Non Blacks have increasing become the majority groups in HBCUs. Some have up two 80% non Black. I'm not even why they call them HBCUs tbh. If 80% of the student base is white, why not just go to a state school?
Because they get minority scholarships

If the reverse was done at a predominantly white college, and the black student couldn’t be the drum major, you’d call it racist.

People are going to take advantage of whatever benefits them.

i can't find a recent article I read 2 years ago but its at 80% now. This article says 90% and was written 10 years ago. I believe Bluefield has the highest white student base for an HBCU



I'm going to tell you right now. I don't know how you can be black and want to live in West Virginia.

@Theolodius_Black look at this dumb ass shyt mane. Tell these goofy fukks we don’t give a fukk about somebody being non black in our bands.


Not an ounce of culture, identify, history, nor self is lost by having non black drum majors brethren. Besides that, there's still black men, who have lived, teaching us and leading us as directors in those bands halls.


@Silver Surfer my dude though :salute:

But yea, I'm with you bruh bruh

The explanation on why & how THAT PARTICULAR school became the majority group makes sense. But don’t try to make it seem like it’s popular amongst HBCU’s as a whole.
