The democrat planet. Make promises to people for votes, don't worry about where the money will come from.

What happened to good old days of politics of making promises, but just not keeping them?

Edwards gave a 30-minute speech and then fielded questions from students and others. He told the group that historically black colleges and universities are in danger because some politicians see little need for them after integration. “I want you to know that is not my mindset,” he said.


I've seen people in my life do some stupid shite, but I've seen very few of them justify it in the ways that you do volod.

Looks like you are a pretty effective troll starting this thread and getting exactly what you want without responding as of yet.

That said, all of the LA historically black colleges are doing their students' no favors. In fact, until we all stop insisting that different standards exist for any race, we will never truly move towards equality. The very thing we employ to "make things even," actually move us apart.

JBE actually wants to keep SUNO, the HBCUs, a couple commuter schools and a ton of the worthless community colleges open. That alone should tell you he's unqualified to be Governor.

You just summarized why the whole operating premise of the "black lives matter" movement is destructive to their proposed goal.

This happens any time there is large amounts of black leadership who think they have the best interests of their race by not including outsiders. They segregate themselves and its very sad.

it's graduation rates are so low, when this debate began, you had SUNO defenders saying the job of SUNO wasn't to graduate kids


So, what did they say was the job of SUNO?

Exactly, #BLM is a movement that doesn't even know what it wants.

HBCU exist to serve the public by providing a cultivating learning experience instead of a relentless one.

HBCU are not the problem, and if the educational system were more balanced I could see a reason to dismiss them.

That's when the counselor or parents (cough) need to explain that college isn't for everybody. Learning a useful trade is still a fantastic way to make a living and contribute to society.

I go to a school where only 8 % of students graduate and roughly only 36% are accepted. Translation: Everyone can not get in and only a few make it out. That should be a testament to the difficulty of Southern.

But this is about Edwards, I wanted to see if anyone knew more about his upcoming term as governor.

What the hell is a cultivating learning experience?

What is a relentless one?
