DUKE university ends full ride scholarship only open to black students

[jilla82]

at the end of day the onus is on black folks as a people to move like Asians when it comes to education

anything less than that is taking the power out of your hands and waiting for someone else to help you

What about legacy admissions, that also historically favor a certain race?

Legacy admissions is affirmative action for the wealthy

Man the energy that's about to be spent crying about this could go into improving the schools we do have.

 

[Voice of Reason]

damn... those white women gonna be mad at this affirmative action opportunity being lost eh fellas

White women mainly benefitted in business contracting not education.

These types of scholarships were the reason I was able to graduate without debt. Going to be a rough future for young black kids.

I’m sure black men will be blamed for fallout from this.

And the ones that succeed despite this setback will still be burdened by society by never ending requests. to step up and help save everybody else from their situation.

Okay.

It's not going to impact their recruiting in basketball, is it?

They're already in here attacking other black people for this.


They'll talk shyt about everyone but the people they voted for. Isn't fighting things like this why you helped put them in office?


Well, they're in office, so what are they doing about this?


Or did black people just not vote enough

Respect your opinion, but I've always disagreed with this sentiment. Every large community of people has a wide variety of segments, opinions, values, and habits. Dr.Bann completed an entire series about the backstories , founders, and builders of HBCUs last year. The example to follow is in the footsteps of the segments of previous generations of AAs who put a premium on education . Not in emulating Asians.

Because there are different segments with different values, this is not something we can move on collectively. There aren't many things we have control of, but (individual) household expectations and views on education are definitely one of them.
People are who they are.

I think I understand the point you're making, though

anything less than that is taking the power out of your hands and waiting for someone else to help you

Yes

Compartmentalizing black opportunity is a gigantic step backward. We shouldn't have only "This". We should have "This, that, and the other."

Lay the blue print breh.

the blueprint has long been laid by Elders who dedicated their lives to ensuring the future of our race.

if we didn't listen for all those long years - 100 years at least - what good is trying to come up with some new plan now?
