Isn’t it possible that historically black colleges and universities need to adapt or go out of business?
Their reason for being no longer exists. Blacks are not being kept out of other colleges anymore.
The Negro baseball leagues went out of business within a few years of Jackie Robinson breaking the color line in baseball. Their reason for being no longer existed. The world had changed. Perhaps the same reasoning should apply to these colleges. If they can’t run themselves properly, lose accreditation, etc. then maybe they should no longer exist.
Flame away, I know what I said is controversial, and would be called racist by the liberals. But I would love to know, how do you justify these colleges when blacks are not being discriminated against in attending any other college of their choice.
Well, what about the faculties of these universities? What’s going to happen to them if we let these universities go under?
(Sob.)
You can’t justify it. Blacks will continue to hold on to whatever it is that justifies their “victim” status in their minds. They refuse to let go of the “big pay back” mentality that whites must pay for what they did. Either they assimilate with the rest of us, and become responsible for their own destiny, stand up on their own two feet and do for themselves, or they will continue to lag behind the rest of us, by choice.
“But I would love to know, how do you justify these colleges when blacks are not being discriminated against in attending any other college of their choice.”
They are past that; they are given seats in “regular” colleges for which they aren’t even qualified.
Black colleges can’t disappear now because they are the only schools where poorly-educated black students can be comfortable and “play college student”. When I was in a state school too many of them were very obviously behind their non-black peers; this caused low morale and high drop-out rates. Black colleges can maintain the facade that they are prepared for the twenty first century, especially when employers are forced to hire them for jobs for which they aren’t qualified.
