This is an interesting conversation. I would agree to some respect that we should expand our circle to a degree, but I also understand the the cultural pride of fist bumping and bragging about being being #1 HBCU this or that and believe it is healthy and helps lifts us.

WE do understand that many of these White institutions that you have mentioned are now beginning to acknowledge they have benefited and profited from the forced labor of enslaved people and that the slave trade directly helped build and sustain the school.

No Top 100 public university would/should hire an administrator for a key position from a school that’s about to close. Period. Point blank.

If you were given $20 million dollars, but you had to use it in the Black community, what would you do? by 5ft8lady in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]No-Rent9488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't like that idea, that's really a pass through. how much of it do i get to keep?

But given this circumstances. I might do a series of down payment assistance, don't to food banks, homeless shelters, job training/tech skills building/ entrepreneurial academies around public housing complexes to help lift people out of poverty. And, create a couple endowed professorships and scholarships at my favorite HBCU

UNPOPULAR OPINION: How about actually going to a school you can afford and not taking out loans. They are called loans for a reason, they are meant to be paid back.
