HBCU Funding Cut By $30 Billion In Biden Budget, Some Black Democrats Are Not Having It
Black news daily ^ | October 4, 2021 | Black news daily

Some Black Democrats are not here for the nearly $30 billion cut to HBCU funding in the latest version of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. One of them has even threatened to vote against it if the issue is not resolved.

U.S. Rep. Alma Adams of North Carolina is the co-chair of the HBCU Caucus. She along with fellow Democrat and HBCU graduate Sen. Dr. Raphael Warnock, the first Black man elected to represent the state of Georgia in the senate, have publicly objected to how drastically the proposed funding to historically Black colleges and universities was cut.

Initially, Biden proposed $55 billion in funding to HBCUs in his “Build Back Better” plan. However, when the bill went to Congress for reconciliation, it only allocated a total of $30.5 billion, BNC News reported.

Only in DC would reducing increased spending from $55 billion to $30 billion be called a cut.

What is HBCU, and why are any tax dollars going to it in the first place?

It was Trump who upped it. Amazing that Blacks haven’t open their eyes.

Trump also didn’t make them come begging for the funding ever year. Biden will, if they don’t kiss his ring they ain’t Black.

Who even knew they were getting $30 billion?! With that kind of funding why aren’t they on par with Harvard, MIT, and Stanford?!

It's been that way for decades. Anything less than requested is a cut.

Biden wants to ramp up the revenue flow so that the US brings to the World Order table a good flow of assets and moo-lah. The More a nation can ‘show’ they have the more power they will have at that table.

The media used to love saying: How ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR THE CUT?” Idiots never realized a cut in spending is exactly what it is:A CUT!

Except actual “cuts” never actually happen. All that ever happens when there in a successful “cut” is a reduction in the rate of spending. Even with Reagan I can’t think of an actual reduction in spending, it was all reduction in spending growth.

Some folks never quite seem to learn - they believe in the snake oil salesman rather than experience. Joe is finally laughing and laughing.

In the strict sense, Tennessee State Univ is “historically” black.
