NAACP to Address the Underfunding of HBCUs across the U.S. on Upcoming Tele-Town Hall

A Friend: They want more white $$s (of course) for worthless, hysterically black colleges.

N.S.: The truth is, of course, the diametrical opposite of this hoax. HBCUs are all overfunded. The feds pump billions of dollars in blood money into them (private, public, no matter) every year, in addition to every other type of graft. But they're always in financial trouble, because their administrators steal every dollar they can get their hands on, and the DOJ and DOE always look the other way.

BALTIMORE (October 8, 2019)—On Thursday, October 10, 2019, the NAACP will address the underfunding of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Maryland and several other states on a Tele-Town Hall featuring Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP and Kristen Clarke, President and Executive Director, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Created initially as the only collegiate institutional options for African American students in states that segregated students, HBCUs now risk extinction due to the lack of state funding. April Ryan, White House correspondent and political analyst, will moderate the hour-long discussion.

[N.S.: April Ryan is a notorious racist.]

"Across the country, HBCUs are facing financial challenges and roadblocks that pose an existential threat," said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. "Education is one of the most critical civil rights issues we face today, and it is our responsibility to ensure that our HBCUs, which produce some of the foremost African-American college graduates remain viable indefinitely."

"For over a decade, we have fought the state of Maryland to secure full and adequate funding for the state's HBCUs after a court found the state violated the constitution in its treatment and funding of HBCUs. But the state continues to drag its feet and short-change the HBCUs. It's time for Governor Hogan and lawmakers across Maryland to do the right thing and provide a full and adequate settlement for the state's HBCUs to remedy decades of injustice. We are pleased to partner with the NAACP to right this historical wrong," said Kristen Clarke, President and Executive Director, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

Federal and state government has [sic] long supported HBCUs [but you just said that Maryland doesn't adequately fund its HBCUs], but the financial support pales in comparison to predominantly white institutions. [Liar. Most OPUs today are predominantly non-white.] In the last several years, HBCUs have been on the brink of closing their doors to students, while some have shut down entirely because of their inability to keep pace with the rising cost of operations.

DALLAS' BROWN WAS KILLED IN DRUG DEAL GONE WRONG-THREE BLACKS INVOLVED(ONE ARRESTED)
(NBC News)
Three suspects have been identified in the murder of Joshua Brown, a key witness in the murder trial of former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger.

The three — identified as Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, Michael Mitchell, 32, and Thaddeous Green, 22 — traveled from Alexandria, Louisiana, to purchase drugs from Brown, 28, in the parking lot of a Dallas apartment complex, according to authorities.


Jacquerious Mitchell was in custody at a hospital and the other two suspects were being sought, Assistant Chief Avery Moore said at a news conference Tuesday. The two fugitives are believed to be armed and dangerous, he said.

Jacquerious Mitchell told police that Brown shot him in the chest after Green and Brown got into an altercation during the drug deal, and that Green then shot Brown twice, Moore said.
GRA:Whatever b.s. NNN wanted to sell on its airwaves tonight about Brown's death being attributed to police taking revenge (totally ridiculous),turned out to be the usual suspects doing what the usual suspects do--sell drugs and kill their customers.
All the participants involved went to a college called UFN--The University of Felonious Negroes--and one of them(Brown)has graduated to the University of DEAD Felonious Negroes.
Lesta wont say much about this--it's black crime--probably a mention.
