Fyi, Spelman does admit white women as well as women from every race. It is an HBCU, so it was founded with the goal of educating black women, because at the time in the states black people were afforded very few opportunities in higher education. It's mission statement is simply paying homage to the reason it opened up in the first place.

Also, Morehouse college, the all male counterpart to Spelman, is literally right across the street. The two schools constantly intermingle

HOw does this college not get sued the frick out itself for violating Title IX? That's a serious question. I'm not saying I oppose an all woman's college, in fact I think every institution should be able to discriminate as they see fit, but that isn't the world we live in.


It isnt discriminating against anyone though, unless of course you are a male. But even then that's not the case, as Morehouse, an all male university is literally right across the street. The two schools basically have the same curriculum. Spelman provides cheerleaders for the Morehouse football team, etc. The only reason the two schools have not joined is because of tradition.

Doesn't Title IX only apply to federal funding? I think if they are a fully private then they can do whatever they like.

If I want to go to Spelman, how can I identify and live as a black female?

ETA: "Honkeys"? What's the plural?




Honkys.

Do you honestly believe they would think to use the "e"?

Title IX only applies to schools that accept federal funds. Maybe they don't?

We need some strong, independent men to step forward and break down this wall.

Spelman does not admit male students, including students who self-identify and live consistently as men, regardless of gender assignment at birth.


Are they going to follow you around and make sure you don't "live consistently as a man"?

The likes of Condoleeza Rice will be attending a university other than Spelman.

Fun fact - she first got interested in international politics when she took a class taught by the father of Madeleine Albright.

So basically they just allowed every gender to get in as long as you are black?

What if I identify as black? Can I get in too. I mean I would have to change my identity (which I guess is easy because it's not real) to black from white and to female from male.

However, in all this identifying can I keep my white privilege? If not...NO DEAL


All HBCUs admit non-black students. Most just can't attract very many.

Spelman College, a Historically Black College whose mission is to serve high-achieving Black women,
only respects science that fits our warped belief system, such as global warming, the war on gluten, and racial bias.

We reject the ideas that fetuses are living humans and that gender is determined by that human's genetic makeup and chromosome count.
