Bothem Jean’s family created a scholarship only for Caribbean students in the US.

[Akae Beka]

So nobody in here actually read the link posted? There were 2 scholarships developed. One by the family and their foundation for students who have luves in the Caribbean at some point. So, if you were born here to Caribbean parents, you would not be given preference over any ADOS.

"Established by Bertrum and Allison Jean of St. Lucia, in memory of their son Botham Jean. Preference shall be given to students who now, or at any time in the past, lived in the Caribbean."

From looking at their foundation page they seem very connected to St. Lucia so that scholarship of theirs makes sense.

Now the other scholarship was established by his school, Harding University, through their College of Business and his former employer PWC for "underrepresented students". Says nothing about preference. And I see regular American black people with others. Yall can go search and see if they're all ADOS since that's so important.

It's usually the same suspects running to these threads, mouth watering when they read(well see) headlines like these.
It's more so a Gotcha and acts of ingenuity than actual concern.
Pretty sad actually.

Wait, that man is hugging a woman that killed her brother?

Two way respect hasn’t been demanded in so long that it doesn’t even cross the mind of internationals that they’re being disrespectful and opportunists.


Build the wall. After ten years of border enforcement they’ll be ready to practice real pan Africanism

The wiseman goes to a PWI with white folk money, sir

Here’s an example tho.

100 Black Men National Scholarship Program

100 Black Men of America, Inc. is a non-profit organization that aims to advance the quality of life within urban communities and provide educational and economic opportunities for African Americans. The organization's national scholarship program is managed by a local chapter of it's national...

www.blackscholarships.org

This is a group specifically for African American outreach and it’s based exclusively in cities without Black immigrants. In order to get this scholarship, you must be part of the group.

The Essence Scholars Program

This one is specifically for African American women.

And honestly it goes on and on..If you go to the financial aid office at your school the lady will give you a big ass packet and usually turn to the end of it and you’ll find hundreds of scholarships for different types of Black people.

It sounds like I provided a link specifically for African American men and women and you’re trying to make it something other than its stated claim because you were proven wrong. That type of maybeism dont fly in a PWI.

This is like nikkas in here somehow saying that Asian kids are gonna get a Caribbean scholarship

JAMAICAN AMERICANS,
HAITIAN AMERICAS, NIGERIAN AMERICANS ETC ALL QUALIFY FOR THESE AS AFRICAN AMERICANS YOU DUMB MUTHAfukkA.

THATS LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT
OF CREATING DISTINCTIONS LIKE
FBA & ADOS.

[timeless]

Sounds like it's meant to help people coming from the islands? Is that a bad thing?

 

[O.G.B]

Grown ass nikkas still crying about scholarships and jobs like its 1996.

Its 2022.

We creating our own jobs and employing ourselves now.

Too bad you & your ilk couldn't create your "own jobs" in your "own" homeland!

 

[Peachstate]

Good for them.

As long as y'all keep the same energy when ADOS scholarships start popping up.

 

[PoPimp84]

I didnt even finish college.... I dropped out in my sophomore year

You'll never see me crying for a scholarship or a job.

Try again.

It’s not simply about the scholarships, it’s about the mindsets behind the scholarships and the blatant hypocrisy with them. You’re being purposefully obtuse bro cut the shyt

That's his new anti ados schtick. The last one was anti ados (and therefore pseudo) pan Africanism.

Making up your own definitions against the stated aim of the scholarship is just as meaningless Because if it was called the tariq nasheed jollof jumpoff scholarship you would make the same erroneous claims about who is getting it lol.

Reading builds strong bones.

They never have an answer for this lol

 

[Buddy]

I still remember how after Travyon Martin died, people were talking creating and supporting Black owned (as in Black American) businesses, our own institutions, etc.

Nowadays... people just point to what other groups are doing like "seeee?"... see WHAT?



And the REAL irony is the Tariq gifs/smilies thrown in. Cause people definitely haven't spent the past two decades fundraising his projects I mean the model/practice is deadass in front of you, but let's keep funding movies/museums/etc and tell ourselves "pEoPlE WiLL sAy iT's DiViSiVe" if we funded scholarships instead.

 

[MoveForward]

Hold up… I went to college and I have NEVER heard of a scholarship that was ONLY for black Americans and excluded other black people throughout the diaspora. If I’m wrong, I’m ok with that but point me in the direction for them please.
