First off, I don't control my child's future.
But I would ask why if better options are available? To be obvious, if you can get into Harvard or Stanford, go there. I'm pretty sure nobody rates graduates from a HBCU on a par with MIT. Why that is the case may or may not be fair, but I don't care about that. I'm just pretty sure that is reality.
I very much hope my child goes to a top-ranked institution. Race has nothing to do with it.

The quality of the education is garbage. It really is. It's not racist, it's fact. Every single engineer I have come across/interviewed from an HBCU has been very weak by comparison and many lack having passed even the FE. Is what it is.
That said, Xavier may be somewhat of an exception.
On a child attending outside of academic merits, it would be what they felt was right for them. For Christ's sake, I was almost a Q Dog....influential teammates.

My mom has taught nursing at a few colleges. She went from UAB to Baylor then to a HBC.
She moved to follow my dad's career so sometimes she ended up in a place without a good college.
The nursing program at the HBC had to invent a class called "Medical Mathematics " Which was basically seventh grade math and taught fractions.
Sad

Because the better schools wouldn't accept them.

Actually, it's because Southern let's you enroll part time. So you can go to law school without having to quit you job.

There is that group. I'll give you that. But bar passage rates are pretty damning.

I went to a majority white school that had some shared classes at an HBCU. They called them inter-institutional classes.
Professor begged me to sign up and pretty much guaranteed an easy A. A bunch of us whities went for the once a week class with a bunch of HBCU kids.
First test was a bloodbath for the HBCU kids. Prof put the grades on the board, broken down by school. We got mostly As and Bs. The HBCU kids got almost all Ds and Fs.
He said it was probably because we were familiar with his style and had access to his old tests, so he handed out old tests before the second and final test. Then he went over them in class and spelled out the answers.
EVERY question on the final, which he counted as double if you scored higher on it than the first test, had been given to us. I guess that was the only way he could get the HBCU kids to pass what was one of the easiest classes I ever took.
What I took from the experience was that this particular HBCU was a complete joke and should be bulldozed immediately.

Here's the thing about Southern Law School. The white people who get in have such bad numbers (GPA/LSAT), they couldn't get in anywhere else. The black students with numbers that bad can get into another low tier law school due to URM status. The black students who go to Southern Law have LSAT scores that barely prove literacy. Sad, but true.

I knew a white guy that went to a HBCU. He's a huge SJW. Joined a black fraternity, always posting shite on social media on Instagram, he also hyphenated his last name when he got married.
