We know a family like this and their kids go to Spelman and Howard. Both parents went to top universities. Something else is going on


If you look at private secondary schools, the black students are picking HBCU, it is what it is

At some point, they’ll opt out for hbcus. When numbers drop this low, there’s a certain power dynamic over black students that drives them away.


I've always taken the stance that reparations should go to HBCU, take the top 25 HBCU and give 1 billion each


That’s not bad idea. Howard’s endowment per student is about $80k. It should be much more. Maybe expand the federal endowment tax and allocate those funds to HBCU endowments.

Could it be that they now use the IPEDS method to report. If you're both black and white, you're no longer counted in the black category, but put in the multi-race category

Duke is in the south. What do you expect?

Most kids I know who were black and grew up upper middle class hated their schooling experience. Being 1 of hundreds of rich white and Asian kids isn’t exactly fun

this is the camp im in. Went to a top lac before diversity was their wheelhouse and wow…it was socially miserable, particularly in my stem major where certain kinds of students felt they were inherently better than me, since there were so few black people. I was incredibly grateful for the faculty and education I received, but I couldn’t stand the constant isolation and the way other students tried to further minimize me.


Was there a racial preference in admissions?

When I was applying? No. There were like 4 black students in the class. Fun thing: people don’t trust black students because they think they’re less qualified; they just don’t like black people.

Duke was one of the few schools to see black admissions after SFFA.
Then SFFA threatened to sue Duke and they stopped cheating.

Sidwell is 15%, most DMV top schools are 10 - 20%

Blum also sued a Black investment fund that awarded Black women business with grants, saying it was discrimination because it excluded White Women

Maybe??

It’s over for your daughters as well you morons.

The Heritage Foundation is working over time to late sure women will not be educated.

If you can not see this is going to happen in 2028 you are a complete and utterly clueless fool.

True for both. Being in too great of a minority is socially miserable. However, today's Sidwell, St Alban's, GDS, etc have solid Black populations, many with umc or higher families.

Decades ago when there was the ability to count race as an element along with other factors, there were still small numbers, but more reasonable (10-12%). Legacies and wealthy white families have alway had the most slots "held" for them and that is still true.

The DMV is not the only place to exist and is simply the minority in terms of having the richest black Americans live inside of it.
