Why HBCU's Are Still Fighting For Equal Funding

- Since 1890, Historically Black Colleges have offered the promise of equal access to higher education. But former Confederate states haven’t always provided equal funding. In Tennessee, one legislator is now pushing to finally balance the books.

Is College Still Worth It? The New Calculus of Falling Returns
by William R. Emmons, Ana H. Kent, and Lowell R. Ricketts
You have to be white to get any ROI from college.
Not even white people get a benefit from grad school...
Just get a job, marry someone similar, make babies, and payoff a mortgage ASAP....
Everything else is a distraction...
Black Churches have enough money to fund ALL HBCU, clinics, and any and ALL black institutions + organizations.

This is sad and shameful.
Most of these people who commented obliviously did not watch the video, don’t read history books, and are just here to be trolls 🙄.
A financial endowment is a legal structure for managing, and in many cases indefinitely perpetuating, a pool of financial, real estate or other investments for a specific purpose according to the will of it's founders and donors.
When black people come together and create endowments full of educated professional financial investors and money managers then the change will come.
Why are there no introductions for the speakers? Shouldn't there be titles at the bottom of the screen listing their name and roles?
I know people in the comments are saying non-Black students can go to HBUs, but I still think the concept of massively disproportionately Black-specific colleagues is counter-productive. The way I see it, they were a sub-optimal solution to a historic, and to some extent continuing, problem. The reason they are sub-optimal is that concentrating a deprived social group in a particular institution or place is always going to run the risk of reinforcing that deprivation, because of the way that social feedback loops work. Put simply, money and power is attracted to money and power.
It's the same problem as having large-areas of a city being exclusively social housing - those areas tend to see lower levels of investment. Social housing is still good, but it works better when there is diversity of income. If _all_ you care about facilitating social mobility for Black students, then subsiding and supporting their education in more diverse institutions is probably going to be more effective.
Tentative +1
Pay them what they are owed just like the other colleges that are being funded. Its that simple.
This comment section AINT IT
In addition the new generations of African American well of individuals shd also donate since majority of their communities will benefit from attending those schools.
Rappers can take a cue instead of buying diamond/gold jewelries.
Pay them $750 mil to TSU to rebuild and fund their school
What did George Floyd have to do with this. Smh.
The ignorance in these comments LOL.
AGREED!
They are right
Can’t wait for the comments on this one.Especially 2:34
Just to be clear, we still gone come for that money yall owe.
Raise those neighborhoods taxes simple. Affluent black neighborhoods like Hyde Park in Chicago have higher taxes so they have better education. What's not to understand. When try to buy something at store do you get confused when spend less money and you get less?
more money does not mean better schools
it's about the culture in the area
The value of a college education is vastly overstated. In most cases the opportunity cost of not working for 4 years + the cost of college is much less than the discounted value of the increase in future earnings- meaning if you worked for 4 years and invested part of your earnings, you would be better off than going to college for 4 years and then struggling with student loans.
Focusing on formal education as a means to end poverty is a flawed approach. What we should be doing is looking into institutionally racist governmental regulations and occupational licensing laws that prevent those in poverty from starting their careers.
good
Thank you for reporting on this.
Why
Balancing books is important. What is more important is EQUALITY - both for the white and the Afroamerican folks.
Nope
Private funded universities don’t get state money lol…. Why is this the states fault?? Run your school better lol
It's a shame that in the 21st century people's attention span is so short that they don't watch the video before commenting. For those tempted to up vote this, I will briefly summarise the problem so the truth can be known.
After the Civil War, universities were set up in the South as part of reconstruction. These Land Grant institutions were to be PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, not Private Universities. As segregation meant black students were not allowed to attend these universities, the Federal Government funded the creation of Land Grant Colleges for Black students. Under Federal Law these all Land Grant institutions would be entitled receive a Federal Grant AND a State grant matching the federal amount annually for their funding. Historically, the Southern States funded the White colleges every year but, the Black colleges were not. The problem was recognised 50 YEARS AGO, and NOTHING was done. The amount owed is nearly $500 MILLION at today's prices. That's why it is a problem. If you have read so far Thank You for reading this. Have a good day.
Exactly.
Tennessee State is a public university. What does that have to do with private universities?
I see why RUclips disabled the dislike button.
yup
How is it not racist that only black colleges exist? Isn’t that discrimination?
It’s not “only” black it’s historically black. Anyone regardless of race can attend these schools. These historically black colleges exist because of white supremacy that would not allow blacks to attend college. It’s in history books.
They don’t discriminate on race
Lmao go to history class
@@letrat7021 that's true
and i think they should drop the term HBCU because it may scare whites away
@@letrat7021yes they do
Black colleges? This is 2021 and murrica still has segregation, lol
Yes Murrica is rampant with systemic racism, why wouldn’t there be segregation as well
Yea it’s sad
Here is the answer because the schools sucks that’s why it’s not that hard to understand
that so american... how can we overcome racism? by seperating people into only white or only black colleges.... obviously they should still all get equal funding
Yes the reason these colleges even exist is because of American white supremacy that would not allow blacks to go to any college. And of course they should get equal funding since the whole reason they exist is because of racism.
Yeah. Whites forced them to open up their own schools and now whites are wondering why it’s separate. So much gets lost in history over a couple of generations.
@@JudgeDredd_ well but now all colleges are open for everyone (are they?). if thats the case why would you still seperate the two groups? its like two societies that got close to nothing in common.
@@Marvin-ii7bh i assume its history... the college has history
@@jollygreen4662no they don’t

Keep fighting for equality 💪
They have equality, they're fighting for equity
Yes! Equality based on performance.
Their is nothing to fight for
@@The_king567nothing "left" to fight for the people who have spent centuries building establishment but the people who just started building that establishment 50 years ago has a bit still to go
@@businessbuilder92 and those people are dead and there is no reason to have them now and they are a waste of money
Trump helped HBCUs ..........
I give him credit for that..........
USA - white colleges, black colleges, christian colleges, liberal colleges, conservative colleges -why can't they just have colleges?
Being different attracts students... that brings in profits
Watch the report.
@@TWolfe777hell yea bring segregation back
@@TWolfe777it’s wrong
where are white colleges?
They are being funded as was mentioned
Everywhere
They're the one's the black's weren't allowed to go to 🙃
They are funded by endowments from slavery.
@@letrat7021 does anyone here have any evidence that HBCUs have not received the amount of money they were supposed to receive?
I wonder how people would feel about a white university. The idea of a race-specific university horrifies me.
The whole reason these universities exist is because black people could not attend colleges because of racism so there was a such thing as “white universities”…Fun fact anybody regardless of race can attend a Historically black college…
I find it horrifying that racism is still alive and well today…
There are lots of those in the US, and everywhere there are white people. Racism is after all a belief system designed to maintain the Status Quo. There has been progress, but after decades of deliberate underfunding, that these Historically Black Colleges are still needed in the South speaks volumes. Yes, there are getting money now but nobody wants to even consider paying the nearly $500 million outstanding, and those students are at a disadvantage. And that's why these Colleges are still needed. It's a Catch-22. Racism hasn't died in the USA, and when the trend in populism comes with essentialism and nationalism, racism isn't too far behind. Seneca said: "All Cruelty comes from Weakness." And what Racists fear is their own weakness against the Other who is, or who is becoming Strong. That's why State of Tennessee and others states utterly ignored Federal Law and deliberately handicapped the Black Colleges by not allocating them their due funding for over 50 years. It's sad, but there we are.
No need to wonder, They are called PWI’s (predominantly white institutions). And being one of the few token minorities amongst a sea of white people is absolutely horrifying.
Education and health care should be free in every country....
I thank god that I'm born in INDIA...
Every political party in INDIA is economically left or centre-left.
Americans are having a hard time with everything because they only have 2 Right wing parties.... And it creates a "Ratchet effect".
I suggest communism for you...
Didnt trump sign a permanent bill for $250 million a year? What happend to that?
It's $255m total STEM funding and only. $85M was for HBCU's. Earmarking the funding to only be spent on STEM doesn't keep the university open.
They should embrace more diversity honestly. Think how vibrant traditionally black campus could become with more Asians or latinos!
They are welcome to apply whenever they want. It's not a Blacks only university.
From the perspective of an outsider I am very surprised how a university that discriminate based on race still exist? They should not be funded at all. The funding should go to universities that accept students for their academic prowess and do not discriminate based on race
African Americans are systematically discriminated against in nearly all parts of life, why can’t you just let them have this one thing?
"Historically Black College" does not refer to what students can be admitted... it refers to the history of the university. People of any race or ethnicity are allowed to attend these schools.
@@myles-media ok did not realize that from the video. Thank you for the clarification that makes more sense. I hope there is equal opportunity for all races to attend these universities.
@@myles-media does anyone here have any evidence that HBCUs have not received the amount of money they were supposed to receive?
@@myles-mediaand they shouldn’t be a thing in 2023
*I am not an American, and have some questions, so you have Black Colleges in US, is there any White Colleges in US as well?! or is it racist to have so called White Colleges?! if it's so how having Black Colleges is not racist?!*
HBCUs exist because Black folks were banned from white institutions. Even now folks would argue schools are more segregated now due to the backlash against school integration and a lot of black students find themselves bullied by racists, treated harsher by teachers, more likely to be arrested on school grounds, and more likely to be suspended or expelled. So no HBCUs aren't racist and I'd prefer more schools for Black students that center around Black American culture.
Of course that what racist right wing nut will say
Most colleges in the US are "white" colleges. HBCUs are schools created during the time of segregation in America. The student demographics just never changed over time. The only difference is now anyone regardless of race can go to a "white" or "black" college.
There were Whites only universities. Harvard was the first US university, built in 1636. No Black students at the time. Black students were not allowed at White universities. So Blacks built their own Universities, because it's the only place they were allowed to go. In 1964, universities were no longer allowed to be white only or black only. So now they're called Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).
Isn’t the funding is based on performance?
No it is not.
