Betty DeVos has destroyed public education in Michigan. Fact
Trump and his family only enrich themselves. fact.

Questioning Obamas lack of effective policies during his term is not tearing anyone down, it is taking a look at his policies and how they hurt the people that voted for his ass. Obamacare is a fucking travesty. Hillary and Bill put more blacks in jail EVER, but you don't want to call these dixiecrats out and be mad at Trump, who has been upfront about everything, and what he was clearly going to do.
Stop right there for a second:The fact that people are actually upset about trunp giving money to push black education, something Obama tried to take away, is illogical.
Until we have actually have seen the executive order, we need to refrain from assuming it is something that will HBCUs more money. Two things the Executive Order should NOT be:
1) to take money out of the Dept of Education
2) shouldnt be turned over to the States. This way itll be up to the Govs of FL, GA, AL, SC and the rest of them republican controlled states to decide how much money they will get. And whats the push nowadays with HBCUs? Merge them with bigger universities. For years the Florida Board of Regions BEEN trying to turn FAMU into Florida State South
Ok lets talk department of education: Can't be any worse after Obama's education department, if we want to speak on a history of failures, put it all out there
Oh. And y'all let me know if I am wrong, but I just googled how many colleges are there in the US and I got 4140 (including 4-year private,4-year public, 2-year,etc).
Now I don't know if all of those colleges are eligible for federal funding but I will guess that all of those are eligible. There are about 117 HBCUs, guessing the same.
Now based on this quick math, 117/4140 is 3%. Now that doesn't include student numbers, but most HBCUs aren't that big.
So basically, it kinda makes sense that they only got 3%?
I'm just spit balling here...got anything else?

Yeah I know..lol
It also amazes me that people continue to forget that we were dealing with a housing crisis, an economic recession, and a WAR.
Am I the only the remembers this shit..... Jesus.. Where was the money supposed to come from.. Leprechauns

That's right he was the MAYOR...
Trump is the very definition of "white privilege." He's allowed to do all of the thing Pres Obama couldn't... including helping black folks. I don't agree with everything Pres Obama did, and I can be critical of him for things he didn't do, however ignoring the power dynamic and how it's practiced is you either being willfully ignorant to an abrasive degree or purposefully disparaging for the sake of controversy. Obama played too much golf, used air force one too much, etc., etc... and you expect black people to ignore the viciousness with which he was attacked over the slightest thing, bc Trump is going to give money to HBCU's?
It's a smart political move... it should've happened under a democrats agenda, but it in no way buys my allegiance or support. What it does do is give me a bargaining chip... to play when the democrats (assuming they will) come back into power. Dems want my support... prove it... start to address some of these problems or WE WILL support the other party.
So I say "thanks for the money... it's long overdue." Then I turn around and shame the fuck out of Dems for not holding up their end of the bargain and demand specific items for my support.
Can we move on from this nonsense discussion?

What have you done for Black America? Now I'm curious...
Side note... 10 pages.
The outrage is the "More for black people" bullshit.The fact that people are actually upset about trunp giving money to push black education, something Obama tried to take away, is illogical.
OP is definitely a coon however if anyone is showing fake outrage that trump is giving money to HBCUs, they're likely a coon too.
And rightfully so.
But ask yourself this question...
Nation wide stop and frisk, law and order governing, empowering p9lice to kill with impunity...
HOW MANY BLACK FOLK WILL MAKE IT TO COLLEGE?
Yeah give money to HBCU, while FILLING prisons with black men.
We call that unequal funding, but your math is similar to the way people justify unequal pay for people of color, loans, federal funding etc, all under the "it makes sense."
Do you not remember the lawsuits, which were settled by the govt due to this fuzzy math?
Haha. Exactly. Mouse traps have peanut butter on them.
Stop right there for a second:

Exactly... That's what I mean about the Cost. Look at Tennessee State... They had to sell their soul to survive and sadly I dont know if you can still call them an HBCU any more.
Whats the story on this... I need more information.
Just remember that prison was filled by the politics of Bill and Hillary Clinton, two Dixiecrats, one who ran his campaign on locking people of color up, and a wife who supported Goldwater, labeled people super predators, but folks mad at Trump cause he might throw some money to HBCUs, wants to clean up Chicago by any means necessary, saying the same shit about the media Malcolm X said, and rounding up all these illegals?
No enlighten me about the fuzzy math. Are you talking about the black farmers?
I'm fine with wanting him to give more than their allotted share. I'll champion that effort, but that's not what you argued. Instead you brought up Dixiecrats and threw the 3% number like it wasn't in line with the numbers. Ole changing goal posts ass ninja ..lol
I bet you sourced that 3% from a right wing op ed. He also increased pell grants opportunities and funding as well

Expanding on this:
Black Americans are caught between factions fighting for control on the education front. Most HBCU's were started up with Jewish financial help and still have those ties. The states' approach to that has always been the same - fuck you, if you want to suck on their tit then don't come to us for money, sink or swim bitches! - and just play the waiting game for such schools to flop and they can get them folded into the state systems on the cheap later. So the schools turn right back around and reach out to the federal faucet and play that game.
And I'm supposed to just roll along with some "pride" bullshit talk from these clowns who pretty much don't own their own. Get your damn house in order.
what i've been saying since day one
And for the first time in history the prison population was decreased by....
What President Again?
It's ok... we know
President Obama set aside over a billion dollars for black farmers....and put two justices on the SCOTUS who have and will come down against racially motivated voter suppression laws. Trump will do everything he can to promote and implement those same laws.
You still aren't obligated to support him if he did.
I don't know. Mask posted it.
His whole vibe is Paris Dennard..
If the Chicago gun murders don't drop by 70% in the next two years, I want to hear people like you blame Trump...and if they don't do the same in NYC, his home, I want to hear the same. Of course neither will be his fault, as it wasn't Obama's fault....and never in the past have we held a President responsible for street crimes in his hometown....but apparently in 2008 it became the norm.
You kinda outted yourself with that last one. It also made no sense.
Repeat offenders, makes sense.
How would you know said hand was his?
Fools were sitting around holding their dicks or sitting on their hands and got mad because no one came and grabbed those hands and put something in them.
