Why do folks diss community college?

[Phoenix Hoely]

Speaking of colleges and universities, I always wondered why PWIs were seen as better than HBCUs? I was reading a comment from someone who seem very problack but tooting their horns on their Ivy League education. Seems a little bit odd to me. fukk white people this, fukk white people that except his institutions

That ether that makes your soul burn slow

That's a good thing tho. College is a competition to me . Every class . I would much rather be in class with dumbasses while I get my As .

If I could rewind time , I wouldve went straight to CC other than University . I was in debt after one semester

 

[Serious]

True to an extent

But if you're taking some upper level classes like fukkin diff eq and calc 3 and calc based physics and engineering dynamics at a cc
Then you'll be surrounded by a bunch serious students and they'll probably be even more serious that the kids at the local 4 year bc they still got something to prove to whatever school they are Tryna transfer to.

Not to mention the smaller class sizes and professors who for the most part genuinely like teaching vs the a$$hole profs at 4 year universities who only care about their research

this, I started at a CC, and had classes where peeps were ridiculously lazy and dumb, but those #STEM classes were sink or swim.

 

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

Idk...I'm going to cc now. I need to take some prerequisites. Why would I go pay literally double the price for one class when they accept the credits either way? My professor teaches at the university too, so it's not like I'm getting a subpar education. To each his own, but I'm paying out of pocket.

Brilliant post. In most cases it's the same professors and course content just cheaper. This is the smart way to go.

And many community colleges have articulation agreements with top state schools anyways. And transfers from ccs outperform the students who started as freshman.

Money pressure & school is a lethal combination.

Cc is the smart way

Although my kids have bonds if they don't have any scholarships to cover the remaining balance of a 4yr semester then they are doing CC then transferring their credits.

I'd rather save now so they won't have to start off their adult years in debt.

No lie, there's kids at CC's gunning for Stanford, Berkley, and other elite institutions. I remember this one chick in my class was taking physics 2(5 units), general chem 102(5 units), calc III (4 units)and Linear Alegbreh(3 units) all in one semester and would ace damn near every test / lab assignment. She literally studied around the clock. She's at Berkeley now studying Nuclear Engineering

Most HBCUs were started/are controlled by cacs OR c00ns.

Public HBCUs were started because Blacks were not allowed to state PWIs. Blacks were allowed at Harvard & Yale before they could attend UVa or UNC.

Black people coming from HBCUs are a good number of med/law/grad students at PWIs.

Harvard & Yale are the oldest schools in the US, therefore the most prestigious.

IMHO HBCU students are more materialistic and superficial than Black students at Harvard & Yale. Also Black students at Harvard or Yale are MORE LIKELY to be politically aware, internationally oriented, multi-lingual, etc.

As far as intelligence and capabilities, Black people everywhere are intelligent.

I think HBCU students have more school pride, etc., and are far more IN LOVE with cacs than a PWI Black person.

Black people at Harvard & Yale are exposed to the most powerful cacs on the planet every single day and understand the depths of cac fuccery from an early age. Try being exposed to wealthy cacs that can literally get away with murder, you'd be militant too.

Going to Harvard & Yale gives you NO illusions about the world we live in.

Going to an HBCU gives you a softer intro to the real world. Delays your nuh wakeup call. Also, exposes you to more bougie phony c00ns.

Not a fan of cacs, but at least I KNOW they hate me.

c00ns will smile in your face and set you up. c00ns also LOVE cacs, while exploiting the HBCU system for their own gain.

An intelligent person at an HBCU can go toe to toe at any PWI.

So I don't count anyone out on the basis of their school.

It's a matter of what type of bullshyt you want to deal with.

I'll never get used to bougie wanna be cac c00ns. Never.

I am more comfortable with Black people who use their power and intelligence to make life better for other Blacks without being AFRAID to confront the cac system.

These people most likely went to PWIs and DGAF WHAT cacs think about them.

I don't know if you are really answering my question. From your post, I am under the assumption that "some" blacks attend PWI to learn how to "decipher" white people. But how big is that percentage of black people who choose such institutions for that reason? Kind of an exaggeration in my opinion. Many choose PWI because white institutions are seen as more prestigious than blacks. At white institutions one can probably gain knowledge at a level much higher than a predominantly black institution. I'm not buying the notion that c00ns are more seen at HBCUs than PWIs.

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.

You still haven't answered my question. You are parading around it. I simply asked what is the underlining reason as to why people choose PWIs over HBCUs? You haven't gave me an answer other than the fact they have been accepted into these schools. You are giving me all this other information that quite frankly I don't believe a lot of African-Americans consider when choosing between an PWI and an HBCU- i.e HBCUs being controlled by Cacs. You offered a lot of informative information, which I already know. But you have failed to admit how big of a role white supremacy plays in these decisions.

lol no they don't

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.

 

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

lol no they don't

At VA Tech in engineering THEY DO.

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

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