Allow me to echo what many have said on this board: blacks need to experience these acts of micro agression because we REFUSE to develop our own! Once we develop our own institutions of higher learning and specialized training, we won’t need to seek acceptance from the dominant culture.

I’m starting to sound like a broken record here.

Terrance Amen is absolutely correct. We should’ve had schools/colleges a long time. Even separating the boys and girls would benefit black children. Having black women teacher for the girls and black men teacher for the boys. I wonder how many black people would support having more black schools and colleges.

If we as adults and so called leaders had our act together as a united community, our students wouldn’t have to go to these hostile schools. If we were a united people, we could easily pay for our brightest to go to schools that cared about them and gave them a great education.

Instead, as I’ve said before, our Black colleges and universities are struggling to survive while our brightest students and athletes are making billions for the so called mainstream schools, while being treated like the enemy.

This makes no sense. We need to start steering our best students and athletes towards our schools so they can start making some of those billions, while making sure the students get the best education and support needed to become the best they can be in life. If we don’t do this, we’ll continue to here stories like this and worse.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

I was a legal student in a mainstream university in Canada because unfortunately, we do not have HBCUs. I went through hell at the end before my graduation. For instance, the former dean of the law faculty howled at me (in private of course (in her office) which shows their hypocrisy)because it was her way to make me feel that I did not belong there. I am sure that she expected me to become angry, leave and slam the door. But I did not give her this pleasure because I knew why I was there and I had every intention to graduate. I was even offered by these racists to have my entire money (for my studies)back instead of graduating. I am smart enough to know that getting my degree has much more value and I made sure that I graduated!!! Only 0.8% of Black women in North America are lawyers. It is disgusting and the system is designed to make sure there are few of us in the legal profession to put more of our brothers in prison. We never had a Black female lawyer at the Supreme Court in North America. I could go on and on!!!

This is why I strongly believe in HBCUs. It is not that important to me to be in a mainstream environment especially when it can be hostile!!!
