President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he signed “groundbreaking” legislation supporting historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

The legislation will permanently fund HBCUs and simplify federal financial aid applications for millions of families, the president said in a statement Thursday.

“President Obama and the Obama Administration were unable to get this done. I got it done,” Trump said, arguing that HBCUs have never had a champion in the White House before his presidency.

Funding for the HBCU’s was in jeopardy a few months ago until the White House and Congress collaborated on a “historic agreement,” the president said.

Why is “groundbreaking” in quotes? Is that some way of editorially lessening the import? No matter. I know Trump wants the best for all Americans.

'“For the first time ever, I signed legislation to permanently fund HBCUs and other institutions that primarily serve first-generation and minority students,” Trump said. “This action guarantees more than $2.5 billion over the next 10 years, including $850 million specifically for HBCUs.”'

Rubbing the spending in our face.

Yes, because he is defrauding the democrat slavery party of Black votes that he may gain by actually doing something for Black/African-Americans.

Too many details. Let’s just call it “obstruction of Democrats”. Definitely impeachable.

Back in the sixties separate but equal was suggested and it was rejected.

Now they accept it.

Times change.

I just hope that over the next fifty years we get the investment back in more taxes because people are earning more.

Chalange then to become a one percenter.

I hear less and less blacks “on the street” condemning Trump; I believe his targeting of the open borders/invasion of our country really resonates with them (I DO hear them condemning foreigners).

Condemnation of Trump among blacks nowadays seems confined to politicians and pseudo-politicians (black “leaders” paid off by politicians).

In any case, I don’t support throwing more free sh!t their way; there is just less and less incentive to pay taxes if it is just going to fund our own demise.

I think a lot of blacks are going to be very surprised to learn that “they already voted” in the 2020 election....in other words Trump might get some blacks out to vote for him who have been penciled in for many years via voter fraud.
