Do you remember how long ago segregation existed? Man, you are stupid. Did you expected them to just close up shop and say "We are all good now. I'm sure the gumps will love us at bama".


Wut. Plenty of black kids at bama.

I have no problems with keeping Confederate statues and memorials. I have no problems with keeping the traditions and hertiage of HBCs (as long as there is no formal policy of discrimination for public institutions).

For that matter, if a private university wanted to have all black enrollment (or all white, all Native American, all male, all female, etc., for that matter) - I would question their wisdom, but I think that is within freedom of association.

But these colleges are true symbols of racism and segregation. And they generally suck academic wise. Its pretty much the same as keeping seperate water fountains.

If you want to go to Southern, you can. With segregation, facilities could not be used by races not so designated. That's a big difference.

thats like asking why mike brown can steal from a store, shove the clerk to the ground then attempt to wrestle a firearm from a cop and turn into the victim.

As someone who spent years interviewing people for jobs I can tell you that Historically Black University's put out a lot of Historically Bad Candidates.

I work on Savannah a couple of times a year, and see the kids that go there around town. Most of these people seem mildly retarded, and will probably never hold a job down.

You sound mildly retarded. How do you work "on" Savannah. Good luck holding a job down with that awesome grammar.

I went to an HBCU on a diversity scholarship for undergrad. The education was OK if you were willing to work on your own. Biggest issue was the multiple academic bankruptcies that would be handed out to kids there.

Because they are historically black colleges and universities that were established during a period in this nation's history where blacks weren't afforded the opportunity to attend white schools, keyword being historically. They are no longer all black colleges and universities. Enrollment is open to all races you idiot.

i think that people in Louisiana are typically jaded by HBCU because Grambling and Southern are generally considered two of the worst when it comes to HBCU

now if Xavier and dillard were more thought of than grambling and southern, the the Louisiana general thought of HBCU might be quite different

HBCU exists to provide opportunities for blacks in which they may be prevented from and/or have difficulty accessing. This is due to multiple reasons ranging from low income to academic practices that are disadvantageous to the student (my issue).


If you need better examples or info I can provide that.

What "academic practices" specifically are disadvantageous to blacks?
