>White Universities have these same requirements, especially concerning freshman, or sophmore year! All my friends at White Universities have these same complaints, so that has nothing to do with HBCU's! You can't put that on black colleges! You can't base your opinion on just your own black college.

EVen if it were an elective the point remains the same, but every member of my program must take that course, and I have found this problem in every course that I have taken at Hopkins! I am known for bringing up the issue. When discussing the begingings of education, we started in Europe and never mentioned one person from a minority background! I school these Havard and Yale kids from my knowledge gained at Hampton!

NO you didn't get it! Hampton is 89% black and 11%other/white/international/asian etc. So if we have 11% white and other and were private, and other white schools only have 2% black! We are more diverse than them! I am clearly not stating that were more diverse because we have majority blacks, you didn't read correctly!

Also, there are good black colleges and bad black colleges, just like there are good and bad white colleges! I've never heard of your college, but it might be just the bad ones! You don't look at all white colleges in one lump sum, so why does it make sense to anaylze the black colleges as a whole! Not every black college is a Hampton, or a Howard, Spelman, or Morehouse! Hampton is the bomb, and we were rated in the top 25 of all schools in the south U.S. news and world report! SO you got your answer right there! You have to look at them individually, that's just how it goes for college evaluations on a national level!
