Tom Joyner offers Rachel Jeantel a FULL SCHOLARSHIP to any HBCU - (Trayvon Martin)
- Thread starter Theraflu
- Start date
I'm shell shocked at these dudes. Surely with the way white media have ridiculed her and the fact that for the rest of her life she will be known as 'Trayvons friend at the trial'. Wouldn't it make perfect logical sense for her to go to a university among her own.
Her whole existence is now marred by an incident which will probably taint her view of white people for a while, where else to send her but somewhere she can gain an education as well as learn more about her importance as a black person and more about her history.
Seriously. I think a HBCU is perfect for her. You know cac's won't let her live on a PWI campus she would probably be ostracized.
So you honestly believe that Rachel Jeantel who for the rest of her life will be attached to this case is better off getting her education at a PWI ? You honestly would think going to a PWI over a HBCU would be a good idea for her ? Seriously.
This thread is fukkin remarkable. Has it ever occurred to the naysayers that something like Tom's offer might could be encouraging and in turn give Rachel incentive to work towards a goal so maybe if we ever see her on TV again she'll be forming whole sentences???
What is the issue here? He could be planning to set her up with mentors for all we know. Something gotta give.

Ok
For starters.. spelman tuition is like $30, 000... The U tuition is like
$20, 000... why spend $30, 000 (which is the price for most HBCUs)on the young lady if she wants to go to the school for 20, 000.. And plus I coulda sworn the environment they were in was predominantly white anyway
maybe that's the problem. Having people who look nothing like her, don't live in her neighborhood trying to educate her. What's the old saying? Having your oppressors teaching your children is a recipe for disaster. For some reason I know you don't object to that. You guys really don't understand the importance of having black teachers, administrative figures hands on in a black persons education. I mean I've seen on this site people downplaying the importance of black physicians and those in pursuit because it's too much school 
and too much student loan debt not understanding the importance of black doctors treating black patients especially those in black immigrant communities like Rachel's.Sheesh brother look at the bigger picture. Most black kids have learning deficiencies from neglect in the education system.

And we saw how far that got her. Perhaps her being around educated black people will be encouraging. She clearly isn't thriving in a predominantly white environment.
Edit: Props to Black Elitism for pointing that out.

Well.. I simply do not agree with Tom Joyners reasoning of why he will only support a persons education if they attend an HBCU..
