The system is biased that’s why. It was never and has never been about meritocracy, it was about getting black students out. The best and brightest of the black community should be going to HBCUs anyway. They were created for a reason. I hope DEI is removed there as well.
As 67 yr old white guy I've benefited from affirmative action. There has been minority doctors and nurses who took care of me. Minority truck drivers have driven products to grocery stores. I had several minority teachers who inspired me. There are minority officers in the our military who are defending my freedom. There are minority judges and attorneys doing their best to make our courts fair. I say keep affirmative action maybe not forever, but for now it's still needed.
Agreed, going forward it will be interesting to see how legislatures fund the HBCU compared to white universities hbcu(s). Had a boyfriend in college who attended an HBCU because he as a white man could get a minority scholarship for attending a black college as a minority. He benefited greatly from being a minority.

Asian Enrollment at MIT SKYROCKETED in 2024, LMFAO. Asian Enrollment in California SKYROCKETED after 3 decades of Affirmative Action being banned AND BLACK/HISPANIC ENROLLMENT IS DOWN TO ALMOST ZERO, LMFAO. NAME even 1 Black majority country that creates its own advance technology like Japan, Taiwan, or South Korea?
I think as black people we need to attend HBCUs, create our own industries and Businesses and grow and maintain our communities . At this point it’s obvious that the majority in this country do not want us in their spaces .. which is fine . However, if we build our communities back up a SECOND time white people should not go out of their way to tear us down in fear of black people surpassing them . Let us keep our thriving communities & successes and compete on the same playing field and you won’t have to worry about us trying to attend your schools .
It's telling that Asian Americans weren't even interviewed or talked about, despite being the main plaintiffs in the supreme court affirmative action case
College admissions is a band-aid on a broken leg. Fix K-12 education in poor neighborhoods and prepare POC better for college...if you do that, diversity in college admissions will take care of itself.
If i had to wager, 2 things happen, 1) DEI/AA accetances flunk out because college is too hard and they're not prepared 2) colleges will bend backwards to pass and retain them allowing them a degree into a workforce they arent ready killing people none of those are good
School funds are determined by property taxes in the US, you know this. Richer parents taking their kids to private school and charter schools taking in certain people only makes it so that these public schools never improve. Poor kids generally, but especially black kids, are put in these places that are destined to have low passing rates and produce kids who can't read or do math due to "no child left behind". In theory what you're saying is good but who actually campaigns on this and tries to make things equal from the beginning. Then you have legacy and nobody cares about them and how much space they're taking up. The more you realize that certain racial groups were forced into the poor side of an income distribution system, the more you'll see that affirmative action was needed to help things be better.
They try but the culture these communities practice along with toxicity within them, change is hard to initiate. Lots of folks within these communities have kids illegitimately just to game the welfare system without providing any parental guidance towards raising their children who end up becoming criminals and violent homeless people wandering the society.
I studied affirmative action in college. We are taught very simply that AA was a failure, BUT it was the best we'd had up until then, and a REPLACEMENT program needed to take its place NOT eliminating it outright. It held back the swell that we clearly see even after 1 year. The problem is k-12 education and colleges trying to mitigate the overwhelming failure of administrators NOT teachers over the last 50 years.
Where were native Black Americans when Asians who know nothing about our history in the USA were making demands to change the system? We let people come into our country and work against us and embrace those same people with open arms. This exposes a weakness in Black families ultimately. Everyone else is competing and we are busy making people comfortable. Let this be a call to action; what will we do about it?? Hold down our HBCUs, emerge as leaders, and build build build!
@@alinatarasyukrussianrefuge6549Black Americans built and nurtured America into existence, you Ellis island refugees came way after the hard work was completed
I think this is probably one of the best things to happen to African Americans. So many black kids are intelligent and strong. A new system is emerging. They can now thrive in these HBCUs. It's a new day.
You are clueless. Blks were being admitted and not qualified. They failed and owed 1000's in school loans. Wyts and Asians had to score 2 to 300 points higher on SATS for admittance. NOW Qualified blks will be admitted.

@@Lovelyone1that’s certainly true but a lot of that has to do with funding. The reality is that competitive high level collegiate sports is a billion dollar business. Without the enormous profits from competitive college sports, most major pwi schools would barely be able to keep their doors open. If 90% of the top black athletes in the country realized that and instead chose hbcu’s and took all the big time sponsorships with them it could generate a $billion in revenue for hbcu institutions in the span of a single season and help them expand. The opportunities that could create for the AA community in general is incredible. But of course the pwi schools don’t want that and will entice talented black athletes to join their programs to give the illusion of integration to keep those billions in scholarships flowing.
Africans and black immigrants do not fight for the original Black Americans. They are entitled to the fruits of a struggle they did commit to. They offer Black Americans no tangible international benefits in their home countries.
You know, if ANYONE really and truly WANTS a college education, they will do what it takes, even if that means a local state or even community college. And besides, most people in college have no business being in college in the first place. Germany does it right: they have different paths after high school, where people can seriously consider trade school. And so on.
I like what the athlete at UNC said: Minority enrollment isn't down in athletics...for now. I wonder...with the HBCUs seeing record application submissions, will we eventually see any HBCUs in Division I athletics? What's going to happen if elite Division I PWIs lose out in recruitment against HBCUs? Can HBCUs provide a path to the pros for many Black athletes? As the saying goes, "When the gods choose to punish us, they answer our prayers." They wanted affirmative action gone. Now, they get to deal with the consequences.
Saw a taste of that at Jackson State University with their football when Deion was the coach. We were taking top recruits. The PWIs were in an uproar. They ended up tempting and taking Deion to die the noise of top recruits picking HBCUs
If they want to make education admission truly equal they need to also be legacy-blind and money-blind. The scandal around families paying to admit their children through back-door elite sports like rowing also revealed that admission departments track the home prices of applicants.
BLACK ATJHLETES DO NOT GO TO ANY PWI THAT IS NOT ACCEPTNG. GO TO AN ACCEPTING UNIVERSITY. TAKE ALL THE ATHLETES.

@@PattyOflan88that’s what every non black group has been telling black ppl for generations. Now that black ppl are somewhat in a position to give you non blacks the same negative pushback you have always given to us, you wanna act butt hurt about it lol 😢😂
1962, I could not get into nursing school in Detroit Mi. Henry Ford Hospital required a photo with the application. Homer G. Phillips allowed me to take the entrance exam at a local teacher’s home, I was accepted. Best thing that could have happened. We worked very had, was well worth it. Working with staff and doctors that shared my culture, there is immense value.
As a graduate myself, HBCU experiences are grounding for Black students. Going through the transition to adulthood is hard enough without having to overly deal with discrimination across the board. We’ve seen this movie before.
Let’s be honest, at the end of the day, college is for that diploma. A degree from Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, aka PWI’s are gold. We need more black alumni from these institutions. Can you imagine living in a country where people could accurately assume every black person went to an HBCU? I think blacks should focus more on why so few of them even get to college. Black people are the minority in the country so it’s a given you will be a minority is almost every institution. That’s ok. Our ancestors didn’t fight for integration, for future generations to just seclude themselves from society.
The value of any college degree varies inversely with the number of degree holders. Right now too many people have degrees making them expensive HS diplomas and this includes Harvard and Yale.
It's gold because they cheat, stole and are still stealing. They still have stolen art and enslaved people body parts in their "archives". It's gold because we bought into the nonsense that it is gold, while these institutions are actively hurting black people til this day. The ancestors fought for their descendants to be able to create a happy, human and descent life for themselves, not constantly force themselves to where they are not wanted and could be harmed, which black people have always done, always trying to fit in, to include everybody, to forgive everyone,... What's happening now, is what happened when you collectively always try to please and appease oppressors.
The court decision has had the least impact on Black students, especially in comparison to Asian and Western Asian communities. This pattern is unfortunately typical.
As an HBCU alumnus, I'm glad to see our kids taking a closer look at HBCUs. When I attended in the 80s, many were there as kids of previous students. I was a 1st generation attendee. Their pride at continuing the legacy was heart warming. I had some of the best times and learning experiences. This surge of attendees gives me hope that those experiences are not lost.
I meeaaaannn would this not effect all minorities whether they be indian, hispanic etc not just black. And we need to learn to operate in black spaces and not always cater to fit into a white world...... Going to an HBCU shouldve never been seen as less than. Go where youre celebrated. A culture that embraces systemic racism will never embrace you or me and thats OKAY. These students will be more appreciated by their own culture anyways.
Banning affirmative action is no different than banning the consideration of circumstances. I'll take a B student from the ghetto over an A- student raised in an academic incubator any day of the week.
Certain people have this weird belief that someone who got 93 points in one test is more worthy of being admitted than someone who got 92. Therefore if I admit a black student with a 92 score over a white student with a 93 score then Im stealing something from the white student. As if a 1+ point difference means a person is overall superior than everyone else who got a lower score. Being good at taking standardized tests does not make you a better candidate. Everyone over a certain threshold of GPA or test scores already has merit. People who were able to overcome socio economic hardships and get there are more deserving to be admitted than someone who had it easier from the beginning, that is real merit.
Latino is not a race.There are plenty of Latinos who are White, and others who are Black, and many who are mixed race or Asian. It's akin to pretending that North Americans of different races and backgrounds are one ethnic/racial group, simply because they are from the same continent and speak English.
No the person who worked and studied the hardest deserves to get in. Your background does not matter. It's not weird to give the hardest worker the reward. That's how it works in the real world.
Blks were being admitted and not qualified. They failed and owed 1000's in school loans. Wyts and Asians had to score 2 to 300 points higher on SATS for admittance. NOW Qualified blks will be admitted.
Athletic scholarships won't be affected. They bring too much money into the colleges. Unless we're talking Notre Dame,Duke,Stanford etc these schools don't care about grades when it comes to their student athletes. Sad,but true.
Do you even get the irony of you using technology invented by Asian, White, and Indian men to call for discrimination against Asians, Whites, and Indians?

Seems like applications should be considered without gender, race, names. Because they're def. seeing a black application & saying oh I can't consider this person above anybody else for any reason it sounds like is what's happening...Maybe they should just fully blind examine the applications & see if that ends up with a more diverse mix of students. I don't know.
This is so crazy! We as Blacks live in a diverse nation where we are a minority. Around 13% - 15%. Why are they crying about representation? Face the facts and acts accordingly. Teaching our children to constantly focus on equality, representation and fairness only perpetuates racial divisions and feelings of "otherness".
Unless you need a trade school then I think it’s best for us to apply to multiple HBCU’s, but also apply to and visit at least 2 PWI schools of choice.
When one race is preferred over because of the race, that is Racism and discrimination to other races. It's better that affirmative action has been struck down. A merit-based system is the way to go for a 1st world system. We cannot allow patronization of 1 race over the other. If u deserve the position based on your ability and/or intellect including skills, then go get in. It should be that simple. Regardless of the race, gender, religious affiliation, and social status.
This is awesome. These students have the potential to get a great education by professors who are Knowledgable, dedicated, and truly care about their success.
In my opinion the institution does not matter it is about the piece of paper on the wall that you have earned (your degree), your connections, and the experiences. Going to a big name college/university is just something we do as Americans. We can get the same and or even better education at a community college. I do understand about being around people of the same background.
I'm so glad I went to NC A&T where I received my Bachelor's in Nursing. I never wanted be where I was tolerated, but celebrated. It was a celebration going to school with my own people. It was like a family reunion or a little Wakanda in real time. As black people, we need to promote, protect and support our HBCUs as they're the avenues that mobilize our communities for better futures.
This comment section really likes to highlight that they didn't listen to the students in the video and their experience. Cause ya know, so and so's experience from 20, 30, 60 years ago is truly a reflection of what university is now.
No one thinks that education is out of reach for every young person? I’m black and feel like using the affirmative action excuse for college drop off is insane when there’s no money for school and the govt lets schools charge their own prices
As an African-American who attended a PWI in NC prior to the affirmative action ban, I believe that the comfort level, or feeling of belonging, has always been greater at an HBCU. I had friends at UNC, Duke, NCSU, NC Central, NC A&T, and Morehouse, and all were top students in high school who could have been accepted anywhere except for possibly Duke. Previously, schools maintained a desired percentage of ethnic groups that met their respective entry requirements. For example, I know of an ACC university not accepting some Asian American students because of the school's desire to keep their student body diverse. The only time those entry requirements were lowered was for select athletes.

What is going to be fun is when they find out does not impact minority enrollment. How about the drop in male enrollment? That is actually a thing.
What is going to be fun is you finding out that Asian, Indian, and Male enrollment at MIT in the Freshmen Class skyrocketed after Affirmative Action was banned.
We never should have attended PWI to begin with. On the other hand HBCU have been known to have infrastructural issues. I'm glad I went to a HBCU, but they're not all created equal. So it's often a choice of lack of resources vs good resources and alienation unless you're an athlete or in the Black Student Union. Not much in between. A lot of us are not going to make it into Hampton, Howard, Spellman, Morehouse, etc.
A drop in black in top colleges shall not be a reason that Asian should be discriminated. This just tells Americans it’s important to work hard and you will get accepted through meritocracy.
In hindsight. The end of affirmative action has been good for the black community. Enrollment in Historical Black College has went up. Given them well need funding and athletic prowess to compete. The end of affirmative made essential that black people must support their own institutions. It has allowed black to put their unique talents skills back to their own institutions. According to noble prize winner economics. Strong institutions is paramount in stabilizing and enrichment of communities.
I’m happy HBCU’s are growing now because of this. This will help them be able to update the facilities now. Idc if PWI enrollment lessens. I went to a PWI. The only reason I loved it was because it prepared me for racism. I went to black schools in elementary and an extremely diverse High school.
What will happen is diminished corporate support for the Ubiversities, because they’re still going to shop for talent. Now, they’ll be flooding the HBCUs even more, as will the law firms and hospitals looking for legal and medical talent.
#1 i challenge the interviewer to construct a series of questions by which the students are compelled to say. "On campus the university administrators offer a welcoming environment. The school brings thousands of people from all over the country /world together. We can't claim that individual behavior defines the 'university ' I also think about the young black people living off campus in nearby cities who do not have the privilege of an advanced, high quality education. If I view myself in a pool with them and my schoolmates - i question those who only focus on "my threats [diversity] " as a justified means of ignoring the other threats that these non-students face, which some people on campus being warned not to go to social events in these areas. As they don't have campus administrators to curate a safe environment "
More enrollment at HBCUs, great! Now get your act together and improve the administration, financial management and get better teachers. No excuses… the seats are full.
But it isn’t equal. College admissions is skewed to benefit students who are well connected or are from wealthy/high income families. As long as this is true, I see no issue with race being factored in admissions.
@@x-men69-96despite their wealth and celebrity, I bet you a million dollars they’d faced some form of discrimination, bias, or racism. Black people with money are still Black and still treated as such. Money is not always visible or immutable, skin color is unfortunately.
I have an advanced degree: college is an outdated model. Most of us are in debt with jobs that could not possibly pay us enough to repay our loans. America is broke. There are very few lucrative jobs and this is a smoke screen to disguise the truth that they don’t have enough jobs to give us all these 6 figure jobs. We are a few years away from a major issue when these top schools are going to be graduating people who are working low paying jobs. It starts with the blacks, then it’ll spread. When it hits the whites that’s when it’ll be another January 6th.
HWU was given more dollars to build their academic programs from State Legislatures. HBCU weren’t given enough to maintain the roof much less academic programs.
After affirmative action was struck down by the US supreme Court, I have seen a rise in Asian students and a decline of nearly every nationality at my university. Blacks and Hispanics were hit the hardest at my university. We need to bring back affirmative action so universities Will be more diverse.
Indian students are now replacing the African American student.. in addition to increased Hispanic enrollment. You should ask what can you do to better prepare AA students starting in middle school. Are teachers the issue? Enrichment opportunities? Or parental involvement.

HBCU’s can never compete with the PWI for NIL . Also black male athletes want to be around white women way too much to forgo PWI
this is really unfair. about legacy admission? why dont they strike that down? there needs to be uproar for legacy admissions!
They're not illegal. The law says you can't discriminate based on race
I agree it also should be illegal unfortunately now Donald trump’s puppets in Supreme Court will never let it happen
Legacy preference admission is already illegal before the ban against affirmative action.
The system is biased that’s why.
It was never and has never been about meritocracy, it was about getting black students out.
The best and brightest of the black community should be going to HBCUs anyway. They were created for a reason.
I hope DEI is removed there as well.
@@pastramiking6874Legacy admissions should be illegal if affirmative action is illegal.
Now we need all our top athletes to choose HBCU’S!
Nope we like blondes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As 67 yr old white guy I've benefited from affirmative action. There has been minority doctors and nurses who took care of me. Minority truck drivers have driven products to grocery stores. I had several minority teachers who inspired me. There are minority officers in the our military who are defending my freedom. There are minority judges and attorneys doing their best to make our courts fair. I say keep affirmative action maybe not forever, but for now it's still needed.
you sir, are a hopeless. look up MCAT scores by race btw.
They did away with Affirmative Action. It made the news but it wasn’t very loud! It was quickly covered up with other news.
Agreed, going forward it will be interesting to see how legislatures fund the HBCU compared to white universities hbcu(s). Had a boyfriend in college who attended an HBCU because he as a white man could get a minority scholarship for attending a black college as a minority. He benefited greatly from being a minority.
So would you fly in a plane with an unqualified pilot because he’s a minority?

I think as black people we need to attend HBCUs, create our own industries and Businesses and grow and maintain our communities . At this point it’s obvious that the majority in this country do not want us in their spaces .. which is fine . However, if we build our communities back up a SECOND time white people should not go out of their way to tear us down in fear of black people surpassing them . Let us keep our thriving communities & successes and compete on the same playing field and you won’t have to worry about us trying to attend your schools .

I am glad this decision is evolving the way it has because affirmative action always mostly benefitted non blacks.
How? I genuinely would like to understand.
It's telling that Asian Americans weren't even interviewed or talked about, despite being the main plaintiffs in the supreme court affirmative action case
Read the book; "When Affirmative Action Was White." It's a must read.
Nope no thanks if you’re smart you get in simple as that
Excellent book!

College admissions is a band-aid on a broken leg. Fix K-12 education in poor neighborhoods and prepare POC better for college...if you do that, diversity in college admissions will take care of itself.
If i had to wager, 2 things happen,
1) DEI/AA accetances flunk out because college is too hard and they're not prepared
2) colleges will bend backwards to pass and retain them allowing them a degree into a workforce they arent ready killing people
none of those are good
That doesn't fix it tho. Just think of how many high school grads who matriculate to college don't graduate. There's leaks all across the pipeline
School funds are determined by property taxes in the US, you know this. Richer parents taking their kids to private school and charter schools taking in certain people only makes it so that these public schools never improve. Poor kids generally, but especially black kids, are put in these places that are destined to have low passing rates and produce kids who can't read or do math due to "no child left behind". In theory what you're saying is good but who actually campaigns on this and tries to make things equal from the beginning. Then you have legacy and nobody cares about them and how much space they're taking up. The more you realize that certain racial groups were forced into the poor side of an income distribution system, the more you'll see that affirmative action was needed to help things be better.
They try but the culture these communities practice along with toxicity within them, change is hard to initiate. Lots of folks within these communities have kids illegitimately just to game the welfare system without providing any parental guidance towards raising their children who end up becoming criminals and violent homeless people wandering the society.
@@AP-pk6mk Yep...fix all that, because trying to make up for it at college admissions is way too late...
I studied affirmative action in college. We are taught very simply that AA was a failure, BUT it was the best we'd had up until then, and a REPLACEMENT program needed to take its place NOT eliminating it outright. It held back the swell that we clearly see even after 1 year. The problem is k-12 education and colleges trying to mitigate the overwhelming failure of administrators NOT teachers over the last 50 years.
Where were native Black Americans when Asians who know nothing about our history in the USA were making demands to change the system? We let people come into our country and work against us and embrace those same people with open arms. This exposes a weakness in Black families ultimately. Everyone else is competing and we are busy making people comfortable. Let this be a call to action; what will we do about it?? Hold down our HBCUs, emerge as leaders, and build build build!
the notion that bIks have ever made anyone "comfortable", wow are your delusions that strong? are you capable of even making your granny comfortable?

Hopefully. But there isn’t enough room for all of us at HBCUs….
@@Lovelyone1that’s certainly true but a lot of that has to do with funding. The reality is that competitive high level collegiate sports is a billion dollar business. Without the enormous profits from competitive college sports, most major pwi schools would barely be able to keep their doors open.
If 90% of the top black athletes in the country realized that and instead chose hbcu’s and took all the big time sponsorships with them it could generate a $billion in revenue for hbcu institutions in the span of a single season and help them expand.
The opportunities that could create for the AA community in general is incredible. But of course the pwi schools don’t want that and will entice talented black athletes to join their programs to give the illusion of integration to keep those billions in scholarships flowing.
Africans and black immigrants do not fight for the original Black Americans. They are entitled to the fruits of a struggle they did commit to. They offer Black Americans no tangible international benefits in their home countries.
You know, if ANYONE really and truly WANTS a college education, they will do what it takes, even if that means a local state or even community college. And besides, most people in college have no business being in college in the first place. Germany does it right: they have different paths after high school, where people can seriously consider trade school. And so on.
🙄😒 State colleges, esp top programs, are part of this too
You must be one of those people who don't belong in college because your comment offers NOTHING to the topic at hand. 😂🙄
I like what the athlete at UNC said: Minority enrollment isn't down in athletics...for now. I wonder...with the HBCUs seeing record application submissions, will we eventually see any HBCUs in Division I athletics? What's going to happen if elite Division I PWIs lose out in recruitment against HBCUs? Can HBCUs provide a path to the pros for many Black athletes? As the saying goes, "When the gods choose to punish us, they answer our prayers." They wanted affirmative action gone. Now, they get to deal with the consequences.
Saw a taste of that at Jackson State University with their football when Deion was the coach. We were taking top recruits. The PWIs were in an uproar. They ended up tempting and taking Deion to die the noise of top recruits picking HBCUs
Sports are like the least, most important thing in the world
If they want to make education admission truly equal they need to also be legacy-blind and money-blind. The scandal around families paying to admit their children through back-door elite sports like rowing also revealed that admission departments track the home prices of applicants.
That’s excellent. Now I hope that all of those Black athletes follow suit. Black talent belongs in HBCU’s not PWI’s.
We don't benefit from AA. Talk to people who do.
Yup. White women and Asians

1962, I could not get into nursing school in Detroit Mi. Henry Ford Hospital required a photo with the application. Homer G. Phillips allowed me to take the entrance exam at a local teacher’s home, I was accepted. Best thing that could have happened. We worked very had, was well worth it. Working with staff and doctors that shared my culture, there is immense value.
Unfortunately in the real world you're gonna be around people who don't look like you, and think differently from you.
Yep.
What’s the stats on Asian students at PWIs since the Supreme Court’s decision?
The numbers have dropped as well.
As a graduate myself, HBCU experiences are grounding for Black students. Going through the transition to adulthood is hard enough without having to overly deal with discrimination across the board. We’ve seen this movie before.
Are legacy admits constitutional? That’s not a meritocracy. Seems highly hypocritical.
It is constitutional. A private institution set what ever standards it wants as long as they are not racial. That's the law.
@@internetperson436 Maybe that should be changed , new law
Let’s be honest, at the end of the day, college is for that diploma. A degree from Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, aka PWI’s are gold. We need more black alumni from these institutions. Can you imagine living in a country where people could accurately assume every black person went to an HBCU? I think blacks should focus more on why so few of them even get to college. Black people are the minority in the country so it’s a given you will be a minority is almost every institution. That’s ok. Our ancestors didn’t fight for integration, for future generations to just seclude themselves from society.
The value of any college degree varies inversely with the number of degree holders. Right now too many people have degrees making them expensive HS diplomas and this includes Harvard and Yale.
It's gold because they cheat, stole and are still stealing. They still have stolen art and enslaved people body parts in their "archives".
It's gold because we bought into the nonsense that it is gold, while these institutions are actively hurting black people til this day.
The ancestors fought for their descendants to be able to create a happy, human and descent life for themselves, not constantly force themselves to where they are not wanted and could be harmed, which black people have always done, always trying to fit in, to include everybody, to forgive everyone,...
What's happening now, is what happened when you collectively always try to please and appease oppressors.
The court decision has had the least impact on Black students, especially in comparison to Asian and Western Asian communities. This pattern is unfortunately typical.
As an HBCU alumnus, I'm glad to see our kids taking a closer look at HBCUs. When I attended in the 80s, many were there as kids of previous students. I was a 1st generation attendee. Their pride at continuing the legacy was heart warming. I had some of the best times and learning experiences. This surge of attendees gives me hope that those experiences are not lost.
It's wild to be living in the Golden Age of the HBCU.
We should go to HBCUs
You should get admitted, because you are qualified

@@pep590funny what are legacy admission qualifications lol also AA still had requirements dum dum haha
I'm just here in the comments for that good ol' American racism
I meeaaaannn would this not effect all minorities whether they be indian, hispanic etc not just black. And we need to learn to operate in black spaces and not always cater to fit into a white world...... Going to an HBCU shouldve never been seen as less than. Go where youre celebrated. A culture that embraces systemic racism will never embrace you or me and thats OKAY. These students will be more appreciated by their own culture anyways.
Yet those HBCU grads are going to have to look for jobs in predominately white spaces.
It is less than because of deliberate underfunding by legislators and inadequate endowment funds.
White women benefit the most from affirmative action. Also, I am a proud HBCU graduate. Go where you are celebrated not tolerated.
Banning affirmative action is no different than banning the consideration of circumstances. I'll take a B student from the ghetto over an A- student raised in an academic incubator any day of the week.
They’ll be happier at HBCUs. 👍🏽
This actually saved HBCU’s enrollment has skyrocketed 😊 no need for PWI’s
Much better speaking from personal experience
Certain people have this weird belief that someone who got 93 points in one test is more worthy of being admitted than someone who got 92. Therefore if I admit a black student with a 92 score over a white student with a 93 score then Im stealing something from the white student. As if a 1+ point difference means a person is overall superior than everyone else who got a lower score. Being good at taking standardized tests does not make you a better candidate. Everyone over a certain threshold of GPA or test scores already has merit. People who were able to overcome socio economic hardships and get there are more deserving to be admitted than someone who had it easier from the beginning, that is real merit.
Latino is not a race.There are plenty of Latinos who are White, and others who are Black, and many who are mixed race or Asian. It's akin to pretending that North Americans of different races and backgrounds are one ethnic/racial group, simply because they are from the same continent and speak English.
No the person who worked and studied the hardest deserves to get in. Your background does not matter. It's not weird to give the hardest worker the reward. That's how it works in the real world.

Seems like applications should be considered without gender, race, names. Because they're def. seeing a black application & saying oh I can't consider this person above anybody else for any reason it sounds like is what's happening...Maybe they should just fully blind examine the applications & see if that ends up with a more diverse mix of students. I don't know.
Time all black students to go to HBCU.
This is so crazy! We as Blacks live in a diverse nation where we are a minority. Around 13% - 15%. Why are they crying about representation? Face the facts and acts accordingly. Teaching our children to constantly focus on equality, representation and fairness only perpetuates racial divisions and feelings of "otherness".
Unless you need a trade school then I think it’s best for us to apply to multiple HBCU’s, but also apply to and visit at least 2 PWI schools of choice.
When one race is preferred over because of the race, that is Racism and discrimination to other races.
It's better that affirmative action has been struck down.
A merit-based system is the way to go for a 1st world system. We cannot allow patronization of 1 race over the other.
If u deserve the position based on your ability and/or intellect including skills, then go get in. It should be that simple. Regardless of the race, gender, religious affiliation, and social status.
This is awesome. These students have the potential to get a great education by professors who are Knowledgable, dedicated, and truly care about their success.
Truly CARE about their Success. That part!
In my opinion the institution does not matter it is about the piece of paper on the wall that you have earned (your degree), your connections, and the experiences.
Going to a big name college/university is just something we do as Americans.
We can get the same and or even better education at a community college. I do understand about being around people of the same background.
Good, wish I had gone to an HBCU back in the day, I realized that later in life.
I'm so glad I went to NC A&T where I received my Bachelor's in Nursing. I never wanted be where I was tolerated, but celebrated. It was a celebration going to school with my own people. It was like a family reunion or a little Wakanda in real time.
As black people, we need to promote, protect and support our HBCUs as they're the avenues that mobilize our communities for better futures.
This comment section really likes to highlight that they didn't listen to the students in the video and their experience. Cause ya know, so and so's experience from 20, 30, 60 years ago is truly a reflection of what university is now.
No one thinks that education is out of reach for every young person? I’m black and feel like using the affirmative action excuse for college drop off is insane when there’s no money for school and the govt lets schools charge their own prices
But black enrollment numbers are the same as last year at ivy League universities
I think we need to support our HBCUs. Unfortunately the money is lacking. I'm hoping this changes. Campus housing seems to be an issue.
As an African-American who attended a PWI in NC prior to the affirmative action ban, I believe that the comfort level, or feeling of belonging, has always been greater at an HBCU. I had friends at UNC, Duke, NCSU, NC Central, NC A&T, and Morehouse, and all were top students in high school who could have been accepted anywhere except for possibly Duke. Previously, schools maintained a desired percentage of ethnic groups that met their respective entry requirements. For example, I know of an ACC university not accepting some Asian American students because of the school's desire to keep their student body diverse. The only time those entry requirements were lowered was for select athletes.
What is going to be fun is when they find out does not impact minority enrollment. How about the drop in male enrollment? That is actually a thing.
Men are not a minority in the patriarchal power structure.
What is going to be fun is you finding out that Asian, Indian, and Male enrollment at MIT in the Freshmen Class skyrocketed after Affirmative Action was banned.
Is it because males are being rejected or are they simply not applying?
We never should have attended PWI to begin with. On the other hand HBCU have been known to have infrastructural issues. I'm glad I went to a HBCU, but they're not all created equal. So it's often a choice of lack of resources vs good resources and alienation unless you're an athlete or in the Black Student Union. Not much in between. A lot of us are not going to make it into Hampton, Howard, Spellman, Morehouse, etc.

In hindsight. The end of affirmative action has been good for the black community.

The end of affirmative made essential that black people must support their own institutions.
It has allowed black to put their unique talents skills back to their own institutions.
According to noble prize winner economics. Strong institutions is paramount in stabilizing and enrichment of communities.
I’m happy HBCU’s are growing now because of this. This will help them be able to update the facilities now. Idc if PWI enrollment lessens. I went to a PWI. The only reason I loved it was because it prepared me for racism. I went to black schools in elementary and an extremely diverse High school.
What will happen is diminished corporate support for the Ubiversities, because they’re still going to shop for talent. Now, they’ll be flooding the HBCUs even more, as will the law firms and hospitals looking for legal and medical talent.
No they won't. They see HBCUs as being of lesser quality academically.
Philosophy, photography 😂😂😂. Brilliant
There will never be a drop off when it comes to sports… they understand the need for equality when it comes to sports but not academics…
#1 i challenge the interviewer to construct a series of questions by which the students are compelled to say. "On campus the university administrators offer a welcoming environment. The school brings thousands of people from all over the country /world together. We can't claim that individual behavior defines the 'university '
I also think about the young black people living off campus in nearby cities who do not have the privilege of an advanced, high quality education. If I view myself in a pool with them and my schoolmates - i question those who only focus on "my threats [diversity] " as a justified means of ignoring the other threats that these non-students face, which some people on campus being warned not to go to social events in these areas. As they don't have campus administrators to curate a safe environment "
Legacy admissions are just fine though.
More enrollment at HBCUs, great! Now get your act together and improve the administration, financial management and get better teachers. No excuses… the seats are full.
They are already effing with federal endowments at HBCUs…at least they are down here at TSU in Nashville..

Black parents should train their children not to offer up their selves for media propaganda media let them interview Asians, Hispanics and others!
You still gotta get a job at a corporation

PWIs want Black athletic talents but not necessarily Black academic or creative talents which do not turn a profit as quickly as sports.
This is fair. Everyone is equal regardless. If you deserve it, you should earn it regardless of your skin color
But it isn’t equal. College admissions is skewed to benefit students who are well connected or are from wealthy/high income families. As long as this is true, I see no issue with race being factored in admissions.
