[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I encourage all African-American's in this thread who are pointlessly debating with many posters who are stomping and cheering in celebration of this recent shift in focus by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division to consider the following...

This recent release of Segregation 2.0 could actually be beneficial for HBCU's as threats of litigation, costly reporting requirements or federal funding reductions could compel predominantly white Ivy League and large state universities to reduce the number of minority entrants, which could bolster enrollment at highly selective HBCU's like Howard University and Spelman College, and large public HBCU's like North Carolina A&T and Florida A&M.

Don't believe the hype people.  Affirmative action being picked off by judicial conservatism at the highest levels may seem like a bad idea, but for the schools that exclusively serve the people whom will most be affected by its demise, it may reintroduce HBCU value to the nation and world.

Thank you.  Both my parents attended HBCUs because they were forbidden from attending the flagship universities in their state.  I attended a HBCU grad school BY CHOICE.  If you think back on it, aside from the Ivy League, these schools attracted the best and the brightest because they were most welcome at these schools.  I want to see kids go wherever they want and do not want to see them arbitrarily shut out of schools - but I wish more would see the benefit of HBCU's.  [/quote]
Yeah, my dad was forbidden from attending an Ivy in the 1950s. They had a strict quota on Jews.[/quote]

Yea, well strict quota by definition indicates that some were allowed.  Not the case with my parents.  Anyways, I am not one who engages in competition about whose people had it worse.  You have the other PP for that.  LOL[/quote]

Kudos to you for not engaging in the competition about whose people had it worse.  That pointless debate is both frivolous and futile because it is entirely subjective and totally irrelevant.  My personal take on this whole issue regarding the investigation of universities to eradicate possibly anti-white affirmative action policies is GOOD!  I'm not stomping and cheering in celebration like so many others who see this as a pivotal victory in the battle to bring an end to minority "hand outs" - but I am encouraged by the inevitable progress that will come about as a result.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic but I genuinely believe the inevitable outcome from all this will be the rise of HBCU's.  Consider this, in 2014 for the first time the nation’s K-12 student population was majority minority.  With predominantly white Ivy League and large state universities deliberately reducing the number of minority entrants it stands to reason that this growing populace of black and Hispanic high school graduates will eagerly embrace institutions like Howard, Hampton, Morehouse, Spelman, Fisk, Florida A&M, Tuskegee, Xavier, etc.  This increased enrollment will result in the hiring of more minority staff and faculty who often find themselves shut out of predominantly white colleges and universities.  That means more jobs and more opportunity for advancement.

Another consequence of more minorities attending HBCU's to consider is the significant cultural and community impact it will have on this up and coming generation.  Malcolm X once said, “America's strategy today is the same strategy as that which was used in the past by the colonial powers: divide and conquer.”  That strategy will be weakened significantly when this up and coming generation of minorities as opposed to being ostracized and overlooked as outcasts on predominantly white campuses finds themselves empowered and allied as classmates, alumni, and colleagues from their connections on the campuses of HBCU’s.  That shared experience and increased awareness of one another will put these minorities in a much more advantageous position in an increasingly diverse world than their white counterparts who will undoubtedly find themselves lacking in exposure or awareness of other ethnicities.

It is my opinion that much like original segregation sparked the greatest unified effort by blacks to come together and rise above, this new incarnation of Segregation 2.0 will have the same positive impact and will ultimately bring about the changes within the black community to propel us even further forward.
