Can you simply explain what it is you're getting at? I don't know why you're being so clandestine about the whole thing.

HBCU graduates don't support HBCUs enough. Do they not value their experience there and regret their decision to limit themselves there or did their college experience fail to open lucrative careers which would allow them to give back?
Are ypu aware that the only black American Billionaires have ALL gone to HBCU's?That includes Oprah?
They must have gotten enough of a good education to become so wealthy.

I think what rubs me the wrong way about the AUC is the endowment numbers from wiki
$66.7 million Clark
$130 million Morehouse
$367 million Spelman

Maybe these numbers are wrong, but I have a strong feeling these donations come from liberal supporters.
Say these numbers are correct, the math says Clark only gets 11.88 % of all the endowment going to the AUC in total. Even with Clark being the bigger school of the AUC.
Morehouse and Spelman are considered "legacy schools".They have long been schools that have strong support from their allumnus as well as wealthy African Americans that often give to these schools they have never been to.

Spelman and Morehouse are no different than other mainstream colleges that receive resources from liberal as well as other sources.
Coca Cola foundation for example has given lots of money to many of the schools.

Yep, just as I thought. My assumption rings true. Thanks man.

Also wanted to add that CAU has never had the prestige Morehouse or Spelman have had.Howard Florida A&M are other schools with fairly decent endowments.

The Morehouse prestige died years ago. The school is in a death spiral where they'll admit anyone willing to pay tuition.

I doubt their college made the difference. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't even graduate and are immensely rich. It's more the person than the college.

Nope, Morehouse still has plenty of prestige. It has its challenges like many other schools but it's hardly in a death spiral; give me a break gtcorndog.
