HBCUs are struggling to survive

[Richard Wright]

That would take us building a shytload of private schools. That something we/community and the church can do. It's clear public schools don't prioritize the Black child and has a setup from kindergarten to jail. Most kids have to overcome to a degree in that climate. As much as I don't care for that Black astronomer dude ya'll love, he was right about having to be dead set to make it. We need to develop our kids with the skills where just being dead-set isn't the only option.

I agree compltely. We as a community need to find a way to work around the fact that the war on drugs completely fukked us over and destroyed the family unit. We need to work together in a it takes a village type of mindset.

I dont think that taking back our public schools is really an impossible task either. Dr Umar ( I know ) has some great advice on how to do this.

The family might be dead for awhile. It's gonna take a change in culture for that to happen but as for private schools, that is something we need and need it fast. I would drive a hour back and fore to send my child to a great private school on God, real African and AA history, and high level math and sciences with some engineering and learning an African language or two as well as another worldly one like Chinese.

Hell even projects on astrophysics and shyt.

Whooping cacs and Chinese asses

fukk a jack and jills. fukk a white private school too and I attended tho . One legit ass one for us. fukk I look like smiling because my daughter is learning Pig Latin

Only bad thing I could say about my HBCU was the admissions/funding was slow for us students (at the time) but I'm sure my HBCU ain't struggling and will find a way to get there numbers and open every semester sucks for the others

I agree tho, if we had our own private schools, we can develop them to go to the pipeline of HBCU's. Like Hampton, Howard, Spelman, Morehouse. That's how we start to get our athletes back to HBCU's when HBCU's is of respect in the community because of their impact. That's how you save HBCU's and that's how you save Black folks. This could also kickoff community think tanks and business founding ideas.

 

[wheywhey]

lil cousins just got a full ride to Howard and doesn't want to go....dude thinking about taking out dept on going to university of maryland

I need to get on the phone with this mufukka tommorow

I know you want your cousin to go to an HBCU so I am just addressing the University of Maryland. If your cousin got an academic scholarship to Howard, he could probably get into Harvard, Yale, or Stanford. These schools cost less than Maryland. Harvard and Yale start at $6,000 a year and Stanford $11,000 a year, which is for everything.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Yea where your ancestors came from.

So you admit we're the same

I get what you're saying but it's more to it than that. Some of these HBCU's are ran pretty horribly.

I went to an HBCU. Administratively that was the worst experience i've had in my life. Crazy long lines for everything. And sub par standards. Everytime I talk to a friedn who went to a non HBCU they never had anything close to my experience. May not have been perfect but nothing like what i went through. Dining hall, registration. dorm life, faculty, etc. Everything was second rate, for a first rate price. And i went to a top HBCU (Howard). I always tell myself i should have went to a white school.

Howard administration and dorms look Iraq level tho. I was in that dorm a couple of months ago and man, that shyt looked old. The elevator didn't work, it was damn near in the hood. Our black queens dress like hoes and act like . Even the small private school cac places are better in dorms and quality and Howard has more than enough money to do much better than that. But i know some deans from Howard and I understand why things are kinda fukked up. It's not that simple breh. For all the things that's second rate at Howard, those things that are 1st rate can be 2nd rate or non existed for Blacks at PWI.

I went to a PWI, most of my fam did as well. Some went to HBCU's and bytch like a mofo compared to the PWI but at the end of the day, everyone has more positive things to say about the HBCU's than the PWI's for us.

It's like joining a white frat and a black frat if you really want to know what I mean. White frats have the money, network, power, that Black frats can't touch. But for Blacks, what's better for you is a COMPLETELY different question. You gotta think about it breh.

graduated from an HBCU and didnt have any of the problems ya'll bytching about

My sister graduated from an HBCU a few years ago and my brother has 3 semesters left at one and they both had issues with financial aid.

I was in the FAMU/FSU engineering program too. My white counterparts were getting better grades because I'm waiting on a refund check to buy books.

My brother deals with that shyt, not getting the refund check until a month into the semester is the norm.

He had a full ride for marching band. A few weeks before the start of his second year, members of the band, at least the ones entering their second year receive notice that their scholarships are being cut, some more than others. Luckily my brother's was one of the ones that didn't get theirs cut by a lot, but still a few weeks before school starts and you're telling people that they now have to scramble to get x amount of dollars that was supposed to be taken care of already

:doc:

Proud graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and we have the BIGGEST Career fair in the state. The same state with schools named Duke, UNC, NC State. Pretty much everyone who graduates with an STEM degree from NCATSU can get a good job at Fortune 500's because every one of them come to the job fair. These Fortune 500's are all about diversity these days, i know, because i work for one in the top 100.

Buddy of mine came out of FAMU is 06 or 07, said their business school was top notch, great with internships having those connects with Fortune 500s, said they kinda fell off under the new president.

After segregation, Black businesses began to suffer across all industries whether it be HBCUs, banks, grocery stores, hotels, etc....You name it, Blacks stopped supporting it and gave their patronage to White owned businesses.

They don't want to hear that though breh

 

[Bunchy Carter]

I don't know why or how you got away with saying this dumb shyt.

Where you go to school DOES matter in life and lying about it doesn't help anyone.

Elite jobs get elite recognition.

Your one of those college made me not I made the college type. I guess you missed the point where I said if you apply yourself. You must be one of those brothers who are allergic to reading.

Yes people will hire you based on going to an ivy leage university but if you can not perform your duties as an employed individual of xzy corporation you will get fired.

 

[Bunchy Carter]

This is true. I got a bro that graduated from Yale who's currently unemployed.

Tell your bro to keep pushing he will find something, you may not start out in a position you want, but you are gaining experience and opening different doors to bigger opportunities.

I went to a HBCU.....and I'm eating

Bruh nobody wants to deal with this these days. Kats really expect a degree to just hand you some high paying job right out of the gate. A lot of these articles that the media runs to downplay degrees....all these kats sitting around unemployed with a degree....some of them legitimately are catching hell......but most of them just act like certain work is beneath them because of where they went and because of what they will be paid....and I'm talking about work that is in their field. Nobody wants to work their way up into nothing. A degree hasn't meant an automatic high paying job for a broad scope of people in a long time.
