The historically Black institution was founded in 1881, but was crippled in 2003 when it lost its accreditation after an investigation revealed two top officials embezzled millions in student financial aid and redirected it to other purposes.

Corruption in another black-run institution... seems to be endemic. Oh well, black people have been winking at corruption since some genius first uttered the phrase "stick it to the man". It will never change.

To be honest, this really saddens me. All because of a couple of greedy lazy low lifes.

yes... absolutely disgusting... to bring down a 120-year old institution... what happened with the perps?

There used to be a tv show about a black college (which did admit white applicants). What was that called? I actually liked the show.

i did a little digging... she used federal dollars—student grants and pell grants—to pay the University’s debts... of course, the grants were for students, but the students were not eligible because they were no longer at the school, or they were part-time students... she did not actually profit from the embezzled funds... aye, aye, aye...

do you mean, "A Different World?" it was a spin-off of "The Cosby Show."

I second it. There are more college opportunities.

At my parish there is a family or a small group of families who have come from Nigeria. Across town, there is a thriving Ghanian community.

probably. It was wholesome enough to be Cosby-related.

I hate to break it to you, but all black people aren’t the same color regardless of the amount of racial mixing you seem to perceive. I used to live in Namibia, and if you thought that Khoisan, Ovambo, Himba, and Kovango people looked anything alike, you’d need to get your eyes checked. These people run the range from extremely dark skin to folks that are almost paler than me - and I’m of Scot descent. And that doesn’t even include mixed race people like Bastars and Coloureds.

A Different World, spin-off from Cosby Show when one of the Huxtable daughters went off to college. Loved that show.

I hadn't run across the term Bastars before. I wonder if it is derived from the Dutch word bastaard which my Dutch-English dictionary defines as "bastard, mongrel."

These colleges have lost their reason for existing, as legal segregation was ended decades ago. Sounds as if they have trouble competing based on their own merits, the quality of their own academic programs, etc.

And it has to be hard to recruit a talented student body. Black students can attend any college nowadays. Odds are that the historically black colleges are getting less academically qualified students, the ones left over, who couldn’t get in anywhere else.

Is that a woman trying to be a guy, or a guy trying to be a woman?

It is religion, culture and education that determine a society’s values. They are not inborn. The fact that many Americans are mixed race can do nothing to change them, white or black. Only education in the scriptures and individual surrender to God can change a person’s heart.

Africa is not uniformly black, and there are precious few African-Americans with any blood at all from Kenya, since it faces the opposite shore of Africa from the Atlantic slave trade. (However, Arab traders certainly DID penetrate deeply into Kenya.)

Most slaves came from West Africa, sold by Arab conquerers. There certainly is, however, much European blood among modern “African”-Americans.
