That's that good rich Black person privilege there....
Personally....I think it's a dumb move. But I don't have all the details...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/25/usc-taraji-p-henson-racial-profiling-claims_n_6941084.html

Taraji P. Henson’s decision to enroll her son at Howard University as a result of the 20-year-old’s experience with racial profiling by police at the University of Southern California has prompted a series of reactions.

Henson previously told Uptown magazine that she would rather transfer her son to Howard, which is a Historically Black College or University, to lessen his chances of being racially profiled. Her comments have attracted the attention of numerous fans, media outlets and has even prompted the National Action Network to call for an investigation into the USC's police department.

In addition to the many responses, one official at the University of Southern California addressed Henson's claims and expressed interest in looking further into the issue in hopes of finding a resolution.

USC’s Department of Public Safety John Thomas, who has spent 21 years as a member of the Los Angeles Police Department prior to joining the staff at USC, made the following statement:

yes, I misspelled it on purpose

Not gonna say what u said is straight silly....Don't get down like that...

But...damn homie....The move to Howard isn't questionable because it's somehow a lesser choice in education in the big scheme of things (Fortune 500 companies recruit from schools like Howard and Morehouse at a very high clip....)

It's a silly move because Tarji's son is going to be fucked with no matter where he goes...Especially in DC...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Black eyes in the media, that is.

I still recall mine with fondness....but at the same time...after 15 years in the workforce....seeing what i've seen...learning what i've learned....I honestly think i'd be doing my little one a disservice by pushing her down the HBCU path.

Unless of course HBCU's in general correct course and update their goals and purpose to align with modern times.

She said it best, why waste her $ on a college that does not accept her son?

Not to say that can't happen at ANY college (happens to black men no matter where), but the odds are reduced at an HBCU

Not to mention Howard is a better school than USC.

Hopefully her kid wanted to do so, because if he didn't that's a whole new can of worms.

compared to Howard.

Indeed! That's one thing that burns me up....real talk...a HUGE reason I went to an HBCU (AGGIE PRIDE!!) was because it was drummed in my head from like 1st grade on up..... I've made it work....but ultimately...I REALLY feel like i'd be in a career that aligned more with the dreams I had as a youth if i'd gone somewhere else.

what do you think would have been different if you went to a pwi?
is it connections that could have been made to get you further in your career?
the pwi learning experiences and schools that would have opened more doors?

I opted to roll with Architectural Engineering and went to an HBCU because the engineering program was well respected. I discovered quickly that my engineering education wasn't quite as rigourus and structured as comparable program at the next closest school with the same major.. (Penn State).

The social aspects were GREAT...and have DEF made me the man I am today....but given my already fairly pro-Black and forward thinking mindset throughout high school and heading into college....I think I would have been able to get that social enrichment no matter where I went to school honestly.


"Seasons may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memories..."

they did the first two years of engineering course work at CAU and then the remaining two years of course work at Georgia Tech.

now that i am older, i realize that most likely creating that type of partnership between schools took some work and must have been championed by some remarkable folks.

It's def a good way to move forward....alTHOUGH....I worry that the impression is going have the affect of diminishing the respect for previous graduates of HBCU's even more. On some..."once again, we gotta help those screwed up darkies out."....

But even still... in the 90's Clark over A&T woulda been a dummy move lol...

And still I took on Engineering in lieu of my true desire to go into straight Architectural Design program.

"Seasons may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memories..."

the dual program appeared to be fully developed then
not sure what was the situation before then
i had some linesisters and prophytes that did the dual program at the time

lets not get emotional here. lets just look at the facts please.

Going by what my father in law says about USC (from LA, loves USC but says it's not that good of a school)

Was really wrong on my part

it wasnt always a top tier school but it has risen in the ranks dramatically in the past 10-15 yrs or so.

please get off the sherm sticks


does it really matter?

Her money, her kid and all that jazz but it is silly to me to pull him out of a better university when that wouldn't magically stop the potential for racial profiling.

1. LA is actually a huge feeder-city for Howard
2. She went to Howard herself
3. Her money, she can spend it how she wants

its kinda a non-story

purely on it's own merit, her reasoning is off though

Howard isn't Oz.

Going there comes with its own set of issues (and as stated, he can easily get profiled there too)

Hi Bin!
lol...


"Seasons may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memories..."

... the "imaginary-heaven-for-black-males" contingent

past that, how is saying HU isn't perfect dissing them?

"purely on it's own merit, her reasoning is off though"

I threw the 2% thing in just for sicing....
not related to your line about Howard not being Oz



"Seasons may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memories..."

Idk when she left the area, but its fair to assume that her son prolly spent a good portion of his childhood in the area and is familiar. Plus she prolly has family around that can look out for him if need be.

I'm half joking. But I can't imagine going to USC or UCLA and not being an athlete. Even rich Black kids don't have a great of an experience there if they aren't playing ball. I figure Ike will disagree halfway

She turned it into a USC vs. HU thing....which she should know is going to take the narrative and dialogue in a COMPLETELY different direction away from the core issue....

Like you're saying....it's likely more of a regional thing than a specific USC thing.

Washington DC is a GREAT region for people of color and different nationalities....

SHE went there and thats any proud alum's dream come true.

USC is probably the school everyone expected him to go to, except her.

now she's getting some pub off this decision and its kinda bs.

assuming the education/quality of life aspects differences are negligible, then the move is still 4 the better

not just because im a USC alum, but these types of decisions should be based on the education he will receive. all that racial profiling shit is just bullshit.

whats his major? is the program for that major at USC better than the program at HU? what about opportunities for internships, fellowships, etc? what about a network?

I know shes rich and can pay to fill the gaps, but i would think it better to encourage him to make his own way as much as he can.

i also think its kinda weak to remove a child (actually a grown man) from this type of danger instead of teaching them how to deal with it. racial profiling is a fact of being black, not necessarily of location or education.

It really f'd him up. Ended up going to Uva. I think he regrets the switch though. Many of his tight friends today are the dudes from his only year at morehouse.

Cookie: "Not so loud?"!" You ain't HEARD me get loud yet! WOULD YA LIKE TO, Officer *reads badge* Harris?!?

Porsha: *holding an ear* That's pretty loud, boss.

Cookie: Shut up, Porsha! *regains composure, to officer* You locked up my baby. I wanna see him.

PO #1: But, Mrs. Lyon...

Cookie: NOW!

*They go to the holding cell and open it. As another officer begins opening the door, Cookie runs for the cell door, arms stretched as if she's ready to hug Hakeem. But instead, she hits the officer opening the door over the head with a nightstick from her purse, grabs Hakeem from the cell, and begins closing the door*

Cookie: (to the other people in the jail cell) Sorry, y'all. He goes, y'all stay.

*Porsha uses a hairpin to deactivate the emergency back door and they all escape out. Once they've gotten a good distance away, Cookie turns to Hakeem*

CookieL: Oh, Hakeem...baby, are you okay?!

Hakeem: I'm fine now, Mom...thanks for busting me outta there!
