[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 554198, member: 6211"] Pfff... The [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_black_colleges_and_universities']historically black university is a vestige of segregation[/URL] but anyone can attend today. Some of these schools no longer have a majority black student population. In the southeast, where these are concentrated, I have observed a much healthier black middle class and more racially-integrated neighborhoods. Is this the product of historically black universities? -I dunno. But it seems like blacks have more going for themselves in this part of the country and I think institutions that black people can take pride in contributes to that. In contrast, when I return home to Wisconsin, I'm usually struck by the virtual absence of blacks outside small pockets in [URL='http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/03/24/10-of-the-most-segregated-cities-in-the-u-s/9/']Milwaukee[/URL] and, to a lesser degree, Madison (many of the country's most segregated cities in America are located in the upper Midwest- check out the link). But I don't think Wisconsin boasts any historically black universities so I guess you have that to feel good about. A long way to go is right. Big picture: it's mistaken to suggest that historically black universities are simply a product of segregation rather than a part of the fix. [/QUOTE]
