The Roland Martin Discussion Thread

[m0rninggl0ry]

The point is we don't have to support no organization ran by & started by CACs

Wells and W.E.B were founders

Going to an HBCU was one of the best decisions I ever made. Black people have failed HBCUs tho and its a shame

Breh, Black folks ain't got no resources, how can they fail HBCUs

I have to find the article, but Roland Martin was called out by a HBCU grad for not going to a HBCU ( Roland graduated from Texas A&M). He talked about how it hurt and bothered him that someone could question his black views because of where he went.

You can tell by that article he was in upset about it. That's where the guilt comes from. I'm still happy he's defending and helping them.

I went to a PWI and I am all about HBCUs as an adult. As a kid, I just didn't know but even then, it's not perfect but it all we got for Black professionals

Becuz we don't go anymore.


We do. Its not as celebrated or promoted like it was 20 years ago


There was a thread not too long ago about President Trump ending a program that funded new construction at HBCUs. Of course everyone was outraged. I made the statement that we wouldn't have to rely on federal money if we all actually spent our money there.


True but in the world of BLACK philanthropy takes money to give money

Of course people deflected and said why would they wanna go to underfunded schools.

Many HBCUs been around since the 1800s and thrived for a long time without federal funds

I said the same thing

Too many of us who have resources don't go. Way too many black folks going to college are quick to pick a PWI becuz it looks better on a resume. HBCUs were thriving at one point. As soon as we got access to other schools they have gradually gone down hill

This is false data to a degree. Do we aggregate it? Yvette spoke on it.

I will say PWI are offering Black students free rides because they are Black/minority ( of course he/she must have a 3.0 & up)

But that's an issue, a lot of HBCUS have a watered down pool of talent to choose from outside of the engineering department

I have the same feelings. It is what it is.

Guilt? What do you mean?


@Geoffrey_Chaucer @BmoreGorilla @ByAnyMeans thoughts?

Dude u posted is a wannabe CAC
Who has negative shyt to say about HBCUS
And black people not from the region he is from

I don't give a fukk bout anything he says

So to say they were founded by whites is wrong.

Wells rode hard for black folks primarily black men more than dubious.
