These schools are quite well funded. Nevertheless, they are make-believe colleges that exist only for political reasons.

I have no idea one way or the the other about Spelman or Howard.


quite well funded? guess you'd better take a look at wilberforce, central state or the former morris brown. have you ever been to the claflin or sc state campuses in orangeburg, sc??? visit and then tell me about appropriate funding.

Perhaps you should read the post again, wherein I specified HBCUs in North Carolina; they have more than enough funding to undertake their mission of attempted remedial training. But regarding your stupid, snotty comment about my colleague being an elitist -- should he apologize for having made something of his life? Are you just a little envious of the guy, a Black guy from a poor family who made it through the Ivy League to get a PhD before the days of affirmative action? Maybe everybody who tries to make something of himself and succeeds should apologize to the great critics.

They are not all well funded. Anyway, I said "most" weren't, and are no position to offer substantial financial aid. Therefore they are not competitive when it comes to recruiting better students. A top student has to really want to be there and have parents willing to pay (or take out loans) in most cases. When that happens, they tend to go to the Morehouses and Spelmans, etc of the world.

I don't even want to know what "political reasons" means. LOL. Let's just leave it alone.

If you really don't know, then you really don't know much about appropriations and state legislatures.

When you want to leave something alone, don't comment on it

The word political can be used as a euphemism for multiple things around here. I wasn't sure which way you were going with it.

But the next time you feel the need to give me instructions on what to post, you should know I'm highly likely to ignore the living hell out of them. LOL

This guy graduated from Morehouse as a valedictorian:

Joshua Packwood | LinkedIn

He got a job offer from probably the most prestigious division of Goldman Sachs and was in the news everywhere for being the first white valedictorian of an HBCU.
