This shows how very little you know about HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES(HBCU). The keyword being HISTORICALLY. These universities were founded because of the bigoted environment in most places, especially in the South. Blacks were not welcomed in universities in the South, and some universities in other regions were reluctant to accept Blacks. That is why HBCUs were formed. And guess what? If a White person wants to attend an HBCU, he or she is welcomed to attend. HBCU's are open to people of all ethnicities. They are called "historically Black" because historically, they were founded to educate Blacks, when many other universities wouldn't accept them. As for places like Harvard, Yale, and UGA, this is how it works. No one would call them "historically White" because these universities are considered the "default" by many. They are considered "the standard" in this nation. Anything that is considered different from "the standard or default" is named as such.

What does that have to do with today?
This shows you don't know a damn thing about what I know AND don't know.
"HISTORICALLY" blacks weren't considered a whole person. Slavery was legal. How far do you want to back?
The Equal Rights Amendment was signed in 1972. There should be NO "black" colleges. We don't have "white" colleges anymore.
And yes, I know some whites go to these "black" colleges colleges.
Did you read the article? HBCUs are losing a significant portion of their revenue due to tightening lending standards. Since Blacks on average have worse credit than Whites parents seeking loans for their kids are increasingly denied.
HBCUs need to become more dynamic in order to compete. If you're a talented black student most likely you're going to have attractive offers from non-HBCUs. Going forward HBCU are going to have to show how they add value or they will die. They can no longer rely on nostalgia.
The student who is having problems obtaining a loan to attend a HBCU will also have a problem obtaining a loan to attend a non-HBCU. This is true even if you are a "talented black student" or a talented student of any type. Not surprisingly these changes will tend to hurt those on the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder, making it more difficult even for talented students to alter their economic status.

I am against discrimination
The term "black college" means it's reserved for Blacks. HBCU's are not reserved for Blacks. They are open to anyone and everyone. Perhaps you are the one missing MY point.
I don't see what this personally has to do with Obama. Damn, what do y'all do search the internet for endless hours trying to find this B.S. .Why s much hate for Obama, he is far from the worst President we have had. Everyone knows why you guys truly hate Obama, and it is not his policies.

Can't believe I had to go this far into the thread before someone pointed out there is no such thing as a black college. If people have a problem with history, they should hop in their time machines and ask their ancestors why mainstream colleges weren't happy welcoming places for black students.

This basically the reason behind this thread. Most of the posters who post about Obama ruining things for black people couldn't care less about Obama or black people. They just like to say "oh ha ha black people you voted for Obama and now he's messing up your life"
I fully expect to see a thread one day that says "More black women going natural after the price of relaxers increased due to Obama drinking Crystal Light instead of Kool-aid!"

I KNOW about the past and am glad things have changed. I am talking about from 1964 to TODAY.
Keep in mind "in the past" women weren't allowed into all male colleges like the Citadel. All that changes in 1964.
Either you are for or against discrimination.
What would the NAACP if a colleges today advertised as white college?
There are no black colleges. You can say it a million times but that still doesn't make it true. Can you find one document from any HBCU that advertises itself as a black college?
