most posts on this thread even advocate the inclusion or support of hbcu's without even questioning their merit. at least merit for black people that is. of course morehouse can produce doctors but that's within a system created by others whose rules will be adhered to. the problems needing to be solved need a revolutionary type solution which is why the continual trying of current methods leads us nowhere. i was at howard a little while ago ad spike lee said during a forum that "we as black people have enough actors singers and dancers and rappers, we need lawyers and people behind the camera to step up. similarly, morehouse continuing to produce people of the same calibre going to work for the benfit of others and producing only more african american negroes is not helping black people.

for me to explain how this one example of octors relates to why morehouse is not producing quality people whould involve a wholistic circular explanation of the necessity for the very people hbcu's produce, and the history off hbcu's period. long story short, look at the products and guage the school. most people matriculating through are just refining their skills at being better americans. peace
