Many young blacks today do not feel as though they have any history because 90% of what they're taught in school is European history. They might see a chapter or two on Martin Luther King Jr, but not much beyond that.

First of all BET is white owned (Viacom) and it hasn't been a positive channel for black people in a long time. BET used to have programming that encouraged black youth to get educated and they had forums to discuss important topics. BET today shows nothing but worthless programming. If you're white, when you turn on the TV most of the programming is for YOU by default. The news and even most movies are already biased towards you. That's why programming and channels for minorities have to exist. You may have never given any thought to the fact that maybe minorities don't want to watch something like Sienfield or fantasy shows that depict 99% white characters (Game of Thrones).

How is it racist to have grants to encourage black to go to college and black colleges? How welcome do you think young black youth are made to feel in a predominately white school? Can you honestly say they're greeted with open arms and will experience no racism? Black colleges are an option for minorities to get an education in a different environment.

This post is so racially bias and is such crap. Blame whitey for everything why don't you? Sure, everybody black and poor in 2014 is poor because of the white man that doesn't want them in their school, that pollutes their BET, and only teaches them about MLK. get real.

Have a good one and see ya later.

What makes you think black colleges do not allow any other race to join? There are several black university that have a high percentage of enrollment for non-black students. I'm not understanding where you're coming from because what you're saying is not accurate. A quick google search will provide you with information that non-blacks can and do attend black colleges.

Hes pointing out the double standard attached to the black mentality concerning white people. Surely you can see where hes coming from.

And a quick google search, like you said, furnished results that claim to the contrary what you describe as an increasingly whiter enrollment rate at black institutions:

You just jumped in an proved my point. He stated that other races were not allowed to attend black colleges. I stated that was false and what you just posted also shows that other races have and continue to attend black colleges. As for how many or if that percentage is decreasing or increasing I haven't read up on that. I'm not even aware of a lot of white students that have a strong desire to attend black colleges.

You said black institutions have a "high percentage of enrollment for non-black students"

That claim is false.

It's not false. It would depend on what you define as a high percentage. It's a black college, so anyone would assume that majority of students will be black. The stats you posted are very outdated. Again, my original point was non-blacks can attend black colleges.

Black Colleges Actively Recruiting Nonblack Students



The Wall Street Journal is reporting that historically black colleges and universities are actively recruiting nonblack students. Sue Shellenbarger reports that many of the nation's 105 historically black colleges are increasingly wooing nonblack students, in what has become a mutually beneficial relationship for schools and students. The goals: to boost lagging enrollment and offset funding shortfalls.

Some black colleges are stepping up recruiting at mostly white or Hispanic high schools and community colleges. Delaware State University is bringing 100 Chinese students to its Dover campus this fall for cultural and language training. Other colleges are showcasing unique programs. Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens promotes its chorale, which backed Queen Latifah in the 2010 Super Bowl, for example. Even top-ranked black schools such as Howard University in Washington, D.C., and Spelman College in Atlanta are recruiting more aggressively in the face of intensifying competition for top African-American students.

About 82 percent of students at the nation's 105 black colleges are African American, a percentage that has been fairly constant over the past 30 years, according to a data analysis for the Wall Street Journal column by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, a New York nonprofit. Increases in Hispanic and Asian students have offset declines in whites, partly because of cuts in federal and state scholarship programs that encouraged white students to attend historically black colleges, says the fund's president, Johnny C. Taylor Jr. He predicts growth in white, Hispanic and Asian enrollment as black colleges cast a wider net.

We're glad the Wall Street Journal has discovered what is commonly known at HBCUs: There is racial, religious, gender and cultural diversity on their campuses. Recruiting outside of your core group makes sense, especially since blacks have many more options than before. Furthermore, with the elimination of affirmative action programs and massive cuts in funding at mainstream universities, it stands to reason that more whites and Hispanics would be seeking education elsewhere. Yes, affirmative action helped white students, too.

Some graduate and professional programs at HBCUs have been extremely diverse for decades now. It's no surprise that colleges and universities that have always valued diverse populations would reach out to nonblack populations in the interests of continuing this tradition and surviving.

why do you care if you can't get into a black college from the sound of it i don't think its your first choice so really why are you arguing about something as stupid as that and also what i think is funny is how you have a problem with the ***** college fund also. would you rather the people who do not have money to go to college to sell drug and be on the street.

I can see you're somehow failing to understand something I have said over and over again and in great detail. I'm done arguing, so don't expect any more replies from me.

It's recent history that whites committed horrible acts against blacks and even profited from it. The same system is still in place, it just isn't as obvious to some (such as for-profit prisons). It's not about playing any blame game, I just find it odd how America attempts to sweep all this dirt under a rug. This stuff is either very watered-down or completely left out of school curriculum... yet we cram European or "white" history into the heads of all students.

Maybe we're trying to Rise ABOVE!
