Okay good, because this is the same things corporations do. They are the BIGGEST welfare queens in the world. So my point in asking is that if Trump is giving blacks something, especially based on his ego and the fine print is legit, I think we should be trying to get that money. A lotta niggas on here are rejecting Trump outta pride which I understand, but I'm gonna always say from this point forward, PLAY BOTH SIDES. Get whatever you can. That's what all other ethnicities do, including the jews.
Now knowing white supremacists, they'll find a way to sabotage the game, BUT, in the meantime, milk the shit.
Grrrrrr get em fam!
Your examples are jokes. The ban (which they say isn't a ban, even though their guy blabbed that it started out trying to be a ban) was poorly thought out, and more poorly executed. The immigration raids don't help us at all. Obama deported a shitload of people but at least started prioritizing.
....and remember, while (despite what he tries to say) Trump came into office with a relatively healthy economy and sub 5% unemployment (remember from macro econ... 5% is considered full employment), Obama came into office with an economy going off the deep end... I believe 7% & rapidly rising unemployment. In his first month, he got the American Reinvestment Act passed. Look at where we were when he took office compared to where we were the day he left office.
Stimulus vs immigration raids and a failed ban........

This click bait for the uninformed
An executive order that requires funding might as well be toilet paper because POTUS cannot fund a damn thing..
All funding comes from congress..

I took that as a joke but the serious problem is that my people truly have lost the "we over me" mindset
It was closer to claspe as we have ever been shit got to 11% right before he saved the auto industry from collapse.
It's amazing how folks are trying to tear down that legacy.
It's really like we forgot WTF Bush and GOP did to the world through 2007

Myth 7: HBCUs suffered while President Obama was in office.
The federal government is responsible for nearly $5 billion of revenue annually to 101 HBCUs that qualify for federal support, through grants, contracts, appropriations and student aid. Across every indicator of federal support, revenue to HBCUs increased while President Barack Obama was in office. This data reflects the first six years that Obama was in office because the last two years are not yet available.

HBCUs received nearly $3 billion more from federal grants, contracts and appropriations in President Obama’s first six years in office (2009-2014) than they did in President George W. Bush’s last six years in office (2003-2008). The worst year of federal-grant revenue to HBCUs under Obama ($1.9 billion) tops the best year under Bush ($1.7 billion).
One of Obama’s signature achievements was expanding the Pell Grant. When President Obama entered office, HBCUs received approximately $536 million from the Pell program to support low-income college students. In his third year, HBCUs received approximately $867 million.
However, Congress established a series of measures in 2010 to curb federal spending on the Pell program, including setting a six-year cap and ending support for summer school. Consequently, HBCUs lost Pell funding every year between 2010 and 2014. When accounting for profits and losses, HBCUs netted a $200 million gain in Pell during President Obama’s years in office, with a $330 million gain occurring in his second and third year.
Federal student loans followed a similar trend. The Department of Education took steps early in Obama’s administration to control lending, which had immediate benefits to HBCUs. In Obama’s second year, the total amount that HBCUs received from federal student loan programs for undergraduates increased by more than $100 million. However, changes in the Federal Direct PLUS Loan Program made tens of thousands of HBCU students ineligible.

Through coordinated efforts, in October 2014, the Department of Education announced revised regulations of PLUS loans, which reversed most of the changes that had disproportionately impacted HBCUs. During the years that the changes to PLUS loans were in place, HBCUs lost approximately $55.8 million in loans. Accounting for this loss, HBCUs’ revenue from all federal student loan programs increased by $117.8 million over the years Obama was in office.
Notwithstanding HBCUs’ success over several generations, many HBCUs have experienced financial hardships and administrative challenges. I do not challenge the myths associated with HBCUs to minimize legitimate concerns, rather to provide the best information to HBCU advocates who are genuinely interested in promoting HBCU growth and sustainability. Many detractors have used misinformation about HBCUs to question the relevancy of HBCUs.
Using myths and misinformation to question the relevancy of HBCUs is not new. Last year, I met the legendary president of Xavier University, Norman Francis. He told me that the year he became president of Xavier in 1968, someone asked him if HBCUs were still necessary.

For HBCUs to achieve greatness, they have to relinquish the posture of defending their relevance and get in the stance of asserting their excellence.

Bump^^
This budget proposal from Trump sure indicates that he will do way more for black people

Considering Trump's M.O. why do you think he want's to help HBCUs?
Bump^^

I tried to listen, but Paris Dennard is unbearable to listen too. He practically derailed that whole conversation with his bullshit
This HBCU arguement is the most bullshit discussion point. Trump doesn't give a shit about the working man, middle class, factory workers, miners, and especially black folks.
Black trump supporters got played and will continue to get played. Black mega church members who support trump, is using religion to bow down to white supremacy.
Great topic reboot.

yup ,he gonna return you nizzas to HBCU"S and get you out of public state supported white institutions,when people are dumb enough to ask "what has obama done for me" it's time for Trump ,because the stupidity of the question implies that it came from the mind of a fool ,and fools are other men's slaves
Key strategy for them. If you're getting called on your bullshit and can't pivot, then derail.
Its refeshing to see him get called out on his bullshit though
"Instead, Trump’s first presidential budget released Thursday calls for “maintaining” $492 million in appropriations for HBCUs and minority-serving institutions. Combined discretionary spending for those schools, however, is actually $577 million right now. The White House directed questions about the discrepancy to the Education Department, which did not respond to requests for comment."
Good thing Trump signed that EO moving the program for HBCU into the Whitehouse and therefore making it a priority.

Blacks can do more for blacks than any slave position in a slave institution. Why do we think they call it the black house?
Them first 100 days is almost up...what's the mathematics so far? 
One day stupid mofokrs will learn that trump gives lip service to charm the feeble minded.
Trump can't do shit that costs money with an executive order.....congress writes checks not the president....
And while he can direct funds already approved he won't do more for hbcu than Obama did..
Keep believing Obama didn't do anything if that makes you feel good

He thought this shit was going to be easy. 10 days from reaching the 100 day mark and his ass don't have one single legislative achievement. Not one
Trump is straight up a candidate for dumb people. All politicians are... in their own way. But this guy. To support this guy is to engage in a level of self delusion reserved for the dumbest amongst us.
He thought this shit was going to be easy. 10 days from reaching the 100 day mark and his ass don't have one single legislative achievement. Not one
He almost started a war and he is close to opening a new wing in a federal prison for his whole party
You are so right. The Republican Party of the 1860's was the abolitionist party responsible for the end of slavery. That party does not exit today. When LBJ signed the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, racist Dixiecrats left the Democratic Party for good and became Republicans under that piece of shit Nixon. Consequently, the Civil War Era Republican Party is now the Democratic Party and the racist Democratic Party of old is now the Republican Party. The script has indeed flipped.
Trump suggests financing for historically black colleges may be unconstitutional
By MICHAEL STRATFORD
05/05/17 07:55 PM EDT
President Donald Trump signaled Friday that he may not implement a 25-year-old federal program that helps historically black colleges finance construction projects on their campuses, suggesting that it may run afoul of the Constitution.
In a signing statement on the $1.1 trillion omnibus government spending bill, Trump singled out the Historically Black College and University Capital Financing Program as an example of provisions in the funding bill “that allocate benefits on the basis of race, ethnicity, and gender.”
Trump said his administration would treat those programs “in a manner consistent with the requirement to afford equal protection of the law under the Due Process Clause of the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment.”’
Previous presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, often issued such statements when they signed legislation to signal they may ignore or disregard parts of laws passed by Congress.
In his first signing statement, Trump outlines a range of provisions in the spending bill that he says would “unconstitutionally” limit his authority as commander in chief — and indicates that where the bill conflicts with the White House’s interpretation of the president’s powers under the Constitution, he will go with the Constitution.
Neither the White House, nor the Education Department immediately responded to a request for comment.
Trump’s statement also suggests concern about programs listed under the “School Improvement Programs” section of the budget. Those include a wide range of education-related programs, such as after-school initiatives and programs that support Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native education.
Advocates for HBCUs and a legal expert said they were confused by the reference to the HBCU financing program.
Cheryl Smith, senior vice president of public policy and government affairs at the United Negro College Fund, also known as UNCF, which advocates for private HBCUs, said in a statement that the organization is “puzzled by this provision and seeking clarification from the White House as to its meaning.”
Smith noted that the federal designation of an institution as an HBCU is not based on race, but rather on mission, accreditation status and the year the institution was established.” She speculated that the “signing statement may simply be the Office of Management and Budget being overly cautious and perhaps not fully understanding this important distinction as it relates to HBCUs, but UNCF needs more information regarding their thinking and intent.”
Under the program, which was created by Congress in 1992, the Education Department provides federally-backed loans to historically black colleges and universities for the construction of buildings and other facilities. The bill provides $20 million in federal loan subsidies in fiscal year 2017 to support as much as $282 million worth of financing to the schools.
Derek W. Black, a law professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law who studies constitutional and education law, called Trump’s reference to the HBCU program “rather odd.”
“If Congress is validly spending money on these programs, and there’s no court finding or litigation suggesting discrimination, the idea that the executive would unilaterally not allocate those funds would be a rather momentous position to take.” Black said.
Although Congress and the president have long tussled over war powers in signing statements, for example, Black said he thought it was “very unusual” that the statement alluded to apparent discrimination in education programs.
“The administration is basically putting us on notice that they think there might be a problem, and therefore they might have to exercise judgement in these programs,” he said.
He also said it was unusual that the statement referenced only “race, ethnicity and gender.”
“Why stop here?” he asked. “If you’re worried about the allocation of benefits in unfair ways, why not add other things like religion or disability?”
