Where did I say there was a problem?
Jezcoe: WuWei: Jezcoe: WuWei:HBCU funding
Now… ever wonder why black colleges exist in the first place?
Existed? No. I know why.
Good… then why is there a problem with funding them when other universities also get government funding?

You singled it out as a specific benefit when it really isn’t
Other universities get government funding along with HCBU’s.
PurpnGold:HBCUs have been funded by government/private since the early 1900s
There you go.
Compared to white universities? Peanuts.
PurpnGold:Nope. Women too. White women.
Of course. And black people, based on race.
So white people still benefited off legislation specifically for black people?
You singled it out as a specific benefit when it really isn’t
Of course it is. Earmarked and they don’t compete.
Compared to white universities? Peanuts.
My Alma Mater is swimming in Federal funding and the first black person admitted there was there at the same time my father was.
He couldn’t live on campus or even eat on campus. He had to live with a black family a mile away even though he was in the cadet corps.
Jezcoe:You singled it out as a specific benefit when it really isn’t
Of course it is. Earmarked and they don’t compete.
Funded with Pell grants and research funding… just like all other schools.
Compared to white universities? Peanuts.
Prove it. Should have voted for Trump if you wanted more.

Might want to do a little research.

Not talking about now… talking about historically.

Ok, why?
Ok, why?
Why what? Please don’t tell me you are asking why black universities historically got less funding than white ones.
Say it isn’t so

Why are you talking about “historically”?
And while we’re on the subject of “why”, why do you keep trying to compare 10% of the population to 75%?

I’m not. 10% should have always received, at least, proportional funding… not 75% of the funding.

What? You are:
Compared to white universities? Peanuts.
You do it constantly.
Why should 75% fund any for the 10%?
10% of what should have received funding “in proportion” to what?
What’s the proportion now?
Define “conservative values”
I am not the one trying to shoehorn century old party platforms into today’s ideological paradigm. Both of them are so far from today’s left, no valid comparison is possible. Like is it on the left or the right to want to increase tariffs when tariffs were how the government was funded?
Nah, you guys just want to label them conservatives to try and wash the stink of slavery off of the Democratic party.
Pee ew
Samm: Jezcoe: Samm:The thing is though, the inner cities are not in the suburbs. We are talking about the state of the inner cities.
Right. White flight from the cities into suburban homeownership leaving behind a class that was cut out from that benefit.
The largest asset that most people have is their house. White families were able to get that asset in the 40’s and 50’s … an asset that in a lot of cases tripled in value by the early 70’s.
So by the time the fair housing act passed… the people who were cut out from getting in on the ground floor was priced out.
They were relegated to be a renter class and not an owner class.
Lack of home ownership is not a factor in inner city blight. Virtually everyone living in urbania rents, even in cities whose core has not rotted.
Why do you think those wealthy white people fled the cities?
Now that the Fair Housing Act (1968) is enacted, why don’t blacks flee the cities too?
It was already explained.
Others had a near two decade head start in home ownership
But the problem with inner cities began more than 50 years ago …

Umm, they would have made a grand total of twenty k on a home held from 1950 until 1970 on average. And that is adjusted for inflation.
1950’s Levittown was $7,000-$8,0000 a house. Vets put no money down.
By 1977 a Levittown house was $36,000.
That is a government subsidized investment that was restricted from a certain type of person from getting in on it.
Levittown was a unique situation. It is not applicable to the situation in most large cities that are suffering from urban blight of their cores.
1964 Ancient history with regard to race issues.
zantax:Damnable Democrats.
Racism is not partisan.
But accusation of racism often is.
But the problem with inner cities began more than 50 years ago …
Okay… then why are there inner city problems?
