"Obama was the president of all america not just black america"...or some shyt
Most HBCUs are under performing, low job placement, debt building endeavors. Nostalgia aside, if they aren't up to scruff they should go. There are too many "higher education" institutions that aren't actually helping their workers. And that HBCU's or PWI.

What?
HBCUs are the only reason why the masses of Black people have a college degree...
Obama literally crippled the ability of young poor Black people to get an education...

A new study from the Brookings Institute reveals that historically black colleges and universities, on average, nearly double the capacity of predominantly white institutions in helping minority and low-income students achieve higher socio-economic status.
Using data from the Equality of Opportunity Project, a formula measuring the admission and graduation rates of low-income students factored with accompanying income records, shows that HBCUs are among the nation’s most effective institutions at helping large percentages of students go from low-earning families to middle and high-earning households after graduation.

Obama’s complicated HBCU legacy
When they talk about their frustrations with Obama, Taylor and other academic leaders talk about trims to the amount of time covered by Pell Grants and other changes to loan programs that left thousands of low-income students at historically black colleges unable to pay tuition.
Obama’s roller coaster relationship with HBCUs
Still, those increases went disproportionately to non-HBCUs. Between 2000 and 2008, HBCUs received on average 3.5 percent of federal money going to institutions of higher education. By 2013, even as the overall federal higher education budget grew, the HBCU share was down to 2.8 percent, according to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which lobbies for black colleges and supports students with scholarships.
In 2011, education officials decided to tighten federal requirements for the Parent Plus loan program to prevent families from getting in over their heads with school debt.
The result was that many students, particularly those at HBCUs, found themselves being rejected for loans and unable to pay for college. The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) estimates that about 28,000 students at black colleges — nearly 10 percent of the students at HBCUs — lost their Parent Plus loans during the 2012-13 academic year. Some were rescued by emergency grants and scholarships. Many others were forced to transfer to local community colleges or other, less expensive schools. Still others had to drop out altogether.
Even as HBCUs were reeling from some Obama administration policies, Congress moved to reduce the number of semesters that low- and moderate-income students can receive federal Pell grants from 18 to 12. Lawmakers also limited the use of the grants to just two semesters a year, which became a burden for students who rely on summer school to make up credits.
Obama invoked the proud tradition of HBCUs and said that he did not think that people looked down on the schools. But he went on to lament the HBCUs that are struggling with low graduation rates, adding: “We don’t want a situation in which young people are taking out loans, getting in debt, thinking that they’re going to get a great education and then halfway through they’re dropping out.”

Let's be real...Obama crippled Black students and HBCUs and inadvertently the Black population...and gave 0 fukks
Trump might do something...he might not...
What good is a college degree in relation to black advancement if you are not getting the types of jobs and pay that allow you to move up the ladder and break some of the shackles blacks express in society.
HBCU's have long been a system created to give blacks to opportunity to get an education because to put it blunt, white folks didn't want us getting an education. Now we can and there are plenty of schools that can offer a quality education. Propping up over charging, under performing HBCUs in the long run will do more harm than good because people don't value degrees from bad schools.

As a black man who was in school during Obama, joined the workforce, and is doing pretty well I can say that my experience does not relate to the above statement. Therefore, I can tell that the black population was not hurt under obama because of Obama.
If you really want to delve into educational issues there are both federal and state issues. The important of which happened here in NC where busing was considered to be unconstitutional, states have been able to gerrymander local schooling districts only giving funds out based on the taxes the communities in that pay, and now a decade later we see what happens when you have an entire generation of students brought up through poorly funded schools.

Black people don't get jobs because White people do not want to hire Black people and never wanted to hire Black people...
Black people with college degrees got less than wealth than White people with college degrees...
Black people with college degrees got the similar outcomes than Black people without college degrees...
Black people suffer fro structural failure...of the US political and economic systems...
HBCUs per data...provide poor Black people a safety net...
HBCUs create over half of Black professionals in this country...
There's nothing wrong with HBCUs...soemthing is wrong with White people and the USA...
You don't gut an institution that prevents millions of Black people from being uneducated and poor...because Black people don't end highly successful...when there's an entire political, economic and social order against them.

This doesn't make any sense...
Under Obama Black people got poorer and White people are back to the way things were...
Under Obama HBCUs got gutted...
Under Obama the Pell Grant got gutted...
Under Obama middle class Black millennials will most likely end poorer than their parents...
Under Obama Black millennials college degrees do not matter...
Under Obama rich people got richer...a lot of richer...like robber barons rich...
Just because you are doing fine doesn't mean the Black population is doing fine...
It just means you are doing fine...
you aint even watch the video
