Why are majority of HBCUs discovered/founded by whites?

NCCU was founded by a black man

Even that was founded by a white movement to create an ideology

Which were funded by white denominations

Wrong. They were founded by Black Churches within those denominations.

You all are confusing philanthropist White people giving schools money with them actually founding the schools.

So my cousin is going to a Xavier University( an HBCU in Cincinnati) next week and I kinda went down a wormhole looking at various HBCUs and their history and come to find out majority of HBCU were started by cacs I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’m stunned by this. I thought all HBCUs were made by black people. Is this common knowledge to y’all?

Who are you mad at exactly the cacs who started them or the black people who didn’t start them?

We have had this thread 50 times. We have put graphs up of who founded the schools yet people continue to confuse two concepts "founded" versus "supported philanthropically. " So it is useless to to keep going around and around in circles about this stuff.

Almost all of those schools were founded by Black Churches or had connections to Black Churches. Even a lot of the State run HBCUs originally had connections to Black Churches but were assumed by the States as part of "separate but equal laws."

I’m not “mad” I’m just somewhat disappointed that many of these schools were founded by whites. I had a lot of pride in HBCUS because I thought it was something we specifically built for ourselves

I suggest you crack open a book and research Reconstruction, the Freedman's Bureau and the abolitionist movement
