Well you fit the other stereotypes perfectly from your posts so your mostly there.

If your not religious stands to reason your Pro-Choice..so you made no great distinction

It looks like there are about maybe 1% non-black students in those pictures. If diversity is so important why are there 99% black students at that school when blacks represent roughly 13% of the U.S. population?

You said that. No one else said that. I saw an add for an online Christian dating service. Is that a site for bigoted zealots? No.

And if you weren't so pressed about it, you wouldn't be posting about it.

Frankly I don't care who goes to any school. Unfortunately not everyone has that attitude. Most liberals place a huge importance on diversity. Why is diversity so important? Obviously the students attending these mostly black schools don't think it's very important. Are they getting a lower level education because of a lack of diversity?

I think someone (IE: you) need a little dose of reality.
Thanks for posting. I enjoy comedy.

Are you suggesting that Hampton go out into the suburbs and kidnap white high school graduates and force them to enroll at Hampton?

Perhaps you can point to a white college that did the same to increase their minority enrollment.

If you can't answer those questions honestly, one can only at the conclusion that you are nothing but a troll.

Because those are the people who apply. If you've got some evidence that these schools are denying application to those who aren't black, by all means provide it.

The majority of those in nursing programs are woman. Is that because the schools don't want men in them, or because women apply for these programs far more than men? I'd say it's the later.

Rick Roma ... !!! Precisely !

Indeed ...The utter hypocrisy regarding this matter is absolutely unprecedented for these days and times !

It truly appears that all dat good ole "racial diversity" is jest fer certain color blighters and ain't meant at tall fer dat utter color bunch ah folks !

It all otay ... causin tha white folks will jest has ta understand it all ! Otay !

Upon further consideration ... This incredulous matter appears to be perhaps one of the most horrendous examples of "Racism" within a country
whose "asleep at the switch government" claims that the good people in the States have acheived an oh so wonderful state of so called diversity!

Certainly the good folks in the States are not so blind that they cannot deduce such a blatant and shameful level of the "Promotion Of Racism" as this !!!

May this nations loyal and patriotic citizens wake up very, very soon and effect the extremely great changes that are so desperately needed to re-establish the America that our "Founding Fathers" intended along with the great "Pride" of being an American citizen !

I have no doubt that the "Good Folks" in the States can accomplish this great undertaking !

Cheers / Old Sgt. Lamar

Nobody has complained about the fact that some White people may want to go to school with other White people. The issue has been the fact that for quite some time there were colleges and universties in this country that refused to admit Black Americans or discriminated against them.

If you want to go to a college that is 80% to 95% White I'm sure there are some out there the meet your criteria.

So what's your complaint?
