Why do folks diss community college?

[Zach Lowe]

At VA Tech in engineering THEY DO.

doubt it slime

community colleges serve a dumber audience

you can't tell me you're gonna do 2 years of math/science at community college then walk into 3rd year classes at Virginia Tech and dominate people who had 2 years of better college education and actually learned something in high school before that

even if community colleges copy the curriculum from state universities they cover less material and give easier tests

community college kids go from 4.0 to 2.5 moving up to big boy school everyday b
at least in sciences idk about poli sci and shyt

These are documented facts.

And who said you received better preparation in a weed out Calc 3 or DE class at Tech?

These are facts. Call VT if you have a problem with it.

I cannot answer for all PWIs. That's why I mention Harvard & Yale. I personally wouldn't attend any other PRIVATE schools besides those two.

I honestly do not know.

I think people should go where they get the most support morally and financially.

But why do I hear of people attending PWIs over HBCUs?

Less financial aid BULLSHYT.

Not having to wait until AFTER school starts to get their refund checks.

Not having bytches in the financial aid office trying to cock block your money, because they think you're getting to much.

Not wanting to have to deal with the fashion show aspect OR the high school atmosphere.

The shytty accommodations, food, facilities, etc.

Obviously comparing Harvard & Yale to everyone else isn't a fair match.

I wouldn't go to Duke, Purdue, Notre Dame, NYU or any other private PWI, nor do I have any experience with them.

I'm not trying to be obtuse.

No one should pick an HBCU because "they care about Black people," because that's a gotdamn lie.

And no one should choose Duke, Purdue, NYU, etc, because they're PWIs.

I was just asking this question because before I was "enlightened", I chose to attend a PWI because such institutions would mean I would have a better education as opposed to attending a predominately black institutions who have predominately black teachers. I believe white supremacy plays a lot in such decisions based on my previous sentiments and my interactions with my peers and even my family. "Going white" seemed like the best decision. Looking back, it really wasn't because majority of my teachers, as far as liberal arts go, failed to bring any diversity to the class- failed to introduce me to the history and culture of "Black America"-the African Diaspora in general. In addition, my white peers were often ignorant and ruin the little chances of having a thoughtful discourse on topics of my interest- African-American studies. A lot of what I learn was on my own.

lil brehs get their little community college A's then walk into a real class and their heads blow the fukk up lil breh

and their GPAs reset to null so if they start with a 2.0 in their first term that's their new gpa

cold game

link to facts, i would believe that CC transfers outperform their expected GPA from a prediction formula based on their high school GPA and SAT, since they probably fukked those up then got it together in CC

but doing better on average than non-transfers hell nah

maybe VA Tech is trash and CC students do run shyt there don't know much about it

People go to Harvard & Yale BECAUSE THEY GET IN.

The type of Black American people that GO are USUALLY concious/community activist type. Like the Obama kids. Obama wasn't WELCOME in the divine nine, or none of those other c00n organizations. Neither was his wife. They came to Ivy League from POOR backgrounds. They weren't welcome in the Black bougie orgs.

As a result of GOING to a PWI, just from exposure, you're cured of ANY illusions about cacs. No one goes to Harvard or Yale to study cacs.

But in many cases, Blacks who get in to Harvard and Yale have ALREADY grown up around wealthy cacs. Attended high school at Sidwell, Exeter, Andover, etc. Even if you're poor, if you're smart, you can get a scholarship to Sidwell or Harvard & Yale.

Black Panthers (legit ones) often sent THEIR children to Harvard & Yale.

Most Blacks who go to PWIs already know what time it is with cacs.

I consider materialistic superficial Black people to be c00ns. I've seen far higher percentage of c00ns at HBCUs. Which schools ban Blacks from locks and Afros? HBCUs (Hampton U).... Are there c00ns at Harvard & Yale? Absolutely! Do they come back to the Black student orgs begging for help after they get their wake up call? YES! Do we laugh in their faces? HELL YEAH!!!

Please don't believe HBCUs are OUR schools. Public HBCUs are controlled by their cac REPUBLICAN governors.... Those racist cacs control the boards AND administration at state run HBCUs.

Do you think that racist cac whose the governor of _____ (Alabama, Texas, Florida) is going to let concious awake Black people control Alabama A&M, Prairie View or FAMU?????

HELL NO.

They're not letting Dr. Angela Davis run FAMU or Prairie View. She was at UC.

Dr. Kathleen Cleaver taught at Emory Univ. Law.

No public state HBCU is going to hire (HBCU -Tenn State undergrad)/Yale Law grad, Van Jones, when he's preaching about reducing Black mass incarceration rates.

This isn't an HBCU vs. PWI situation.

This is looking at the history behind HBCUs and looking at WHO is on the board of directors, etc.

Blind loyalty to anything is foolish.

Harvard & Yale are no more or no less a friend to Black folks than any HBCU.

WE HAVE NO FRIENDS in any institution.

Look at any school, check the board of trustees, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Nope...I've met and know black people who attended schools ranging from Emory to Harvard. Conscious pro black community type? Nope...Some black people go because it is a part of the family, it's a challenge to get into those schools (you have to be dedicated) and they want to prove that they can get in, some go because they know and can get a full ride based on their family income, and some go because the school has one of the best programs in what they are doing. I've met more pro black conscious people from HBCU's than top IVY league schools.

 

[agnosticlady]

White supremacy controls it all... sorry I missed that part.

I think white supremacy is more potent and effective at HBCUs.

I disagree...I think it's more potent and effective at an Ivy League school. Nothing bad about going to an Ivy League school. At least that's from what I've seen.

In addition, my white peers were often ignorant and ruin the little chances of having a thoughtful discourse on topics of my interest- African-American studies. A lot of what I learn was on my own.

I was enlightened probably from elementary school. I was raised in a Black liberation household. I learn African/African American history at HOME. I had zero expectation of or desire for "acceptance" from cacs. Ever. When I left home for boarding school and the university I encountered other like minded Black people who made up a good number of the Black student population. I did not judge or look down on middle/upper class Blacks because they hadn't had the Northeastern Urban experience. We had cool Black people from all over. Some were rich AF (like from Beverly Hills, children of NBA players, top politicians, top executives, etc.) BUT NONE OF US were in love with or in awe of cacs. Never that. We did not date them, we did not drink with them, we were cordial and genial, BUT we weren't trying to get set up. No matter how much money you have, a cac can/will set you up.

The MASTER TEACHER, John Henrik Clarke taught at Cornell, an Ivy League school. So it just depends on who was there when you were there and what type of folks you linked up to.

I'd never expect a classroom full of cacs to care about African history.
I think if you go to college looking for a social experience, then college may suck.

I was blessed to meet some very good people who had no illusions about the ways of cacs.

When you have Black people supposedly running an HBCU telling Black students that they CANNOT wear locks or Afros (like at Hampton), that's very potent white supremacy that's ingrained deep in their psyche.

That would NEVER fly at Harvard or Yale, because the Black students WOULDN'T ALLOW THAT SHYT.

But an HBCU can openly disparage and discriminate against Black students and the students COMPLY. They're already beat down into submission to racism/white supremacy and they don't even have to interact with white people. That's that Willie Lynch mind control.

That's some sick shyt.

I don't know about Emory (just Harvard and Yale) so I cannot comment on their c00n factor.

As far as the fashion show aspect, you're not going to catch Black women at Harvard and Yale wearing heels to class, but you WILL see that shyt at some HBCUs. No one is clocking your coins like that at Harvard. No one cares. Real money don't flex.

this is the dumbest shyt I've read in awhile. You have no idea how focused and smart some of the people in CC. Sure there are lot of people there for the wrong reasons and not taking school seriously, but I know and have plenty of friends who were focused as hell and went to CC.

Yep. Got a homeboy who transtransferred from a CC into a TOP Ivy league school and graduated from a hard azz major.

There are intelligent people everywhere.

In every single part of this country there are intelligent people at every socioeconomic level.

The smart people go to CC to save on tuition and living expenses.

There are a finite number of people qualified to teach at a college level for math/science, so more likely than not you'll get that SAME professor from the local large university teaching part time at CC.

Seen it time and time again.

You don't need to be at any particular school to learn DE or Linear Algebra.

I'll ride all day for CCs. No need for the pressure of tuition, loans, etc, when you can get what you need from a CC.
