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."

Take these clowns to school bro.

Lol just looked up the history of one Swac school. It mentions how the future first black governor petitioned for a place of higher learner for black folks. A year later they got a grant and the school was made. Started looking into his history and he was born a free man in GEORGIA 35 years before slavery was abolished.

Dad was a white planter that owned slaves and mom was mixed. While nikkas was stuck on slave plantations ol boy was creating a black looking, white middle class aka the Boule. Massa looked out for his son. Op was right. They claimed this school was founded by blacks buy its really cacs passing for black, just like them $5 Indians

Lank? I am interested to see what you've gathered
You can start a basic search with Wikipedia.

There are currently 107 HBCUs. Fifty seven (57) are private. Fifty one (51) are public. The 51 public institutions were created by State legislatures under the "separate but equal" policy that existed during their creation after the Plessy v. Ferguson case. Over two thirds (2/3 or over 66%) of HBCU students attend public institutions.

The 57 private HBCU were founded by a combination of either Black and/or White Churches and/or private individuals. Sometimes HBCUs were named after White people that made financial contributions, but they may not have actually been the founders. That is the same thing that is done today when a rich person makes a contribution to a school and they name a building after the donor.

edit: Notice the number of the private HBCUs that were founded by Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist churches with Black and/or White congregants. So as you can see the majority of private HBCUs were founded by Churches. Even some of public schools were founded by Churches and the States later made them public. That is why I always tell African Americans that HBCUs were really left to us by our ancestors and even if you did not attend an HBCU or any college at all, we all were gifted these institutions by our people.

That's why I want @Samori Toure data. He is good at little sentences with no references but when I ask him for his research, he comes up short. I always said, Samori might be the best writer on thecoli from a grammatical stance but when it comes to research, he's 4th tier at best. Dede is the best I've seen on this site at research and I've never seen her address this subject.

Breh, it was the African Methodist Episcopal that founded alot of HBCUS with the help of the White Methodist church

The African Methodist Church was independent from the White Methodist Church. They had no connection to the wider White Methodist Church:

African Methodist Episcopal Church
The African Methodist Episcopal Church, usually called the A.M.E. Church or AME, is a predominantly African-American Methodist denomination. It adheres to Wesleyan-Arminian theology and has a connexional polity.[4] The African Methodist Episcopal Church is the first independent Protestant denomination to be founded by black people,[5] though it welcomes and has members of all ethnicities.[6] It was founded by the Rt. Rev. Richard Allen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1816 from several black Methodist congregations in the mid-Atlantic area that wanted to escape the discrimination that was commonplace in society.[6] It was among the first denominations in the United States to be founded for this reason, rather than theological distinctions and has persistently advocated for the civil and human rights of African Americans through social improvement, religious autonomy, and political engagement, while always being open to people of all racial backgrounds.[6]

African Methodist Episcopal Church - Wikipedia

The African Methodist Episcopal Church and its offshoots founded 10 of the private 57 HBCUs.

Lane College was founded by Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, which was founded by former slaves.

Now Grambling’s founder is a real one. Both parents were slaves in the heart of Louisiana and he got it out the mud. Laid the groundwork for a HBCU powerhouse. Bruh was 6 10… Guess the NBA wasn’t a option back then.

Part of the investments of the wealthy white community into the progress of ‘Blacks’

The Negro Problem is a long going historical conversation in America.

All of our current politics spill from their reaction to it.

The main reason that philanthropic White people gave money to HBCUs was to garner votes for the Republican Party. People have to remember that rich so called liberal White people and recently freed Black men that had gotten the right to vote under the 15th amendment in 1870 were the heart and soul of the Republican Party. Both groups along with Black women eventually switched to the Democratic Party, but their origins were in the Republican Party.

A lot of HBCUs were founded in the late 1800s post Reconstruction and before Jim Crow when most black folks were still sharecroppers and largely not educated. We had Booker T Washington and WEB Dubois, but we had no capital for the infrastructure for a college. We needed land grants and post reconstruction, a lot of cac churches were flush with money and donated. You can question their inent, but it is what it is


Hell even in 2022 black wealth is at zero and some brehs are still the 1st to ever graduate from college in their family.

There's a reason why these HBCUs don't teach real black education about getting ahead, owning your communities, inviting speakers like Claude Anderson or Neely Fuller to speak or teach classes...

I mean sure... you might feel more comfortable around ppl who have a cultural connection...but do you really learn systems and processes? It's more like helping you to get a job. Many black lawyers have come from HBCUs tho

Wesleyan theology, otherwise known as Wesleyan–Arminian theology, or Methodist theology, is a theological tradition in Protestant Christianity based upon the ministry of the 18th-century evangelicalreformer brothers John Wesley and Charles Wesley.

So the AME adheres to these two cac? And they started a black school? Talking about fukked from the get go

Sounds like the schools were intented for Boule. Or freed white men with black mothers. The other they called house nikkas back in the day cuz they had rights, property, generational wealth etc
