The administration of HBCU's promote the image of Negroes (knee-grows) who will become part of the status quo and be GLOBAL and CULTURED (read: Extremely Western and European). However their remains a big schism between the administration and the faculty.

This is the beauty to be found in HBCU's. The administration literally puts you through hell (preparing Afrikans for Amerikkka) and the few BOUT IT faculty members tell their students that this is BS and actually teach. Some students either conform to the administration's wishes or they take the alternative route and seek the TRUTH. All the while one has peers going through the same experience and thus has support in realizing what must be accomplished. If you look and the national salaries between administration and faculty at HBCU's compared to predominantly White universities one sees that their is a HUGE gap between administration and professors. This is far greater than non-HBCU's and it shows on how the administration treats faculty members, particularly the "radical" ones.

Morehouse is nicknamed "the Black Havard" because the historical patriarch of the school Benjamin Mayes modeled the curriculum after Harvard back in the 20s. He promoted any associated with Europeans to the nth degree. Students were REQUIRED to take classes in Etiquette, Classical music, European history, etc. Anything Afrikan (American, Continental or otherwise) was downplayed. Gospel music, jazz, let alone ANYTHING from the Continent was belittle. The glee club was known for its superb rendition of European music. Only in 1996 was an Afrikan American studies major offered at Morehouse! This trend is not unlike other HBCU's as they were designed to make Afrikans more European in the first place. Thus HBCU's have ALWAYS made Afrikans capable of going into the "real world" (read Western dominated world).

this is why i said M2 is exactly the type of product that HBCU admin's desire and also why I said he DIDN'T KNOW SHIT!!!

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
