Republican Virginia Governor took DACA funding and gave it to HBCUs.

[Rollie Forbes]

Good for them but this brings up other questions. If the state has enough money to do both but is moving money around to fund one, what are they doing with the rest of the money?




Making it too obvious VA lol

You see it.

Underhanded move but extremely smart politics.

You can argue daca folks aren't even American citizens, why do they have priority over born Americans in funding

Hilariously republicans don’t believe black people are Americans either

 

[Apollo Creed]

To those who went to HBCUs, we already know they gonna trick it off

 

[Waka FICO Flamez]

Yall know this is meant to be divisive, no republican care about HBCUs. They got an agenda and yall falling for the okie doke. Do better

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Im no fan of illegals, but the Governor should have just funded HBCUs straight up instead of this Machiavellian bullshyt to pit Blacks and Latinos against each other.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

We can't be divided with groups we were never united with in the first place.

This is what I wanted to say. I have no clue why Black Americans are always expected to be the mules for everyone else.

When the Japanese, Native Americans, and Jews received money from the government, I did not see one of those groups saying no, Black Americans should receive some too. Every time there is some discussion about what we as a people are due, multiple hands by multiple ethnicities are always out in expectation of getting some too. Yet, as I said before, the reverse is never the case.

So no, I do not care that non-citizens are having money pulled from them to give to American citizens, my people, via HBCUs. I am fine with Norfolk State University, Hampton U. and others receive the funds instead of a group of people who rarely if ever stood up for us.

Non Black Latinos make up a large/growing number of new HBCU students which is the funny thing. And I believe some places give them diversity scholarships (dont quote me on that).

You completely miss the point of the article where he could’ve easily funded both but purposely chose not to. Don’t be naive

"Divide and conquer", never truly "united" groups with different agendas, origins, financial statuses....
The cliches never end when it's time to facilitate remittances, swindle funds into boss lady mansions, etc.
The c00n calling, maga-jacketing, and shaming is getting old. Real "paid poster" vibes. As far as DACA folks - are the majority of them black? Do we need to revisit "Creating hispanics" by Cristina Mora?
Predatory Arab and Asian businesses continuing to pop up

 

[MajesticLion]

This isn't the funding you're looking for...

That’s fukked up but of course TLR posters will be all about it. Article sums up what it’s goal is too. Stupid mother fukkers

“Shame on the governor for weaponizing state financial aid as a cheap political ploy to divide communities of color,” said Sookyung Oh, director of Hamkae Center, a civil rights organization in Virginia. “If education was important to this governor, as he claimed throughout his campaign, he could have easily allocated funding to ensure every young Virginian who wants to pursue higher education in the Commonwealth has the resources to do so.”

Critics of the measure say it perpetuates a false scarcity problem at a time when Virginia has a budget surplus, and it demands that lawmakers sacrifice one needy group of students for another.

Only agents would have an issue with this.

No, I did not miss the point. I know both can be funded. I also know that if the reverse was true, they would not care. Not only that, if the reverse was true we would have think pieces made telling us why we should be fine with it. Just like we are told we should be fine with illegal immigration, even though economic studies show that it does harm our non-college educated brothers and sisters where they compete with each other. LA being a perfect example of the harm that was done.

This is some Republican trickery from the same people that want to ban "CRT" but this is a small win in the short term.

I'm glad someone here could see this from multiple angles
