department of Education

Today, U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. will speak at the 2016 National Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Week Conference, highlighting the value of HBCUs and the importance of advancing their legacy in student success. Over the course of 7 years, the Obama Administration has invested more than $4 billion in HBCUs, because these institutions are vital engines of economic growth and proven ladders of advancement for generations of African Americans.

Federal funding to HBCUs has grown each year since 2009. Through the Higher Education Act, HBCUs received a $17 million funding increase this year—the largest increase for the federal Strengthening HBCUs program in six years. And President Obama’s FY 2017 budget seeks to maintain and strengthen these opportunities for HBCUs to build their capacity. The FY 2017 budget proposes $85 million in mandatory funding to HBCUs, an increase of $5 million from FY 2016, plus an additional $244.7 million in discretionary funds for Title III.
The Administration has also fought for and won a historic commitment to fully fund Pell Grants and expand student aid for millions of low-income students. Pell Grant funding for HBCU students increased significantly between 2007 and 2014, growing from $523 million to $824 million. This year, President Obama announced a plan to make sure that Pell Grants are fully funded, including inflationary adjustments, and used strategically by students to reduce time and cost for receiving a terminal degree. The President’s 2017 budget also proposes a $30 million HBCU and Minority Serving Institution Innovation for Completion Fund, to help students from low-income backgrounds overcome challenges and persist through graduation day.

Once again, compare this to the public sector. Talk to Grambling and Southern about this. 4 billion over 4 years where money is worth a lot more is a big deal when you have escalating expenses. You need to see the big picture. That's the part you are avoiding.

Black peoples best president yet

So you just gonna skip right over this huh

Please keep this in perspective if something does come out.

You still have Jeff Sessions on the DOJ. You still have a conservative supreme court and federal courts that are overturning civil rights law. He removed money from Minority Business Development department .Removed white surpremacist terrorism from counter terrorist operations focus. Defunded the civil rights division of the DOJ. New head of the DOJ Civil rights divisions is a man who has defended racial gerrymandering in court several times.

Someone knocked me for "repeating the same things over and over again" and "fear mongering". I repeat myself because I know things like this will pop up to act as shiny distractions and people need to keep their eye on the ball.

Give individual props but don't let it define or overshadow more important and consequential things.

If Betsy Devos has any say, you'll probably won't have money to get aid to go to these private HBCUs in the future.

There is a whole forest here that must be watched.
