Well I have some issues towards HBCUs because my friend recently turned down some really good schools (namely Stanford) for a HBCU. I think that she has an incredible amount of potential and the research going on there right now would have suited her interests perfectly and set her up for an incredible career. But she chose what she chose (she still wont tell me why, but whatever....)
I'm awake, yall are the ones still sleeping. I already know what's going to happen when I get to Howard. I'll do my work, be valedictorian, go to Law School, probably Harvard's, and make more money than all of you combined.
"Just when I thought I've heard it all!" Yeah, you would be dumb enough to think that. Only when I'm **** will everything worth hearing be heard. Beacuse everything I say is worth hearing.
^^^With your skewed logic and self-proclaimed superior intellect, I doubt if anything you say is worth listening to. But plenty of your comments on this board are worth one of these :lol: , at best.
First of all, DON'T YOU EVER come onto a Black website calling college students "DUMB." I don't care WHAT they do, you watch the way you speak to us as a people. This is potentially the number 1 problem that I have when I am trying to get along with whites.
Secondly, If they are ignorant college students, then YOU are an ignorant HBCU Connect member, because you just ignored the rules!
Before you go off taking shots at our HBCUs and our HBCU students, learn who we are, and where we came from. God blesses our institutions in a way that he will NEVER bless those other schools. We don't need billions of dollars in order to be consider a great institution. Also, keep in mind that HBCUs have produced QUALITY people - thank you very much.
Before you go off trying to accuse black college students of being ignorant, LEARN THE FACTS MAN!
There are white students in universities who act just as bad, so don't even try that.

Look CD, maybe you should try and put one out because nobody would listen to you otherwise. You are just another miseducated black man whining about your mistreatment not realizing that your inability to better yourself is your own fault. And what blessings are these? Poverty? The inability to understand their own plight? Shut the F*ck Up. ****.

You know what....he's made ALOT of good points, and yet y'all bash him.
1) You say go to the gospel concerts, the rallys, and all that that. When push comes to shove, which will be packed more? What will have a longer-lasting effect on those the student population?
2) My hats off to the guy who started this topic. If Cosby himself got on here, and said the exact same words, would y'all be so quick o react? So why turn on him just cuz he's white. Truth be told, I blame BET for the majority of that crap young black minds are exposed to. You know why? Cuz what do you see when you turn on BET 85% of the programming time.......that crap.
3) Hey, it's his OPINION.....he has a right to it. Don't get angry, just get over it!
With the words that were used to describe what he said, I would consider that more as disrespectful, as I would acceptable. We are in a world and a generation where the economy is down, prisons and jails are FULL of our brothas and sistahs, and only the STRONG are surviving. The LAST thing we need is someone telling us who we are and what we are.
If he feels that students in HBCUs are dumb, then that is how he feels. I have no control over that. However, keep your comments to yourself! A TRUE college student would have sense enough to know that.
And exactly what was the purpose for starting up a thread like this?
The problem with us is our mindsets are too negative, and we inflict that upon each other. If someone is not as smart and educated as you are, Absolutely WHAT reason do you have to bash them? I have a saying:
"One's weakness can be another's strength; just as one's strength can be another's weakness." Meaning, your strength may be the other person's weakness; just as the other person's weakness may be the other person's strength.
Not every one gets the same opportunities. One student may not be HIGHLY intelligent, but God STILL loves them, and has a purpose for them. He says "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." What is so hard about doing that? If you don't love your neighbor, then you don't love yourself. Common courtesy.
Not every one is on the same level as every one. How hard is it to have respect for someone as a human being? You have to give respect to get respect, and I did not witness any respect out of this thread starter.
On another note-
If BILL COSBY said the same exact words, I would give him the SAME EXACT RESPONSE! He dropped out of High School and I don't even think he even attended an HBCU. Besides, the man was just accused of getting into an encounter with a female. Leave him out of it.
I don't turn on anyone because they are white. I was born, raised, and grew up in ALL white environments, and I see what I see. When I see injustice, for better or for worse, I react to it. Most of the injustice that I have seen WAS because of the color of the skin, so I do not eliminate saying that something was done due to racism. Although, keep in mind that I do not cry "racism" all the time. Racism does not bother me; oppression does, and oppression is so easy to see, it is not even funny.
I don't watch BET. I have not paid attention to BET in almost a year. Yet I do agree that something must be done to put an end to that madness. That might be the ONLY thing that we agree on. By the way, if you blame BET, what do you plan to do about it? I myself have bigger and better things to do than sit around and point fingers at people and programs. If you witness something that does not belong on TV, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Don't just talk about; BE ABOUT IT!
I will wait for his purpose for creating this thread, and what he was looking to accomplish by creating this thread BEFORE I begin to give kudos. Is this individual part of the PROBLEM or part of the SOLUTION?
