From Oklahoma

Hello there,I didn't attend an HBCU and I would never have atetdned one... yes...I know that there are folks out there who think I am "hatin'" on HBCUs but I am not.I don't think that being in an all-black construct prepares black students to compete mentally and academically with whites. At my blog, I have written TWO posts about dominance strategy... plenty of black women who have never left the all-black construct had NEVER been exposed to dominance theory. They were floored when I mentioned that I was introduced to it in all-white schools...as an elementary schooler! I am sure there are advantages to being at an HBCU but there are also disadvantages...the world out there is not all black...the norms among blacks WILL NOT be the norms among non-blacks. Black students need to prepare for the norms of the professional world that differ from the norms in all-black settings.Well....I'm climbing down from my soap box now....Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!Lisa
