And yet he went to Holy Cross and Yale. Wonder how many clerks he’s hired in 31 years from HBCUs. Wonder why he’s never taught a course at Howard.
This. I'm gonna throw a fit if this thread devolves into a bunch of people saying "well he's right." fukkouttahere.

Black people should go to college, period. If you want to go to an HBCU, go. If you want to go to a "PWI" then go. Going to college is the best decision you can make for your long term financial status. Go to college, major in something concrete (teaching, medical field, business field, engineering, computer science, biology, etc) and make a life for yourself.

And if college is not for you guess what? That's not the end of the story. There are well paying trades jobs you can study for. There are well paying federal jobs out here you can get. Whatever you can do to find success, do it. Lets go black men, we got this.

It’s the money part of it. The good ones don’t really give any money out. Like my ex had like a 30 SAT score and was a 4.0 student with half being at an elite high school and had college credits and only got a partial scholarship
My lil sis graduated 2nd in her class, 3.9 GPA, 32 ACT., 2 sport athlete

None of the HBCUs was throwing a bag at her, unfortunately

So she went BIG 10 on a full ride. Parents were pissed, she would’ve been a 3rd generation HBCU grad

Clarance is just an enigma of contradictions. He's like a faux-black nationalist c00n. :mjlol: Nothing he does makes sense. Jim Crow Clarance wants to go back to Jim Crow Era (which is hilarious since his white is white), but will side with politicians that will purposefully underfund HBCU's. :mjlol:
It’s a fascinating documentary by PBS’s Frontline that really delves into the psyche of him and his wife by really detailing their upbringing.

He had a real emotionally damaged development that’s caused him to swing from a black nationalist phase where Malcolm X was his hero all the way to going down as one of the biggest known c00ns in modern history. And some of the main components was his mother’s abandonment, and the fact he was called black and ugly, relentlessly.

He was a Black Panther though. So his viewpoint falls more in sync with what they preached than yours on that matter. Your describing more of an assimilationist approach.

Thomas is an assimilationist cosplaying as a black nationalist. Went to white colleges and married a white woman while making Plessy v Ferguson arguments.
