Thanks to Donald Trump, HBCUs are on America's radar again

[Pressure]

not sure that was my question
I was asking about Trump

He hasn't done anything yet. We will see when hIs budget proposals come out and clear congress.

Yep, this is exactly it.

That's why Devos made that comment about HBCUs being pioneers of school choice, which seems to be code for segregation.

This should be obvious but I see some people one here like "nahhh"



You would think nikkas on a Hip Hop forum would catch the subliminals.

When I saw that photo of Trump and the HBCU I had to sit down stunned.

Why even show UP to even hear a word what this megalomaniac has to say? Why would they think he would want to help us?

There shouldn't have been one black man to attend that event.....

After White House courts HBCUs, budget disappoints school leaders

The black community thrived in segregation.

The black community in the U.S. has never "thrived" period.

The black community thrived in segregation.

How old are you?

After meetings with the Trump administration, leaders of HBCUs expressed “cautious optimism” that an increase in funding would be included in the White House budget. After Trump's budget was released, HBCU leaders discovered that an increase in funds were not appropriated by the White House. Were HBCU presidents only called to Washington for a photo op with the president? Where is the funding increase to HBCUs in President Trump’s budget? Will the increase in funding be appropriated by Congress? Johnny Taylor, President, Thurgood Marshall College Fund joined Roland Martin on NewsOne Now to discuss HBCU funding.

HBCUs constitute three percent of America’s colleges but produce 20 percent of black graduates, 50 percent of black public school teachers and lawyers, 80 percent of black judges, and 90 percent of black BA’s in STEM fields...
Don't let your Trump hate blind you.
Increasing their funding is something great for the African american community.

Thanks to Donald Trump?

You have those numbers? What amount of funding has been granted?

Also if betsy devos at the same time is going to decrease the amount of federal funding a student can receive to go to school and given the prices of these schools already, how will that play out?

You are so full of shyt.

don't waste your self respect here

Nope

can you post proof of their funding having been increased?

It pass the senate via unanimous consent. shyt was veto proof.

Imagine it taking 3 years, being impeached, and a Democrat led house for him to follow through on his "promises."

Regardless, it will play well on the campaign trail.
