They need their mascot to be the Fightin’ Whities just to get under the skin of the Reds (aka Redskins, collectivists, Communists, et al).
“Historically Black Colleges” are a holdover from our racist past and must all be shut down immediately.
If you want to ENSURE you get a job when you graduate from college, go to a black college. It doesn’t matter how well you do, or how much better your competition at other schools are qualified, you will be ENTITLED when the major companies come on their recruiting trips.
By Line: NPR — did not need to read any further.
As usual, NPR withholds vital information.
Only 3.5% of West Virginia residents are Black.
That means the number of Black students at this college is two or three times greater than their proportion in the state.
NPR also fails to tell us that, nationally, Blacks attend college at around half the rate that whites do.
So, their representation at this school is even more impressive than the two to three times I just mentioned.
NPR does give us a 25 year old statistic to work with - 6% of faculty were Black in 1987.
Once again, compared to the number of Black state residents, and compared to the number of Black faculty nationally, this was also a very impressive number in 1987.
“Where all the black people at?”
“Where all the black people at?”
Heading for Remedial English 101, eh?
Why don’t any colleges ever advertise themselves as a “Historically White college?”
