Black Student Group Complains Ivy League School Is Letting In Too Many African Students

Cornell University’s Black Students United demanded the university start recruiting more black American students because the campus has too many African and Caribbean students Wednesday.

Black Students United, a group for students identifying with the African diaspora, handed the university president a list of twelve demands, with one of them dealing with the disproportionate representation of African students compared to black students on the campus.

“We demand that Cornell Admissions to come up with a plan to actively increase the presence of underrepresented Black students on this campus. We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country,” the group stated in their demands.

Black Students United takes issue with the fact that there are more African and Caribbean students on campus when compared to black students. The group defines black students as those who come from black families that have lived in America for two or more generations. While the group said it doesn’t mind the university trying to recruit African students, they want the college to pay more attention to black students whose families have been affected by years of white supremacy.

Dr Thomas Sowell has spoken about this very subject.He shares stories and gives amazing stats that strongly suggest that top schools aren't doing minorities any favors by admitting them when they are,in fact,only qualified to attend a 2nd tier school.He said,among other things,that the drop out rate for students who can't cope with the rigorous curriculum found in such schools is astronomical.

Based on their criteria Mr. Obama wouldn’t qualify for admission. Oops.

What’s sad is that the Caribbean Blacks in Britain are falling under the influence of American Hip-Hop culture.

They tended to be hard workers, but the current generation there isn’t much different than our ferals here.

The Africans and the Caribbeans are better students than they are.
