It sounds like the Sub-prime loan debacle all over again.
I’m shocked so shocked by this
sarcasm off
Must be that White privilege thing I keep hearing about, no?
Stealth reparations.
Isn’t it possible that historically black colleges and universities need to adapt or go out of business?
Their reason for being no longer exists. Blacks are not being kept out of other colleges anymore.
The Negro baseball leagues went out of business within a few years of Jackie Robinson breaking the color line in baseball. Their reason for being no longer existed. The world had changed. Perhaps the same reasoning should apply to these colleges. If they can’t run themselves properly, lose accreditation, etc. then maybe they should no longer exist.
Flame away, I know what I said is controversial, and would be called racist by the liberals. But I would love to know, how do you justify these colleges when blacks are not being discriminated against in attending any other college of their choice.
These facts are racist!

This is rasis.......
Laws are merely guidelines for the unimaginative and small-minded.
Well, what about the faculties of these universities? What’s going to happen to them if we let these universities go under?
(Sob.)
It is the blind leading the blind in these so-called “colleges”. What a sick joke.i
Wealth redistribution.
HRBC’s are a weird mix. You have some truly excellent schools, like Tuskegee, and you have a lot of schools best known for their “noncompetitive admissions.” (I went to high school with a guy who scored a combined 720 on his SAT (out of 1600, this was a while ago), and had a 1.9 GPA, and was accepted to an HRBC in a neighboring state). From what I’ve read and seen, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of in between, “average” colleges and universities. It seems (again, from what I’ve seen) very feast or famine.
As for what to do about it...I don’t think anyone is served by funding a school that does not or can not meet basic academic standards. Least of all for the students who attend there. Cranking out unprepared graduates at the university level solves no more problems than it does at the high school level, and creates just as many (though HRBC’s are not the only schools guilty of this practice.)
The counter-argument would be that African-Americans, etc. come from disadvantaged backgrounds/bad schools/etc. My counter to the counter is, enroll in a local junior or community college for a year or two. You’ll get the opportunity to catch up on the basics and prep yourself for a four year degree at a school that can offer you something for your future in terms of a career.
Crony educationalism.
You can’t justify it. Blacks will continue to hold on to whatever it is that justifies their “victim” status in their minds. They refuse to let go of the “big pay back” mentality that whites must pay for what they did. Either they assimilate with the rest of us, and become responsible for their own destiny, stand up on their own two feet and do for themselves, or they will continue to lag behind the rest of us, by choice.
Well, really it’s hang onto God and trust Him to teach them how to be strong and furnish the wherewithal. Nobody “stands on their own two feet” in a vacuum. Nobody.
