Regular ass schools were not even available to blacks until the early 60's, so HBCUs are the "regular" schools for our people. Of course major universities in america have more resources because they have been building them for more than a century with white privilege. The only reason we are accepted into this culture of "higher education" is because the money we are allowed to pay to attend is too great to ignore from the same white administrators that poured soup on your folks head at the sit ins. Yet and still, blacks were able to fight through and still become doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers etc. with the help of HBCUs.
Lets cut the bull$hit. We go to these overpriced schools because the majority(whites) do it. Because we are the minority, we feel like like we must assimilate ourselves into the real world(white world). All the while, we look down on the same institutions (hbcu) that carried our ass the whole time.
If blacks, latinos, asians and whatever other minority in this country strictly went to a bunch of fictional minority universities, do you think white people would beat down its doors in order to be apart of a better representation of the "real world". Hell no
Blacks should go wherever they feel, but not realizing how important and viable HBCUs are is crazy. "Major" universities are major because of MONEY and a hell of a head start, solely because of segregation. White minds arent inherently better than black ones. And our resources can be just as great if we pooled them together.
Just my opinion. My 2 cents aint worth a dime brehs

The brutal truth is that she didn't finish high school. For whatever reason and continued to live without finishing high school. She feels comfortable living like this, it's not our responsibility to feel pity or even try to help her out. Tom Joyner knows that this will enhance his credibility with his listening audience and he probably won't have to pay a dime for her to get into a school. (Assuming she gets her GED) I'm sorry but I don't have the compassion in my heart for this nikka bullshyt anymore. I have a lot of real nikkas in my fam and my tolerance for nikka shyt (not finishing high school because you are too tired to go, or you need bail money) is very low. Good luck to her, I hope she proves all the nay-sayers wrong and she becomes the next Oprah. I just don't give a damn about her or her simple ass opinions at the present time.
to her rescue because people are just saying the truth. She probably doesn't even realize what an embarrassment she is or she just doesn't give a fukk. At the end of the day I want to see how this "Scholarship/GED combo" is going to pan out. All the luck to her in the world to succeed so they can make a movie about this but as of right now, I'm just not feeling this helping her out bullshyt. If she couldn't finish her GED how long is she going to last in college? Some people are just not willing or able to go to school.
