nahhh man...its about being in a larger pool.
Of course there are smart black people (im black, my dad was a dentist, my doctor as a kid was black..trust, I grew up around black professionals).
But the reality is that being around different types of people is good for blacks. We dont mingle w/ other types of people often.
The truth is that people that test the highest and have the most potential dont go to HBCU's. Its not a knock, its just the truth. Youre also more likely going to meet people w/ connections in the work world (which may be the most important thing to gain in college).
My dude all I will say is that you are sheltered as hell.
Do you think an Ivy League school like Harvard is the real world? fukk no, but you will only come down on HBCUs for such.
If you ever stepped foot on an HBCU campus and seriously communicated with the people instead of just thinking black = substandard, you'd realize how many prolific minds come from these institutions.
I'd go as far as to say that most of your old money in the black community comes from those educated at HBCUs. I know plenty of people who go to HBCUs who could have went to any school they wanted to in this country whether by merit or their parent's pockets and conncetions. I had Ivy League schools gettin' at me just based of my PSAT scores, I could give a fukk about an ivy league tho and thats the story for a lot of people at HBCUs. The network of an HBCU for black people, is dead real, which is why when you go to cities like Atlanta and DC and NYC and Chicago, your biggest movers and shakers are black people from HBCUs. Pretty much every big person in Atlanta I know went to an HBCU or only has a real network because of HBCU alum that they associate with.
At a PWI, a black person will always be second choice. You will not have the strongness of the network as your white counterparts, point blank period. A girl like Rachel would be socially outcasted. She never has a chance at their good ole boy club, even without the drama of this case. Why should she be so thirsty for their ice?
I don't need a white man's connections. I have my own. I understand if you don't though. You probably think that black guy who joined the white frat and was made to dress up like a pimp was doing something positive or some shyt. Lol.
Dude is really arguing the impact black doctors have in delivering adequate healthcare to black patients? I'm sure every negro on this site can count on their hands the times they've been seen by a black doctor. Elderly patients are definitely more affected by this. My god I can't wrap my head around what dude is implying.
