This isn't a sport, where one or two blue chip athletes can turn around an entire program.
Simply put- more top students at HBCU's will do very little to improve their rankings/funding, etc.
The Supreme Court decisions on Affirmative Action and student loans are set to drop today at 10 am.(Edit: Affirmative action struck down 6-3)

But we will be educating and getting the best of our best now.
If white folks don't wanna hire you cause of your school cool...maybe now we can focus more on cresting our own fields...and trust me..them white folks will hire the best of blacks...they been doing that since the beginning of time. White people will eventually overlook race to ensure that you help them before you help your own.
LSU wanted to hire my Grandmother as a prof but she told them in a letter that they didn't want to educate her when she was qualified to get the best of the best so she went Grambling State College which most blacks did in Louisiana at that time.
PWIs don't understand it until they get all Asians and Indians....so fukk em.
Booker T said it best...give us what we need and we can produce the best of the best. Dr. Francis Cress Wesling said it also. In 30 yrs the whites gon regret it.

That's how it worked for me. Hs admissions officer (boarding school) said I was the best candidate she'd seen that season, and then I just continued at the same level of output and moved to the next level. Black kids are able to get into top schools, Ivies, without affirmative action.
That’s not how this thing works breh.
That said, it would be amazing if black kids started going to hbcu's. My mother tried to get a few kids in but they were too far away from home (the young men went on to learn trades, but locally).
Lmao i want to be shot down so i can see how Asians spin it next when Ivy league arent accepting at the rate they want
but republicans controlling the Supreme Court is not good for anyone
I'm curious too. They got no other scapegoats. I guess they'll start coming after athletes next
Labeling them as "pawns" denies their agency and complicity.
We still got people acting like white people have a monopoly on racism and everyone else is our brothers in arms like Asians don't actively practice anti blackness in alignment with their desire to be as adjacent to whiteness as possible
They did this in solidarity with white people's objections to AA because they thought the flimsy AA arguments white people invoke also apply to them. They fukkin want to be white breh

We shall see. Great black lawyers come from Southern University...Howard turns out great doctors...Bowie State produces alot of great nurses....Morgan has always had a good engineering program. And now they have funding to compete somewhat on a broad scale.

This is true from gator. More funding actually comes from recruiting black professors who receive grants for their research . A single high ranked and published professor in medicine or engineering literally brings 10million dollars to a school from the nsf and nih . Sadly these black professors are congregated in those white north east universities. Now imagine have twenty of them at Howard or Xavier
They are the blue chips in education.
Students are irrelevant to department's federal funding. Your whole department could be filled with perfect SAT students and your budget won't budge, because these kids aren't allowed to do research grants. In fact , professors hate to teach undergrads for this exact purpose. That's why there are so many TAs and LAs. It's literally not worth a professor's time
Republican states have been underfunding HBCU's by billions for decades.
How America Cheated Its Black Colleges
Compared to their predominantly white counterparts, the nation’s Black land-grant universities have been underfunded by at least $12.5 billion over the last three decades.

This makes too much sense for the withhold votes for tangibles nikkas on here
Yup.
I casually scrolled through this thread and see people pointing fingers at Trump and voters and different ethnic groups... This is all RBGs fault. She didn't want the black president to replace her, wanted to wait for the white female president, that never happened and she passed on.

I'm aware yet we still produce champions. I'm proof of it. I'm a Black BFA major who is now in a museum permanent acquisition. Ain't no PWI helped me. All Negro education.

I did all this at an underfunded art program...
No EXCUSES
This is true.. The push for getting our children back into HBCUs need to be resurrected.

What no one is talking about and even dares to address is that even if we get rid of Affirmative Action, every kid with a perfect GPA, SAT score, & the right activities still won't get into their dream Ivy League because there aren't enough SEATS. Universities practice Eric Cartman's model of using exclusion to increase demand. It'll be interesting to see where the discourse on admissions goes after this because they can no longer use Black folks as a scapegoat.

I'm aware and yet we still produce.....the point you are making is null and void.
