Every little lily-white leftie college is rolling in the dough teaching little rich kids communist thought, and schools where kids are trying to pull themselves up the bootstraps are struggling for funds?

It’s time for whites to start attending HBCUs. Get your cut of the pie. Plus, whites legally qualify as a minority at a HBCU.

Also, why do they need “badly needed assistance”? They can’t manage a budget? They can’t charge for services rendered?

I think this is pretty much a black university.

$500k a year for each college is not much money. While I’m not convinced that this is a good use of my tax dollars, at least it’s several zeros short of the usual massive liberal waste.

Most of these ignorant saps won't even get their degree, and most of the ones that do will have their degrees in African or gay/lesbian studies and will be indentured servants to the federal government for the rest of their lives.

High school graduates need to start doing a cost-benefit analysis of what their degree is actually worth, now that everybody gets one whether they can read or not.

It’s the whole legacy of slavery and historic discrimination thing. These colleges will never be at a point where they can manage budgets or deliver education to their students without assistance. Just the way it is with political correctness and the liberal world.

On the other hand, isn’t there a college which rejects all federal funding, and is doing well? I seem to recall a story of a college which rejects federal funds, and even disallows its students from getting federal student loans.

Anyway, the story line is: HBCU entities are handicapped due to the legacies of past wrongdoing.

This must roundly condemned by the CBC and liberal press, because, it is RACISM.

It is a decision they like but it is a decision, a benefit, granted on the base of RACE, ergo it is RACISM.

Where are the Asians, the Hispanics, the Native Americans up in arms over this!

This is PC racism, but racism it surely is!

But, the beauty of the system they have devised, is that it is racist to even point out they are being racist!

See?
