COME ON IN HERE AND DEFEND THIS YALL!
in my quote i clearly said that at the time it was a political move (the photo op w/HBCU presidents) and I never said that this was a resounding victory for HBCU's
this actually falls in line with everything i've ever said in higher learning
1) we don't HAVE to work with or cooperate with this president or his administration. meeting with him at the white house was not necessary 
2) we have the collective resources to police/fund/manage ourselves. we just have to organize and do it.
again, we do NOT have to work with this administration. the best way to resist is to show that we can be a self contained functioning community
i've said that in this forum dozens of times
Also as somebody who attended
several HBCU's, I don't see this as a good guy vs. bad guy situation
for example, when i was a student at miles college (fairfield alabama) in 1998-1999, we had these in the classrooms:
almost 100 year old desks in
every classroom except the computer lab...
the classrooms were like walking into a time warp
Bill Cosby donated MILLIONS to the school a year or so before i got there, and people were saying the money went to the football team and some peoples pockets
what's crazy is that my little tuition alone could've furnished better DESKS in one classroom...what were they doing with the money!?
I'm not gonna kick HBCU's while they're down, and don't shyt on HBCU's publicly
TWO kids have gone to HBCU's on my recommendation and wouldn't have even gone to college otherwise
but the ones I went to were NOT innocent angels, there are some
REALLY fukked up situations going on at HBCU's that never make national news because nobody cares
