We Need More Black HBCU/Programs (We Don't Need To Fit In With White People)

[SirReginald]

Realistically no. Even on the coli, like 75 percent of the people here arent about that life so even many of the people who are "aware" are too selfish and individualistic to give up the comforts of being around whites for the betterment of their group.

In order to be about it, you have to understand that our enemy is not only whites but Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Indians, Arabs, etc. You have to understand that it benefits us to be segregated. The great migration was a terrible event because now AA's are scattered all over and have no real grip on any particular region. We could have been great in the southeast and outnumbered everyone down there. Had one singular culture that we can all embrace. Now, we're just below average everywhere and we have no singular culture that we can all embrace

I thought we got along with other minorities.

If i could go back to my senior yr of HS, i wouldve gone to an HBCU. But why in the hell do all the of the schools in the AUC cost so much?shyt is wild. And then the public HBCU's get a bad rep for accepting all the ratchets and ignorant mf's so that deterred some of my friends from going.

College is expensive enough without paying 20k a year (just for tuition) then graduating and having my pockets hit prematurely

 

[Doobie Doo]

People like this guy have degrees

What a fukking idiot

People like you are beneath me. I am much smarter than you. Again, whose the dumb ass? You can't even articulate what makes me a so called idiot. Because you know I'm right.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

We need to support what we have more properly. Diluting the market won't help anything. Although I like the overall way you sing.

HBCUs terrible and dont care about your blacc ass

See, that's what I'm talking about.

Educate yourself on how blacks are perceived in Hispanic/Latin American society, East Asian society, Middle Eastern Society, Indian society, Jewish society and then come back. Also educate yourself on how whites are viewed in all of the above societies

Long story short, we're more or less looked at with contempt by every other race. Of course there's exceptions but dont try and take the exception and make it the rule

It was and is not as simple and child like as you want to make it.
You think King was murdered because he was too nice. You have no idea what you're talking about and this smart dumb nikka malcom x and mlk comparison you militants keep making is contrived and disingenuous

Read this article: http://www.guerrillafunk.com/thoughts/doc5486a.html and actually read King's speeches, from ALL of his life, not just the I have a dream excerpt you're always given

In Dr. King's book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community, he wrote, "Black Power, in its broad and positive meaning, is a call to Black people to amass the political and economic strength to achieve their legitimate goals. No one can deny that the negro is in dire need of this kind of legitimate power."

Dr. King also wrote, "Black Power is also a call for the pooling of Black financial resources to achieve economic security. Through the pooling of such resources and the development of habits of thrift and techniques of wise investments, the negro will be doing his share to grapple with his problem of economic deprivation. If Black Power means the development of this kind of strength within the negro community, then it is a quest for basic, necessary, legitimate power."

It is important to note, these ideas that Dr. King had on Black politics and economics, are the same positions that Malcolm X communicated in his definition on the political and economic aspects of Black Nationalism. The reason this is important is the F.B.I. felt it would be necessary to eliminate Dr. King if he was to use Black Nationalist tactics. This can be seen through the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) of the F.B.I.

COINTELPRO was and still is, a program designed to neutralize, disrupt and dismantle black organizations. On March 4th, 1968 the F.B.I released a classified document that stated:



"Prevent the rise of a "Messiah" who could unify and electrify the militant Black Nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have been such a "messiah," he is the martyr of the movement today. Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael, and Elijah Muhammad all aspire to this position. Elijah Muhammad is less of a threat because of his age. King could be a real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed "obedience" to "white, liberal doctrines" (nonviolence) and embrace Black Nationalism."



On April 3rd, 1968 in Memphis Tennessee, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the speech that is now known as "I've Been to the Mountain Top." In his speech, he stated:



"...And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you. And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy-what is the other bread? Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain. We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies; and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying, they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike. And then they can move on downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right. But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions.
I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank-we want a 'bank-in' movement in Memphis. So go by the savings and loan association. I'm not asking you something we don't do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. We're just telling you to follow what we're doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies in Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an 'insurance-in.' Now these are some practical things we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here."


King was shot one day after this speech calling for mass black group economics and empowerment. This is the man who organized one of the most succesful boycotts in American history with the Montgomery bus boycott. Do you realize what this man would have accomplished.

They feed you King now as some sort of passive activist who only wanted to live under whites. Those were strategies.

So he came to his senses towards the end of his life but could you picture Malcolm X making the I have a Dream speech?

No he didn't "come to his senses". Everything he did was for a reason. Like I said read a book.
And what does what malcom would have said have to do with anything? They were two different men fighting for the same people. It's not an NBA game, you dont have to pick one. One mind isn't going to save us.

HBCUs terrible and dont care about your blacc ass

 

[MostReal]

If they would drop the whole HBCU term and just be more selective with the student population body it would be more effective and easier to get funding and more students.

Chess not Checkers, brehs

NOPE, you cannot be ashamed of blackness and our history

 

[MostReal]

LOL at nikka's thinking HBCU's mean something. I'm an HBCU graduate and I honestly feel HBCU's are a big ass hustle. They were original implemented to teach black folks how to be GOOD workers which helps out, but HBCU's NEVER TEACH BLACK FOLKS HOW TO BE BOSSES and OWN and RUN our own shyt. They just educate you to be great employees then you think about it and realize every HBCU private/public ,got, and still get their money from white people so they will put a CAP on how much you nikkas learn and what they teach you.

HBCU's mean a ton when you can be amongst your people, live a few years in this world without cac pressure. Realizing how beautiful of a people we are, how diverse we are. Destroying preconceived notions of black people (in your own mind) if you grew up in a white suburb. It does show you how to deal with other black people and The LOVE is REAL. Its genuine & its yours, your history. Stop downplaying the importance of that.

 

[MostReal]

Its nothing like this type of atmosphere anywhere else in the world but at HBCU's

positive educated Black people enjoying life & living it to the fullest

 

[MostReal]

The Love is REAL & its your history
